Mab and Lara
Arjan:
It was to repay a favour. That was why Harry could bring Murphy with him. Because NIC brought his Spawn with him when he earned that favor.
And Mab was pissed because she was working on her alliance with Marcone and Harry was probably going to endanger that. He was the elephant walking in the percelain shop of diplomacy. He did threaten to fight Marcone if he did not take the weregeld

*That isn't the point, the point is Mab claimed it was to repay a favor, but what she really was doing was aiding Marcone to set up Nic for pay back and revenge, years in the making. She only told Harry it was to repay a favor and he had to stand by the bargain.

She did that too. Mab was balancing all her scales but she told Harry that in the elevator. She told Harry exactly what was expected from him. She did not tell him just to help Nic, she had other expectations from him. She was pretty clear about that too. When Harry told her about the setup her answer was more like duh, of course. Why do you tell me that.
Harry and Molly were pissed of because of Mab stopping his messengers and derailing Molly.

Her expectations don't count, she lied, she said she was repaying a debt and wanted Harry to help her do that. After he did that, for him to be himself.. Nothing said about it being a set up for revenge, so a lie..

That is literary true. She has to balance that scale. Literally. It is important for Mab to fullfill that debt. It is an important part of Harry's task.

As if Harry did not understand what that meant between him and Nick . But there is a lot more in that discussion and it ends with:
--- Quote ---“If you want to live, if you want your friends and family to live, I expect you to do more than survive it,” Mab said, sweeping out. “I expect you to skin them alive.”
--- End quote ---
So no doubt about what Mab wants from Harry.

Mab is not expected to tell Harry all her motivations especially not when Anduriel is in earshot but her motives are hardly a secret. Harry had all the information to do what he had to do. The rest is operational security. Just like Harry could not tell all to everyone.
