--- Quote from: Dina on November 22, 2020, 06:41:40 PM ---Mostly agree. Marcone and Harry know exactly what the other is, due to the soulgaze. Marcone also knows what Harry thinks of him because Harry tells him so every Tuesday. But I don't think Harry knows what Marcone thinks of him. That is why us readers don't really know what Marcone thinks of him.

Marcone might know Harry better than we do. Maybe even better than Harry knows himself. As Harry has repeatedly said, he's not big on introspection. I wouldn't be surprised if we knew Harry better than he knows himself.
Anyway, my initial point wasn't that Harry would ever properly use Marcone, just that he should have. He could have signed on with Marcone in Fool Moon. Harry didn't because he didn't want to be corrupted by Marcone, but what he failed to realize was his ability to corrupt Marcone and ability to basically not do what Marcone wanted him to. Most of what Marcone would have wanted Harry to do wouldn't have been covered by the contract he offered Harry.

Yeah, but that was pre-Lash, plus she was a she, so Harry didn't know he could possibly change Marcone back. All Harry knew from the soul gaze was Marcone was someone he didn't want to work for, why? Marcone didn't seem disturbed by what he saw in Harry, at all.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here or what Lash being a she has to do with it.
Dina:
*confesses* I was wondering the same.
