Peace Talks interesting things and questions

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on February 19, 2022, 05:13:43 PM ---Just re-Reading Peace Talks, page 19 states that the small wooden skull was prepared for her. Bob originally asked for it as a backup. However, many people have wondered how Bob didn’t spot Bonny growing. Perhaps the answer is he did, but didn’t tell Harry, (because he didn’t ask) but made sure Bonny had her own Sanctum when born.
This implies Bob put Bonny over Harry and was expecting Harry to die when Bonny was born, as happened on most such occasions. It also suggests that Harry has realised this. It may explain why Bob pleaded to Harry “don’t kill me” later in Battle Ground.

I don't seem to remember Bob ever "scanning" Harry, though he perhaps he sort of hints that he is able at the end of Small Favor when Harry is alarmed when Bob tells him he uses up some of his soul when he uses soul fire, then says a hug can restore it. But can one really scan for another's soul? Seeing Harry's soul as Bob meant it isn't the same as a soulgaze. So I don't think he could have seen Bonea even if he was looking for her.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I believe Bob scanned Harry after Lash was gone. He may merely have asked about Lash and not about any other anomalies.
At page 54 Harry states that he will look into Rudy’s Sponsor, both he and Murphy had assumed it was Marcone, but both at this point now doubt it. Is this something to be followed up in Next Book? My money was always on the Merlin, it’s his style to use proxies and Rudy too incompetent for Marcone.
At page 57 Mab is described as “lean as a rod of rebar” which foreshadows her impalement by the same.

Bob couldn't see the shadow, Harry told him of it. He scans Harry at the end of White Knight and and spots brain damage where he thinks Lash resided. He can't see the Fallen. Earlier in the books he sells a fairy tale about them being on the wrong frequency.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Bonnie isn’t of the Fallen, Bob should have been able to “see” her, she is a spirit of air born of the Winter Knight.

Bob may also have been mistaken, Harry said of him in Cold Days, that Bob knows a lot but he doesn't know everything. Since I doubt that not since Athena emerged from the scull of Zeus, this kind of thing has happened, Bob may not have known what he was looking at. Also at that point in time, White Knight, Bonea may have been too small for even Bob to see. Or Bob lied about it, it is possible that a deal was made with him to keep his mouth shut. Remember at the end of Ghost Story, neither Alfred or Mab would tell Harry what or who the parasite was that was circulating his blood while he was in a coma.
