Small Favor Reread: Who Has Thorned Namshiel?

<< < (4/6) > >>

g33k:
... or maybe Saluriel didn't WANT to go back to Cassius?

Kindler:
Would YOU want to go back to him? He was already all old and used up. And he was a jerk.

There's also a question of whether or not you can even summon a Coin you've taken up and set aside. Michael seems to think there's a qualitative difference between touching one and never using it, and using it and repenting. I think it makes a bit of sense, because Sanya doesn't summon Magog's Coin to trap, right?

Regenbogen:
I always thought, Sanya didn't summon the coin because of the temptation.
And I think the Fallen trapped in the coin has a say in if it wants to be summoned. And who it wants to connect to.
And I think the Church may have means to prevent a coin from being summoned. Maybe throw it in holy water or something like that.
The coin can be stolen though. or the protection taken away temporarily. Or it doesn't last so long so that it has to be renewed from time to time and the coin could be summoned in a state of weakened protection.
All just speculation.

KurtinStGeorge:
None of the above.  (This isn't an original idea, others have posted this same thought years ago.)  Mr. Hendricks was in the helicopter firing the minigun with Gard flying and Luccio on the winch.  Marcone's bodyguard could have easily touched the coin; assuming it rolled out of Michel's bag and landed on the floor, without meaning to do so in the dark helicopter cabin.  I doubt Gard would have turned on any internal lighting until after they were out of range of groundfire.   

Someone once posted the reason Marcone was out of the country in Ghost Story was he had taken Mr. Hendricks to the Vatican for an exorcism or something similar.  That one seemed a bit far fetched to me.

Does anyone think that no matter who picked up Thorned Namshiel's coin, Nicodemus has it now and that was the coin he was offering to Goodman Grey near the end of Skin Game?  (Because, that's my guess.)

Arjan:
Mab has it. Combine what Sanya tells us in small favor with what happened in Ghost Story and it seems obvious.
