Will the Big Moment Come in Peace Talks?

Um what. That was exactly my point. Harry being Harry he's been calling the council out for ages and will undoubtedly continue to do so for ages more. There's nothing special about Harry doing that and there never will be. Yes maybe someday circumstances will conspire to give Harry the whip hand and change how the council works, but Harry's not going to treat them any different just because he's got the whip hand, thats not how Harry works. He'll stand there and spit in the eye of gods, faires queens, vampire,s angles, (fallen or otherwise), and plain old vanilla mortals no matter what his relative position against them. Thats how Harry rolls.

More to the point so long as it doesn't interfere with the purpose of her court Mab mostly isn't going to give a monkey's about what anyone does to any of her people. The Winter Knight Mantle changes hands reguarly, getting a new knight would put a hiccup in Mab's work, but an easily smoothed one. Having to replace the junior queen would be a major disruption, and that makes it a direct attack on the courts purpose. Mab is really going to care about that, zand she's winter fae, her response to any kind of threat to her purpose is going to be to kill it as fast and hard as possibble.
Arjan:
--- Quote from: Ananda on August 03, 2018, 06:17:26 PM ---That all makes sense and seems logical, but I just don’t see the white council arresting and executing Molly, for example, if they meet up in Peace Talks. I’d think they’d be equally stand-offish regarding arresting and executing Dresden for something he does as winter knight while conducting business for Mab. I think, for the moment, he and Molly are a bit out of their grasp. Moreso for Molly. They just need to watch out if the day comes and they are no longer part of the winter court because, then, I think, the white council would come to make them pay the bill.

The salary is important. When you get a salary from someone you acquire obligations with it. Harry is a warden as long as they pay his salary and he accepts it.
Snark Knight:
I doubt even Harry's enemies on the Council would want to hash out their problems with him during PT. The Council would hate showing disunity or weakness in front of the assembled who's-who of the Accords powers even more than they hate Harry. With all the other powers around, it's a better opportunity for trying to manipulate Harry into a duel with someone who overpowers him. But taking him out in-house is better done later and not in front of so many witnesses.

From what Rashid implied it will be more important than a mere hashing out of differences, or who hates or doesn't hate Harry.. He implied that it will be more of a life or death situation with repercussions that go way beyond Harry's life or the future of the Council.

I had an idle thought. Maybe rather than confronting the Senior Council possibly he ends a White Council civil war.
