It's only honoring the person spoken to:

TKD section 4.2.8. Type 8: Honorific:
<<<<<<  There is but one suffix in this category. It is used to express extreme politeness or deference. It is used only in addressing a superior, someone of higher rank 
in the Klingon social, political, or military hierarchy. It is never required.

    {qaleghneS} "I am honored to see you" ({legh} "see")
    {HIja'neS} "do me the honor of telling me" ({ja'} "tell")

  This suffix is used rather infrequently by Klingons.
