Chapter 6 Drop
knightedbishop:
Mab was referring to the favor Harry received from the Summer Court that he then used to get Eldest Gruff to fetch him a donut. That stopped Gruff from having to give Harry a beat down. Harry got away with his life.
I think Harry of the present would likely be crafter and not have been in that situation to begin with. He basically squandered the full value of the favor. Clearly Lara is getting full bang for her buck.
Mab always has a plan. Well, Mab has a three dozen plans going on at any one time. She is fond of Harry on some level. Whatever purpose she had for Harry is not fulfilled. She does not intend to throw him away. But she also has no use for him if he can’t fend for himself.
When Mab first brought Harry to Arctis Tor she subjected him to rigorous physical training. I think these jobs she’s giving him serve multiple purposes. They fulfill an immediate need Mab has. They increase Harry’s stature. They also serve to train Harry’s mind just as she trained his body.
I want to know who the heck set the svartalves’s embassy on fire. Anyone powerful enough to pull the trigger knew the can of whoop *** they were opening. And if it was to get at Maggie? Well...yeah. Sucks to be them.

I'm glad that Harry still has the Munstermobile. He's gotta have a silly car, and you just know that his flamed hearse is going to get comments at the peace talks.
On protection against Lara, it's hard to tell. Do you have to go all the way in sex in order to have True Love protection? The protection comes from intertwining your soul with the soul of your true love, right? And that definitely happens in sex, but also can happen to a lesser degree.
Back in another book (small favor?), Bob mentions that a hug between Harry and Murphy caused a little bit of soul swapping. Maybe protection against the whampires isn't an on/off thing, but a spectrum of how much soul swapping happened and how recently.
Walter the skull:
Ok so let's think of the favors Lara could've done. One thing that comes to my mind is helping to defend Demon Reach. If that's the favor, then Winter owes Marcone a favor too since his forces helped defend it too.
I think one of the favors might have been Thomas assassinate some one.
In chapter 6 Harry talks about the amount of influence Lara is gaining in the government. In Jury Duty, we meet Tania Raith, a low level DA, who could exert influence over DA's higher up in the food chain. Mab may want to use the mortal authorities and Murphy as leverage over Harry. Perhaps Lara helped Mab get that influence.
Another thing that i found interesting was this:
"“New colors,” she said, her voice velvety smooth and calm. “The shield used to be blue. What changed?”
“He made an alliance with a powerful guardian entity,” said the second monster, a woman seated beside the first. She was as lean as a rod of rebar, but colder and harder, and her opalescent green eyes were too big to be strictly human. Silver‑white hair fell to her shoulders, today in a fine silken sheet. Her voice sounded calm and precise, and she wore a glacier blue dress that belonged on a runway. “It does not interfere with his duties.”"
That exchange between Lara and Mab makes me wonder how Harry's relationship with demon reach has changed him, and to what degree Harry can use power from Demon Reach when he isn't on the island.
Mab also implied that Lara would like how Harry tasted and remind her that Harry was a member of her court. When Harry and Mab had sex to seal the deal for winter knight she said that Harry was hers. I also think Bob may have mention something about Harry kind of being married to Mab. I wonder if Mab protects Harry from being eaten by a wampire.

I don't know what else he has to be smug about.

My money is on Thomas.
I hope at some point Harry reminds Lara what happened to the last person Harry fulfilled a favor to the Winter Court for. Thinking about how faeries work, Harry was lucky to get rid of the favor from the Summer Court without getting more entangled or destroyed in the process. Morgan didn't survive by cashing his favor in. Harry did. Who used it more wisely?
