Ramírez & Lara Raith soulgaze

(1/3) > >>

kbrizzle:
While re-listening to White Night again, an interesting bit jumped out at me. After Harry & Ramírez arrive at Chateau Raith, Lara starts playing up the ‘come hither’, & focuses it on Ramírez, who responds by pointing a concealed knife at Lara’s throat & telling her that he’s not food. This leads to them getting into a soulgaze. I’ve paraphrased the convo below:


--- Quote ---
“Both of them stared, eyes widening & then shuddered. Lara took a small step back from Ramírez with her breathing slightly quickened. (Harry looks at her chest)
“If you meant to dissuade me, you haven’t” Lara says.
“Not you”.. it wasn’t to dissuade you” responds Ramírez in a rough voice.
“Wise for one so young. I advise you young wizard, not to hesitate so long to act should another approach you as I did” says Lara. (She then goes on about how attractive virgins are to Whamps).
Harry asks Ramírez a little later when they are alone, “You saw what was inside her?”
Ramírez shudders & responds  “That pale thing, her eyes. She was getting more turned on & it was looking more like it’s eyes.... her word is good, I saw that much”

--- End quote ---

What do you guys think Lara & Ramírez are talking about?

peregrine:
Ramirez saw her inner demon and having seen that, he now knows enough not to let himself get seduced by her.

isoycrazy:
I think Carlos saw a woman who wears a pretty mask but is a monster beneath.

Lara saw a man of inner strength and fortitude who is able to resist her power.

kbrizzle:
@peregrine & isoycrazy
I mean Ramírez knew that before the soulgaze (hence be pulled a knife on her pre-Soulgaze), after the soulgaze he seems to be telling her that his guard is not up to dissuade her.

Kindler:
I took it to mean that he soulgazed her specifically to see her Demon. It's the mental equivalent to taking a cold shower. Kinda like what Harry did when Maeve tried to seduce him in Summer Knight. Remember how Harry was never enticed by Bianca again after he saw the real Red Court Vamp behind her fleshmask? It was like that, I think. So the soulgaze was to shut off that line of thinking in his own head.
