Lara Raith killed Malcolm Dresden

<< < (6/17) > >>

Arjan:
Just kill him and call the mortal authorities and disappear. Use a veil if you want to observe. Ebenezer would prefer Harry as an anonymous kid in the system and they were probably not even there especially if there was some distraction and Justin had some time to wait until one popped up.

It is not that complicated, actually it is pretty straightforward. The natural looking death was of course necessary to make everything go as smooth as possible.

The really interesting question is, "What will it take for Harry to start asking relevant questions, and to seek answers on his own if no one; who won't ask for his soul or something nearly as ruinous in return, will give him complete answers?"

Even in Battle Ground LTW held out against answering Harry's question about being Starborn.  Does anyone think Harry will be given a complete answer or any at all, in one year's time when LTW promised to get back to Harry?  I think some major event, or several, are going to push Harry to a point where not asking questions or getting straight answers will become impossible for him to tolerate.  I just wish we could get to it sooner rather than later.

Maybe because he might get answers he really isn't ready to deal with as of yet.  While Lara may not have done it, it is logical that Lord Raith may have.  Now she might reveal the whole thing on their wedding night... :o

11 years ago I discovered my roommate dead by an aneurism.  I can tell you from personnel experience in how I found my roommate that it looked like it could of been the result of a white court vampire attack.    I came home from playing board games with friends at 2 am in the morning.  the place was an old Victorian style house that had been a rooming house since it was built in the 1880s. the land lord lived downstairs and there were 3 rooms for rent upstairs, each room was almost its own apartment only there was no bathroom except for one shared bathroom for all three rooms. When I got home at 2 am I made ready for bed and went down the hall passing his room. When I passed is room the door was open and I glanced in. what I saw was him nude on the bed and he looked to be pleasuring himself. I Quickly looked away and thought oh my god he is a pervert he wanted me to catch him doing this. At the time I had only roomed with the person about 6 weeks and really did not know the guy will. I went took a shower and when I returned to my room I did not look in on purpose. next day I get up in the morning go to the bath room and the door is wide open and he is in the same position he was in from the night before. only now I realize that somethings wrong. I go into his room and feel his neck looking for a pulse his body is cold and dead.  on his face is a big smile.  I call 911 and wait for the police down stairs in my land lords living room.2 weeks later I find out that had died around noon time the previous day from a aneurism.  the guy had a smile on his face just like other white court victims in the Dresden files.  side note the police believe that he had taken a shower and was getting ready  when he realized something was wrong went back to his room sat down on bed naked picked up phone dropped the phone and died with his hands at his crotch.  years later I look at this and wonder was he actualy the victim of the white court feeding.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Snark Knight:
Lara might leave her victims with a smile on their face, but I really doubt it would be a quiet enough process that a kid in the same room would sleep through it.

Besides, Malcolm and Margaret probably had a genuine true love relationship based on the available information about how she changed. A devoted single father who was rarely in the same place for more than a few days probably didn't have much opportunity to move on in the dating scene after losing his wife, so that protection may very well still have been an obstacle to Lara.
