Kumori's Identity-Elaine and Harry's daughter-Faith Astor

<< < (3/9) > >>

I'll file it under possibility, as one of my crazy wags.  It springs though from the belief that the powers would want to have Harry's offspring.  And, what better way to get an offspring than to engineer the situation to get it.

I'm also reminded of this exchange between Harry and Maeve.

--- Quote ---Maeve idly stretched out a hand. A goblet of some golden liquid appeared in her fingers and rimed over with frost as I watched. She took a sip of the drink, whatever it was, and then said, "First, I will name my price."
"There'd better be a blue light special. I don't have much to trade, all things considered."
"True. I cannot ask for a claim over you, because Queen Mab has that already. But let me see." She tapped a fingernail to her lips again and then said, "Your issue."
"Eh?" I said, glibly. "Your issue, wizard," she said, toying with a violet dreadlock. "Your offspring. Your firstborn. And in exchange I will give you the knowledge you seek."
"News flash, Goldilocks. I don't have any children."
Maeve laughed. "Naturally not. But the details could be arranged."
Evidently that was a cue. The dark pool of maybe-water stirred, drawing my eye. Ripples whispered as they lapped at the edges of the pool.
"What's that?" Billy whispered to me.
The waters parted, and a Sidhe girl rose out of the pool. She was tall, slender, water sliding down over pale, naked, supple curves.

It seems to me that Maeve may know something about Harry's 'firstborn' or Harry having one that Harry is clueless about. And if not, it still proves the point that the powers are interested in getting offspring from Harry.
Remember, Lasciel just relished the thought of getting Bonnie because it partly sprang from Harry.

It makes me wonder now if Mab had at any point taken advantage of Harry, unbeknownst to him, to obtain a child with him.

raidem:
And that's without getting into her being Kumori on top of that.

Yeah, the Kumori bit is just adding an additional layer of improbabilities on top.  I think it is good to examine it though. Had I not investigated the Elaine/Harry have a child theory, the Kumori being that child wouldn't have been explored, nor would the Faith Astor being the child get explored.

peregrine:
Except that Maeve specifically says Harry doesn't have a kid.  And going off her apparent desire to make the firstborn, it suggests that's what she's thinking of.

Granted, maybe she could lie even then, but I'm skeptical of that.

Harry points out to Maeve that she violated guest right during that meeting.
polite. "Sorry, sweetie, but I have a couple problems with that offer." Maeve's lips tightened. "And those would be?" "One. I'm not handing over a child to you. Not mine, not anyone's, not now, and not ever. If you had a brain in your head, you'd have known that." Maeve's already pale face blanched even more, and she sat bolt upright on her throne. "You dare—" "Shut up," I snarled, and it came out loud enough to ring off the walls of the ballroom. "I'm not finished." Maeve jerked as though I'd slapped her. Her mouth dropped open, and she blinked at me. "I came here under your invitation and protection. I am your guest. But in spite of that you've thrown glamour at me anyway." I stood up, my hands spread on the table, leaning toward her for emphasis. "I don't have time for this crap. You don't scare me, lady," I said. "I only came here for answers—but if you keep pushing me, I'm going to push back. Hard."

She violated Winter Law regarding Guest Rights.  I think at this point she is infected.

peregrine:
That I chalk up to one of those "if you can get away with it" things.  Harry certainly doesn't react as though it's an outright impossibility.
