Well, the whole supernatural ecosystem seems to be heating up. In more normal times, "don't shit where your offspring may have to eat one day" was probably protection enough. But when it's five minutes to midnight as far as the immortals are concerned ...

We don't really know much about the structure of the White Court, but now we know that House Raith at least has territories. It may be that individuals in the Court have territories and it isn't limited to one house. I think that's likely, but we don't know that.

Apex predators. Territorial and possessive.

--- Quote from: Maz on May 06, 2020, 01:28:24 PM ---I think you're misreading that line.  She is referring to being in Lara's territory, not her Father's.  She isn't going to refer to her Father as "Count Barrrowill" or whatever.

Yeah... Sorry all.

Total brainfart on my part.

What I conflated was being close to WHOSE mother (Irwin's mother, who is a mortal), with being close to the White Queen...

Avernite:
It's also kind of in-the-face about how obvious Lara's takeover is by now, if even a non-vampire who wasn't involved in events knows it. Makes the Whites seem kind of wacky, that they don't just end the charade.

But well, that's apparently how they operate.

Bad Alias:
@Morris: Yeah, it totally makes sense with what we know of the White Court. The White Monarch is more of a feudal king than an absolute monarch. It stands to reason, but we didn't know that power was that distributed in the houses of the White Court. It leads me to believe that the White Court is much larger than the novels have so far made them out to be.

@Avernite: Well we do have to consider that Harry was repeatedly impressed with both River Shoulders' and Irwin's intelligence. It's implied that the Forest People have superhuman intelligence. Before someone dismisses the Forest People's intelligence because of the Genoskwa, I would note that the Genoskwa objects strongly to being considered one of the Forest People and behaves very differently. He may be a subspecies or just a mentally retarded by comparison member of the species.
