Will Harry Have to Come Clean?

If the politics are handled properly, the svartalves might owe a debt for that -- the transfer and rescue have spared them the dishonor of having Thomas die in their custody waiting for trial.
Regardless of where Thomas is, I expect the svartalves will want an emissary appointed and a hearing held to rule on the attack. That's the point at which it would be really helpful if Harry could present them with the actual culprit and evidence of what happened.

Meanwhile everyone has to brace for an attack that could wipe everything out.. Then even if successful, it is going to be very messy, so lots of clean up. There is bound to be casualties among the leadership of the Accord members, so me thinks Thomas is going to be in that cell for a book or two, if he gets out at all.
ClintACK:
Possible. Unless the culprit is revealed during Battle Ground, Harry's not going to be in a hurry to resolve that plot before he has a way to heal Thomas.
Of course, I still think the obvious cure for Thomas is a female Forest Person. (See: the Bigfoot on Campus short story...)
Conspiracy Theorist:
I find it very strange that the Swartalves beat Thomas so badly, they made it impossible for an Emissary or anyone else to question him, and effectively dealt a death sentence before the Emissary could judge him. The Swartalves are stickers for the rules, and their conduct appears to abrogate them.
This pushes me towards the Evanna theory, she wanted Thomas to abuse guest right and suffer death by Etri. This would require her to be Nemfected and upset with Thomas e.g . Seeking Asylum for Justine with the Swartalves. The way to infect a Swartalf something of Beauty, perhaps the headband.
Convenient that the GateKeeper isn’t present,

Makes me wonder if Carlos staying a virgin isn't going to be relative to a powerful somehow actually...

I do think virginity has mystical weight in a lot of fantasy type stories. We've seen it's important to wamps and the Ladies. It may come up in some other meaningful way in some story.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Carlos becoming the Summer Lady is the last thing he needs, but it would be hilarious.
I think there will be a grail quest and Carlos will be central to it his virginity a virtue rather than a source of endless fun.
The story is the Grendel story.
