What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]
Arjan:
--- Quote from: TrueMonk on August 06, 2020, 08:04:10 AM ---I was just thinking that Nic was a lot more likely to damage her knight that Lara, but he did not get a warning. Then again the situation was of course very different. I just think it is the first time she has ever warned anyone that she will be angry if they did something bad to Harry.

Lara is a fellow member of the accords and Mab and Lara are allied. Mab does not want Lara to betray her because that would create unwelcome complications and Lara does not want to betray Mab for obvious reasons. Nicodemus betraying Harry too early is no problem for Mab and might give Harry an opportunity to do something.

I think so. But I think part of the issue here is that Nic's favor was pre-specified (help steal the Holy Grail), whereas Lara got two unspecified favors. So without Mab doing this, Lara could have made one of her favors "let me control your mind/consume your life energy" and the Mantle would impede Harry fighting back, I think.
Dina:
Remember Mab did some caveats too. "Nothing you wouldn't ask me" and all that.

Yeah, exactly. Mab had to be a lot more careful in this case because the favors were open-ended.
TrueMonk:
That is a good point and makes good sense :-)
I love that she cast herself as the bears and Lara as Goldilocks in her threat :-D (I did not get when reading the book, only thinking it over afterwards)
