If I'm remembering correctly, Mister was living with Karrin, so I'm not sure his non-appearance in the short story is too dire. At least, I hope not. ;)
But based in this latest drop, I'd say (click to show/hide)Eb's days are numbered, and by the end of Battle Ground at the latest, he'll be dead. I don't know whether or not Eb and Harry will have the chance to make up before it happens, but these are the kind of harsh words one regrets after a person passes... so I'm calling it now.

@CrusherJen:
I think you are right. Mister is with Karrin and also you don't bring your cat to celebrate Christmas in another home. A dog, yes, but not a cat.
And as much as I hope it will not happen, I think you are right with (click to show/hide) Eb dying somewhere in the next two books without having cleared the air. But he won't die before the peace talks, because in the trailer he was there. Maybe after or during.
Oh, I so hope they get to talk properly first, both of them apologizing and Eb explaining his actions in the past. But it would be more cruel towards Harry, if they didn't, so I fear that's what Jim did.

I think Eb was beginning to tell Harry something important -- not just the bare painful "fact" (from a certain point of view) that Harry himself is the focal point of all those deaths; but WHY those deaths happened at the focus of Harry.
I think Eb was trying to engage Harry's brain. Harry can be bull-headed and blind about a lot of things, but he also has a gift for figuring out the hidden, for uncovering connections.
Harry noticeably has NOT been asking a whole bunch of important questions -- like what is a "starborn" and why do a bunch of really powerful beings care so much about it... about him.
I think Eb was trying to kick Harry's brain -- more than butt -- into gear.
Arjan:
They both have blindspots. The problem is after Skin Game the secret is already out. The denarians know about it. She probably has talent too. The best thing Harry can do is raise her in such a way that she can defend herself.
The whole scene made me think about their communication in Changes when Harry went to Chichen Itza. They are not very good at listening to each other and talking things through.

Besides Mab may not protect them, Molly will probably protect Maggie. she wants to and there are several ways to justify it in Side terms.
