Gatekeeper's Cryptic Question in Summer Knight
Griffyn612:
--- Quote from: Talby16 on November 03, 2017, 01:58:08 PM ---That was my initial line of reasoning. My hang-up is that it was not referenced again. It would make sense that the Gatekeeper needs to be good with time if the time at the Outer Gates move differently, but Harry visited the Gates in CD with no discernible loss or gain of time. It is either a subtle reference to midsummer solstice like wardenferry said or planted seed that has not yet sprouted.

I vote for seed that bore fruit in Cold Days, with the revelation of his job. It's a subtle thing, but fits with JB's long game style, a la Maeve's "odd little twinkle in her eye" after Harry demanded a truthful answer in PG. Shortly there after, she said her first known lie (she "believed" Mab was infected like Aurora), which we wouldn't know was a lie until Cold Days.
Slow burn on some things.

That could have been the moment she realized she could lie as well.

I can see this. Especially since the whole solstice thing didn't really work out.
