--- Quote from: Arjan on December 21, 2020, 09:26:01 AM ---It is all about duties and obligations. Mab never prevented Harry from meeting his obligations. She even made sure that Toot’s pizza was delivered  because those things are important.

Harry has obligations to the island just like he has obligations to Toot. Harry had obligations to the white council but they threw them away. I think Mab would call that stupid but she won’t complain.

--- End quote ---

Actually she did call it stupid and short sighted, and that they'd be wanting him back before it was all over.

Dina:
Yes, they did Mab a favor by freeing Harry of obligations to them and I expect payback will be a bitch  :).

TrueMonk:
I think that demonreach is a prison, not an armory. So while it is a really convenient place to stash weapons etc. keeping stuff on the island is not the focus of the wardens duty. As a result I do not think it would be against his warden duties to retrieve an object for Mab in general.

But then again with the eye of Balor specifically, that might count as something the island was built to contain.

Also I think it is important to differentiate between Harry's
1 ability to defy an order from Mab
2 Ability to deal with the consequences of defying
3 When he can fairly say no to an order/what orders Mab cannot give

I would say releasing specific prisoners from the islands would be no 3

Perhaps, but at the same time I don't think she can force him to get them for her if he doesn't want to.

--- End quote ---
He never paid her in full. She never moved the goal posts.


--- Quote from: Mira on December 19, 2020, 06:14:41 PM ---So since he did agree, you haven't heard her mention the favors that he owes her, do you?
--- End quote ---
Again, so? Why would she remind him? So that he can put her in a position where she has to make a request? To foreshadow to readers that Harry is going to get out of being the Knight and how?
