The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Molly and the guy in black
jbmdw45:
So... re-reading Skin Game, I was struck by two things at the end:
(1) Molly's body language with Harry at the end is fairly intimate. She un-selfconsciously hugs him around the neck, nods with her hair touching his, etc.
(2) When Molly was in Harry's head, she talked to the guy in black about the parasite. I wonder what else they talked about, don't you?
I feel like Molly knows now that she's got a shot with Harry and it's put her in a good, relaxed mood. I kind of feel like the thing with Murphy is not a resolution--it's just setting up a conflict so that it will be more painful for Harry (and Murph, and us!) when he winds up entangled with Molly and breaks Murphy's heart. (Just like Ric did with Murph's little sister! Ouch, again.)
Mr. Death:
It probably has more to do with her own mantle. Read Cold Case -- in it, we learn that like with the Winter Knight, the Winter Lady's libido gets a big shot in the arm.
Hell, it basically forces her to be a horny flirt instead of spilling Winter secrets.
And then bad things happen.
So basically, don't necessarily assume it's because Molly is comfortable hitting on Dresden, because chances are it's The Winter Lady being comfortable hitting on The Winter Knight.

yea... that combined with Harry as WK thinking he's physically stronger than the Lady... and Michael already accepting of Harry when he thinks they've done the nasty(which was Harry's prime motive for NOT doing so after she grew up I think), and I see very nasty surprise coming.(wait, so is Harry going to impregnate Molly so she can qualify for Queen O.o )

Harry's prime motive was that he's known Molly since she was a child and it just feels wrong to him. I'm sure Michael and how he would react was one of the reasons, but not the prime one.
And Harry is not stronger than the Lady. He's a mortal with borrowed power, she's a minor goddess.
If anything, I'd say Molly's taking on the mantle cements that nothing is going to happen between the two any time soon. Harry doesn't want it, Molly knows it can't happen, Harry sure as hell isn't going to brute force it (i.e., rape her), and even if he tried the Lady mantle would tear him to shreds.

actually his friends opinion of him matters a lot, and that whole know since she was a child thing really went away with the growing up... the mantle is only making his own thoughts louder there.

Physically? The Ladies mantle don't seem to do a whole lot besides extra grace/speed. And Harry in his WK persona made this claim on a knowing level, not some two bit guess, couple that with the fact the defense mechanism is a bersker aspect and my claim stands.

A. willing participant, see their shared dream.(go ahead and try to claim either one of them don't do bondage and kink) B. Can't tear apart what you can't escape.
Good debating you again Death... I thought we'd previously agreed or I wouldn't have tried to reply to you... but it was nice to see you try again.
