Do you happen to have the exact quote Based on the way you represent it, I think it supports the position. Harry might not be obligated to fulfill a favor while he is WK but it doesn't mean he can't choose to, and if the debt never goes away, nor does Mab's promise that Harry's obligation to her will cease if Harry does fulfill a favor. It strikes me as a sneaky way of JB trying to cast doubt on something he has planned without directly lying.

--- Quote ---Now, prior to Cold Days Dresden still owes Mab one favour, does he still owe her that favour or did the events of Cold Days make up for his obligation?
Technically yeah, he still kind of owes her that one favour, but on the other hand, he also sort of owes her his complete loyalty, devotion and obedience so the extra favour is, you know, it's like "yeah okay, he also does have a hand grenade in his hand while he's sitting on top of a nuke that's about to go off", so you know, technically she could probably mess with that if he somehow got out of being the knight, But uh, generally speaking that didn't just get wiped away, Mab keeps very good books and that's not something that's going to be, she does not let things slide, it does not happen.

I can see the last favor as a backup plan against Harry. You kinda need to have a couple when dealing with him.

I could see him getting out of being the Winter Knight and thinking he is free, only for Mab to show up and claim that last favor for something Harry would not like or want to do. The thought of his internal monologue when he realizes he still owes a favor is making me smile.

wardenferry419:
Yeah, that is a moment that can't come soon enough.
