The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Where do you go out on a date with the Queen of the sex vampires?
KurtinStGeorge:
I assume Harry isn’t picking the locations for his dates with Lara. It appears that Molly will negotiate with the White Court; meaning with Lara, on where these dates will take place. I also assume these talks will include discussions about what Harry will wear in order to make the right impression. Harry probably won’t like that and my guess is he will probably hate it.
This might be a question best answered by someone who lives, has lived in or has visited Chicago frequently. If not, perhaps you have heard of some place in Chicago that you think would make a good dating location for Harry and Lara.
Aside from places mentioned in the Dresden Files; like the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum, the only place I know about in Chicago is Wrigley Field, but somehow I can’t see Harry taking Lara to a Cubs game. Peanuts, beer and hotdogs don’t seem to be Lara’s style, though I suppose I could be surprised. I believe the Chicago Bears still play at Soldier Field, but again, I don’t see Lara going in for a tailgate party.
It is also possible that Harry and Lara will have to make an appearance at some kind of party thrown by Winter, Summer or another player in the supernatural crowd, just as Eldest Gruff had to make an appearance at Harry’s birthday party at Arctis Tor. That could be a location for a date, but it isn’t as much fun speculating on something like that happening.
Does anyone wish to speculate on where one or more of these dates might take place?
vincentric:
While I anticipate that most of these dates will be to political and social soirees, a Cubs game should definitely be on the docket if Harry gets to choose any date sites. And there will definitely be one or two events involving Marcone as host or guest.
Lord Kinbote:
I assume that Mab will want Harry and Lara to present the alliance in many locations, and not just in Chicago. Traveling in the Nevernever won't an an issue, and Harry also has his mother's map of the Ways.
Mira:
I think Lara may have some demands of her own, like before the first date she may want to visit her brother in prison. I think there are going to be a lot more external political complications for any alliance or even for them to date.

Contemplating that, it suddenly struck me that Harry and Lara might have a genuine bonding moment by a spur-of-the-moment evasion of a planned event. They're supposed to be doing such-and-such at Boring Public Venue Whatever, and they're both bored and on some impulse duck out and go do something else...like maybe a Cubs game? Or pizza and a movie or something. Something ordinary and human.
I can imagine Harry's sudden horror as they return home and he realizes he just enjoyed an evening with Lara...and maybe a realization that he enjoyed an evening out with Anna Ashe's murderess...
Plus I suspect the Winter Lady would give them her best Death Glare...
