How long did Thomas know?

I mean he told his brother Justine was pregnant. Why would any brother see that as a clue?

I mean he also told him "It's Justine" but that wasn't enough for Harry either.

Are you talking about the garbled language that Harry couldn't understand (and neither could the reader) until Harry finally realized what Thomas was attempting to say? lol. I don't see that as bone headed, he literally couldn't make out what Thomas was saying.

I mean I remember guessing exactly that when I read it, as well as seeing several threads at the time that correctly predicted what was going on, so it can't have been that indecipherable.
Second Aristh:
Thomas can't have known for long. I kinda doubt he knew during their beach run tbh.
With enough warning time, he'd have gone to Harry (either directly or indirectly; see WN), who has a direct line to Mab and has been known to wall off Nemesis before. Whether or not a mortal can withstand the treatment is another matter.
Even taking the likely argument that Thomas doesn't know about Nemesis and its place is the cosmos and Justine is possessed by an all-seeing demon, time would have allowed him to come up with a better plan than to just try to jump Etri and hope for the best.
I think another interesting question along these lines would be why Nemesis would have given Thomas the mission then at all. It drives a hard wedge between the White Court and the svartalves, causing tension in the peace talks, but that's almost immediately put aside when Ethniu puts her foot down... literally. What was the goal with revealing Justine's possession to Thomas then? To tie up Harry's time? To what end? For new divides in the Accords?
