I don';t know either but have heard it before, so maybe a WoJ?

--- End quote ---
Yeah, sorry if that wasn't clear.  She shows Harry little Maggie as she is in real time.

I've heard it before too. Here. I try to listen to all the WoJ, but it's not like there is a central repository that's easy to track. This https://www.paranetonline.com/index.php/board,43.0.html is about as close as I've seen. Anyway, I don't recall hearing it from Jim.

@Morris: Cool.

--- Quote from: Mira ---True, but what we don't know is how Mab acquired the Atheme..  We know that Lea is detained, but don't know if it is because she defied Mab or because she is showing symptoms of infection or both.
--- End quote ---
Yes and no.  There are hints.
--- Quote ---"Because I do not tolerate challenges to my authority," she said. One pale hand drifted to the hilt of the knife at her belt. "Certain events had convinced your godmother that she was no longer bound by my word and will. She is now learning otherwise."
--- End quote ---
We know that Mab's word is Law.  Why was Lea able to warn Harry about the hazards of the Stone Table?  How Jim uses language in the first quote is as important as what she actually says.  If Mab doesn't care if Harry knows then she needn't be furtive, if on the other hand she has been told to tell him of the table but not the implications for him, how was she able to speak at all.  When Titania doesn't want Lilly and Fix to talk to Harry about her wishes they can't. 

However from the tinfoil hat section of the stadium.  When Lea is  on the crazy tree in Proven Guilty she says.
--- Quote ---Some of the strength seemed to ebb from her, and she suddenly seemed exhausted. “I grew too arrogant with the power I held. I thought I could overcome what stalks us all."
--- End quote ---
Did she know the Atheme was infected  with nemesis when she got it?



 

Bad Alias:
I'm fairly certain that Lea didn't know that the athame was infected. That's why she refers to the gifts as treacherous. Then again, it is often hard to properly interpret what a fairy actually means. For example, it could be said a Sidhe's promises are treacherous.
