I don't remember MW exact words. Remember she cannot lie.I believe she said she lost it, right? If so, she may understand she lost it fair and square.

I don’t want to do either of those things, so I will keep writing the same way I always have”

That is a great answer to the question. For what it’s worth, my wife has always said she wouldn’t mind some different body types in the books, but his answer makes perfect sense.

As for his tone, I think he answered in a way to make it plain he had heard the question before, he understands where it is coming from, but it’s not something he intends to pay any attention to.

Let the writer write the way he wants to write.

I also agree about how conflicting orders could be resolved.

I theorize it was actually done in such a way as to satisfy cosmic balance, They were allowed to steal it and incur that debt so as she could avoid owing them by giving it out, though it was necessary for them to acquire it.

Wasn't Archangel or one of the places lost to Merlin in a bet?  Perhaps Mother Winter lost some sort of wager?
