Cold Case - Molly's Truth

Note also that under the most strict readings of "truth" that some people use here, Molly actually lied. She said she couldn't do a thing, when she very much could. It'd be easy, all she would have to do is walk away. She just didn't want to.

Not really. Molly could not do it and if she did she wouldn't be Molly anymore.

Why not? There may be consequences if you like (Molly would not be herself any more) but she could do it. It's easy. Certainly nothing physical or metaphysical stopping her from doing it.

I do not think the fae are bound to a very strict literal interpretation of their words when what they say is a very well establisched saying. Molly can not bring herself do such a thing because she wants to be a decent person.
peregrine:
Yeah, that's why I said under the most strict readings. The same kind of readings that say that when Mab talks about stars falling before she breaks her word, it's not just her being poetic, but making literal prophecy.
forumghost:
I wouldn't say a prophecy exactly. IMO it's more a statement that if Mab fails to keep her word it means that she's failed, the Gates have been broken, and the stars are literally falling from the sky, Apocalypse Now.
