But in that case I guess he more or less openly defied them just now?

Not really. He just told them what he was going to do but they have no authority over him now. It is when they tell him what to do and he says no.

Griffyn612:
They think they have authority over him because they think they have authority over all human practitioners. So they might very well try to act tough at some point, but there's no-one left to come be a big hammer, other than sending a Senior Council member. Not unless Luccio is regaining some ground.

Mira:


Oh there will be another crisis, the foundation was set down at the Accords meeting at the end of Battle Ground.  First thing Harry noticed was there were no White Council members in attendance.
Question, did they boycott the meeting for some reason?  Or were they excluded for some reason?
Either way at some point or another that is going to come to a head, and Harry will be in the middle of it.  It might be at the BAT that it happens or another crisis but at some point Harry will have to wake them up and shake them up to what is happening in their world.

Re: Harry and the Feds/Librarians...

Worth remembering that Lara has been working hard to insinuate herself into the federal government. Back in Changes, she was able to whistle up a helicopter from an aircraft carrier to evacuate the wounded from Chichen Itza. (Which means the Feds have a report somewhere about Molly and Mouse...)

The next time Harry sits down for a chat with the feds, it won't be as a two-bit P.I. terror suspect whose office was just blown up. He'll be the fiancé of an influence peddler with hooks in senators and governors and cabinet officials.

Of course, that comes with all kinds of costs. Some honest feds like Tilly may be far more suspicious of him because of that. And the White Court comes with a new level of social infighting and manipulation on levels that aren't really Harry's strong suit.

(See the Dresdenfiles RPG, with its three modes of combat -- physical, mental, and social. The last is Harry's weak spot. He's at an insane Superb(+5) for Conviction, used for mental conflict, what he'd describe as will or willpower, but an awful Average(+1) for Presence, used for social conflict.)

His next big power-up is going to have to be learning to manage his reputation and relationships better. Heck, Peace Talks/Battle Ground *should* have taught him that. Now Mab's throwing him in the deep end of the White Court where he'll either learn or die.

That sounds like an excellent reason to play the engagement close to his vest, and not lean on any of Lara's contacts for any discussions with the feds.

For the time being, all he's obliged to do is appear with her at unspecified supernatural social events and conferences.
