I have a hunch that a lot of creatures would find Justine's mental state 'appealing'. Which doesn't mean that there are not other reasons, too, of course.

Im leaning in the other direction, I think we're going to see some unforseen long-term effects of Thomas and Justine's unique relationship. Especially now that they're constantly imparting and unbinding the True Love protections in cycles. Im pretty sure that plus her active "dietician" program for Thomas is going to move the needle of his diet away from Lust.

Same book she's introduced it talks about what makes someone vulnerable to possession. (heck she pretty much acts possessed) a dozen books later and Thomas has eaten nearly her whole life at one point. She's now cured, but him? perhaps the reason why he's able to change his diet at all is a big eaten gob of Nemfactor from Justine? We've seen heard you are what you eat become mantra here. but what happens to those things that eat Nfection?

Toward what? The most common alternatives in the Court are fear and despair. I don't know that I would call either an improvement.

--- Quote ---The three families of the White Court feed on different emotions, is that like knife, spoon, fork, or can they mix it up?
They can mix it up, and it’s one of the things they fight about a lot, about what they do. There’s all this “you are what you eat” sort of thing in play, and the different houses have different aspects [unintelligible] divide things up by territory. And you could feed on all sorts of stuff. You could probably be a White Court vampire that fed on the warm happy feeling that people get when they’re holding a puppy. Although you’d be a really….you’d probably sparkle if you did that. [Unintelligible] it might actually be fun to show that in some future files.

Hopefully Jim will do this- make Thomas a sparkly vampire.
