Is Eb the Bad Guy?

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on August 10, 2020, 07:40:12 AM ---Harry with his Wizards senses was able to ascertain that Justine was pregnant separate to being told Thomas. Any practitioner with sufficient sensitivity would have been able to determine this, including any Wizards surveilling the White Court.

They may needed to have been in close proximity, so it's not necessarily true that they would have detected it.
--- Quote from: Logistics515 on August 10, 2020, 12:30:40 PM ---Well, Harry sensed something. He interprets it as being a pregnancy aura, but he really doesn't have a whole lot of experience in the matter. Certainly nothing like this was described with Charity back in Grave Peril.

Why mention the obviously pregnant lady has the aura of a pregnant lady?

--- Quote --- don’t know about the US but here those tests are cheap and available everywhere without prescription. It is the first thing you do when you are young, have regular sex and a couple of weeks over due.

Even if your partner is pretty sure he is sterile and you, yourself are carefully using birth control? Okay, Thomas could be using a condom, but the long and the short is according to Thomas they were taking measures.. So, no, two weeks late I must be pregnant isn't usually the first thing that should have popped into Justine's head, and I am well aware that the tests are easy to acquire. Unless, she was lying to Thomas and she wasn't using protection or she does have a lover on the side and that is how she turned up pregnant. Now the latter would really be tragic if Thomas was motivated to make the assassination attempt in an effort to get her protected from the embyro Hunger demon, and in reality, there is no demon because Thomas isn't the father.

Depends how regular Justines cycle usually is and how alert she is. but for about 5 euros you can get two tests. It is cheap, it is easy and fast and you can stop asking yourself what is going on and make evidence based decisions. Some people will start thinking about it after a week, others will put their head in the sand for months but I can totally believe that after two weeks Justine bought one and used it.
And maybe there are other signs that Thomas can detect.

That could be, I'm just saying from the way Thomas described things to Harry, pregnancy was remote, male White Court Vamp, sperm count very low to none, partner on birth control, rushing to get a pregnancy test before checking other things? I'm just saying. So perfect storm of maybe because of his mother, Thomas' sperm count is higher than he thought, and Justine's birth control totally failed. What are the odds? Yeah, I know, but still..
So pregnancy puts Justine in danger, which freaks out Thomas to the point where he'd try to assassinate his lover's brother, which sets off a big mess. This screams set up, beginning with Justine getting pregnant in the first place when she shouldn't have been able to, ending with her rushing out to get tested.
