Murphy (BG spoilers) (also some thoughts on the book overall)

--- Quote from: Mira on October 17, 2020, 03:35:26 AM ---That is an assumption, not a fact.. Actually she worked more with the Einherjar when she worked for Marcone, then she ever worked with Gard. So if you want foreshadowing, there it is.

That is foreshadowing but the whole discussion is not about foreshadowing, it is about connecting the dots, about what is said.
It is about a real offer that was made not about the foreshadowing of a future situation.

Well, since she was killed and now an Einherjar, she sparred with them and she was a warrior, that was the offer.. She isn't a Valkyrie.

That also was not the point of discussion. She could have become one if she had accepted Gard's offer to become a "consultant".

That she is an Einherjar now does not in any way, shape, or form mean she couldn't have become a Valkyrie before.
It's like you're arguing that because Harry ended up the Winter Knight, he couldn't possibly have become a Denarian and Lasciel wasn't offering to make him one. Ending up as one thing does not mean one couldn't have become another thing if they'd chosen differently.
Gard's offer was clear from the context of the series, our knowledge of Gard, and the scene. She was not offering to make her Einherjar there -- to be Einherjar, you have to die. Einherjar are also never referred to as "security consultants." The only characters referred to as such are Valkyries like Gard and Freydis. Gard's own words were offering Murphy the same job that Gard herself identifies as having, a job that is clearly code within the series for "Valkyrie."

Does it? No where in the job description for security for Marcone's organization does it include collecting dead warriors and taking them to Valhalla.. That is Gard's true day job..
