What Role was Molly being prepared for?
Snark Knight:
--- Quote from: Bad Alias on September 16, 2019, 05:34:22 PM ---What Mab wanted when the Mantle was missing and therefore there was an imbalance isn't evidence that Winter killing a Summer Knight would have serious repercussions for Mab.

Fix said in CD that Winter Knights are the most common cause of death for Summer Knights. When you get right down to it, the Sidhe might not be as open about regarding Knights as disposable dixie cups as the Fallen are, but mortals are still basically mayflies to them. I think what Mab was really worried about Winter being blamed for was stealing the mantle - that's an act of war.

Yes, and Harry did ask her what her problem was since he really doubted that she'd be charged..
Her answer was vague about ancient forms of justice and punishment, but she left no doubt that there was.

The murder or the theft? If it's the murder, my question is "says who?" If it's the theft, my response is "that's my point." Fix has been pretty blase about getting into situations where he might have to murder Harry ever since Small Favor. I don't think one Knight killing another is considered a big deal.

I think what Mab was really worried about was that Weird Shit was happening over on Summer-side, where she had little insight/power.
I think she intuit'ed that something was broken Over There, and that the situation was destabilizing. Mab, being so much the active force of Winter, might be unable to avoid pressing a Summer weakness. But Mab, being a long-plan sort, a high-level strategist, and the war-leader at the Outer Gates, can probably realize that a substantive imbalance / instability between Summer and Winter might be (with a high probability, in fact) some Outsider plot... over there in Summer, where Mab is largely helpless.

Mab says it was murder, a mantle has gone missing and the fingers are pointed at her... The balance of power is in danger so there are consequences...
