The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Anyone catch "It" in Battle Ground?
groinkick:
When you listen to Eb or Dresden talk about Black Court vampires they refer to them as "things" or "it", and not as a person. Well when the BCV's had Dresden, one of the twins said "lets feed it to my sister", when talking about Harry. Mavra refused saying that Harry's kind isn't for them but for Drakul.
It's odd that he referred to Harry as "It". Is this how they think of all humans, or is it because Harry is a Starborn? Reminds me of when Harry first met Kincaid and Kincaid told Harry he was as much human as Harry was.

It may be "it" as in an animal - some of the WCV refer to humans as kine.
Kincaid may have been lying... or... didn't Nic, I think it was, talk about wizards as not human. They protect the humans but they are not really one of them? Also a remark about in a hundred years all his human friends will be dead, and he will just be getting to his prime? Maybe Kincaid sees wizards as mutations and not quite human?

I agree, humans as prey or as a food source, when we eat fish or meat we normally don't give
a second thought as to whether or not it came from a male or female creature. A fish filet, or a steak, or a chop is an "it," not female or male.

True but remember that it was also said "his kind aren't for us", referring to Starborn. Something has to be different about Dresden.

Maybe starborns aren't "its"? Harry gets a little more respect because he is one.. Apparently his body essence is too rich for an ordinary Black Court vamp.
