Where, doesn't tell me where. Where matters, even an especially to a central mass shot with an older rifle.
So what are you proposing here, that Harry shot Ace, and they just ... sat there till Harry got picked up? And that it's an "older rifle" doesn't matter. A gun doesn't become less lethal because it's an older model.
You're really reaching here.
Yea... as the WK, sure... so? has nothing to do with what he's actually capable of surviving?
Sure. You're saying that getting blasted with a rifle wouldn't kill Ace, who hadn't Chosen and wouldn't have had the full power of the Redcap, while the Redcap himself felt he had to cheat in a hand-to-hand fight to beat Harry.
I'm talking about who can balance where, and if Ace is SK balance or N, balance to Harry's power, or if it all goes into the new mythos come the New Spiritus Animus....
What on Earth are you talking about?
Look, Ace just isn't a "balance" to Harry's power. He's not. He doesn't have anywhere near the power or ability that Harry showed even before he was the Winter Knight. Ace is a goon, a flunky.
Never said 'same thing' precisely but to act in balance to each others actions... however we Have empirical evidence they do just that. Mab choose Harry to kill Maeve despite years in between PG and CD and waited for the balance of him having killed Aurora too. So she acted directly in mirror to that, just like i'm pointing out the possibility of here in Titania saving ace, from a gunshot wound, on a boat. Also, since more than just Mab had a han8d in Harry, more than Titania can have a hand in Ace, so...
You did. You kept saying that because Harry was shot and killed on Lake Michigan, the same thing would happen to Ace.
And that's not at all why Mab had Harry kill Maeve. She had Harry kill Maeve because she was a nemesis agent, not because she felt her daughter had to die by Harry's hand because Aurora did.
Also, I'd like to point out that
Titania doesn't care. About anything. Killing Aurora broke her, remember? She says as much. Just as she says she was talked out of punishing Harry over it. She just plain is not going to go to the effort to revive someone like Ace, if she's going to go to the effort of reviving anybody.
with that attitude I have no chance of hammering home some understanding...
You're the one doing all the stretching to justify bringing back a character that nobody in the books has any incentive or reason to revive. Don't talk to me about "attitude."
No I've never heard of anyone signing off as Jim, but Jim sorry. And considering you were arguing someone in his book was dead it's not the first thing that came to mind. An I'm not insisting I'm right, I'm insisting you can't prove I'm wrong and that I have a valid preponderance of the evidence. Subtle difference.. also, that you may be wrong.
Not "signing off as Jim." Quoting a line that's ubiquitous in pop culture in general and SF/Fantasy fandom in particular.
As for "not insisting I'm right," what do you call this:
cause when He pops up I WILL remind you
That sounds like you're pretty darn insistent.
Actually, the hit squad was in balance to the Fetches sent out by Mab last year, she just waited to act til it helped her more.
There's nothing in the books that suggests this; the conclusion everyone comes to is that the move is directly because Harry is Winter's Emissary in that book. Hell, the word "fetch" is used once in the whole book, in reference to someone fetching a bag.
I mean, look at the Gruffs and the terms they're under. They're hunting Harry
explicitly in relation to Marcone's capture. Eldest Gruff calls it off once Marcone and Harry are safely off the island. Everything about them is explicitly and directly about the Small Favor case, and nobody once suggests it's "balance" about the Fetches.
I croaked, “Titania wants Marcone dead?”
“Put simply,” she replied. “And her Emissary will continue to
seek your death. Only by finding and saving the Baron’s life will
you preserve your own.” She paused. “Unless…”
“Unless?”
“Unless you should agree to take up the mantle of the Winter
Knight,” Mab said, smiling. “I should be forced to choose another
Emissary if you did, and your involvement in this matter could end.”
Her eyelids lowered, sleepily sensual, and her surrogate voice
turned liquid, heady, an audible caress. “As my Knight you would
know power and pleasure that few mortals have tasted.”
And there's Mab explicitly stating that Summer's emissary -- the Gruffs -- are after Harry because he's Mab's Emissary, explicitly in relation to the case of Marcone.
Again, nothing to do with the Fetches.
Where in those actions are toward the unseelie accords I don't see Summer acting I balance at all actually, possibly because that's Winters legit business. They have no Seelie accords for instance, Summer must be a signatory in the accords, have to abide by the words of the law. No reason for a Summer emissary, wasn't vs Summer interests, so she took what action she could with her held back squad to send after a mortal dice roll from before.
Except Summer was involved. It's explicitly involved. That's why the Gruffs are hunting Harry, explicitly to do with the case that he's an emissary for. You're just straight up ignoring half the books.
Harry set to kill Maeve years later proves my point absolutely. So if your gonna refute anything focus on what matters.
Nope, doesn't come anywhere near to proving your point. At this point, you're making things up and drawing connections the book never does.
