What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]

--- Quote from: Bad Alias on July 21, 2020, 06:41:45 PM ---Harry, who is almost always very straight with everyone he deals with, saved Thomas in a manner that gave him serious leverage over Lara. Sure he's outplayed her before, but it's always worked out to benefit her a great deal. This time it didn't. This time it was pretty one-sided in Harry's favor. And that was when he was working for her paying back very valuable favors. I'm pretty sure that would have been enough to have her off balance. With everything else mentioned by others, she was bound to let her emotions get the better of her.

It's almost like fairy favors are worse than when you're not being helped at all.

I don't see why Lara would have been out of juice. Sure, she was feeding Thomas for an hour, but she's the new equivalent of Lord Raith, who went twenty some years unable to top the tank off but could still use power when needed. Lara just had an orgy the night before and a snack at the Talks. She knows she's going to be in a fight later that night (assuming she heard about the Ethniu thing from Harry five minutes after he woke up on the boat.
So her giving all her power to Thomas seems off. Thomas being weak because he hasn't been feeding works. Lara being weak doesn't.
TrueMonk:
You might not want it to be the case, but
"It took her a moment to speak. Her voice came out furry and delicious. “I’m giving him the energy I took earlier. It’s . . . slowing down the damage his Hunger is inflicting. But it’s very bad. And I’m almost . . .” She licked her lips. The sight of it made me want to rip off my shirt and start boasting of my many manly deeds. “. . . empty.” She made the word sound like a sin. “I’ll need to feed if I’m to give him more.” "
Peace Talks page 319.
At least she's says herself that she is almost empty and I don't think she is lying.

Sure sure, I'm not doubting that she said it, or even that she's being honest.
But she shouldn't be, right? I mean, we have reason to believe that she's being around for a couple centuries. She's the head of the Wamps, and after years leading them, and feeding whenever and however she wants, she should be closer to Lord Raith's power levels than Thomas's.
But she's tapped after an hour of feeding Thomas after numerous meals within the day? She's been using her hunger to beat down Lord Raith's demon, to the point that he's apparently a puppy. And she's presumably been feeding him enough to keep him alive for the sake of the charade.
So to me she's either lying and is actually as powerful as she should be, or she's not and she's inexplicably weak.
Dina:
It depends what we are saying with "out of juice". Particularly I did not mean "she is starving" but "she has the munchies. She wants food right now".
