--- Quote ---I think @BadAlias has it correct; faeries seem to play by different rules when it comes to mortal children.  Bob's remark tells us that simple theft (kidnapping) can give sufficient "right" to the child.  As the only blood relative available, I think Harry is absolutely the one with rights under Faerie Law to conduct any such negotiations.

  Which Harry attempted at Mac's place with Etri.  The problem was, though Harry claimed that Thomas was under the influence of an Outsider, the evidence that Etri had was that he did the deed on his own.  Etri was willing to show some mercy, but needed proof.  Harry couldn't get that proof because he couldn't find Justine, Lara tried to get that proof, but with all of her contacts couldn't find Justine.  Time was running out, Harry's only recourse was to go to Mab.  It worked out playing by the old rules, not by human law, the mercy was Thomas had to give up the child to pay for the life he chose to take.
