vultur:
Looking at it again, I'm even less sure that Mab is actually saying she can't marry (in general), as opposed to can't marry Lara.
As with most Fae things, precise wording is likely important.

Lara certainly doesn't want it.

Oh absolutely there would be no expectation of fidelity for either Winter or White Court. It's more a matter of, I thought Harry's oath to Mab was "absolute" enough that it might be incompatible with later marriage vows unless they were written specifically to deal with that.

--- Quote from: Rigil Kent on September 30, 2020, 10:32:00 PM ---I'm not sure if that's entirely correct. Mab told her that Lara had the Queen's permission to court her Knight and Molly was P.O.ed at Lara throughout PT & BG, so it seems to me that she is quite aware of what is required to tie the White Court to Winter. And she's never hidden the fact that she does find Harry not entirely hideous...

Oh she wants Harry,
But not in a monogamous marriage forced by a ceremony. She wants to feed and if Harry does not boink someone she can not even touch him.
So the monogamous clause must go.

Oh I am sure that Harry is still married to Mab in some way but I do not think that this will in any way stop another marriage.

I don't care if Harry marries Lara. There are plenty of loveless marriages. A child on the other hand would create a vampire. And there is no way that Harry could be sure he could be there when the time came.
Note to Jim, think of peasants torches and pitchforks. >:(

Inari Raith asks if she doesn't count. :P
