It depends what we are saying with "out of juice". Particularly I did not mean "she is starving" but "she has the munchies. She wants food right now".I don't think she was starving, but typically when someone is out of juice, they're exhausted and not capable of fighting/playing/continuing. Which strikes me as odd given her presumed power level as White Queen.
You might not want it to be the case, butSure sure, I'm not doubting that she said it, or even that she's being honest.
"It took her a moment to speak. Her voice came out furry and delicious. “I’m giving him the energy I took earlier. It’s . . . slowing down the damage his Hunger is inflicting. But it’s very bad. And I’m almost . . .” She licked her lips. The sight of it made me want to rip off my shirt and start boasting of my many manly deeds. “. . . empty.” She made the word sound like a sin. “I’ll need to feed if I’m to give him more.” "
Peace Talks page 319.
At least she's says herself that she is almost empty and I don't think she is lying.
Geez! Hope is a minor! (frankly, the moment about Harry commenting on her looks were very creepy, even when I love Harry)At what point do we start worrying about a 39/40 year old man mentally noting a 14/15 year old girl's "uncommonly generous" adolescence?
The confrontation starts with Marcone having to be talked into saving the kid, because by rights the kid belongs to the Fomor. He didn't seem too broken up about the prospect of giving Justine and the child back to the Fomor until Justine pours on the extra guilt.I think you're overestimating the line that he "debated" it. He was never really going to do it due to the circumstances of the situation, specifically due to the fact that she was there under the Accords. He had every reason to believe, by the end of their conversation, that Justine (and Lara) went to him intentionally. There was every reason to believe that Justine was setting him up and using him as a cat's paw for the Wamp mission. So he couldn't just kill her after claiming Accords protection if there was even a chance Lara knew she was going there.
And you're missing the point -- he didn't consider killing Justine as retaliation for her manipulation.
He considered killing Justine because she knew too much; not because she wronged him, but because murdering her might make murdering someone else easier.
Harry mentions Listen. Didn't Listen die in Bombshells?Nope, he was captured. Last we saw he was walking out with his hands tied behind his back. Probably turned back over to the Fomor for money or something.
Don't forget that Peace Talks is basically half a story.Honestly? We would have if it'd been split into two books.
You wouldn't stop half-way through Proven Guilty and gripe that Molly hasn't gotten enough screentime, would you?
I agree, it was far more important that we establish that Butter's is a Super Badass Harem Protagonist™ then have any scenes where Harry actually interacts with the various characters at the Peace Talks, that was central to the Narrative and could in no way be cut.Well there were a lot of theories about Marci, so keeping her presence in our awareness might be relevant. And if she suits up in BG, it might be relevant, if only because some of the other Alphas have been decreasing in presence due to kids and whatnot.
Not a rumor anymore.Yeah, see? Way too much baggage to drop suddenly as an aside. The only thing that would work would be her being angry with Harry and him not finding out why.
I seriously, strenuously doubt that Amorrachius is going to go to someone who just barely didn't shoot Justine and an innocent child in the head only because it would mean having to fight and kill Dresden immediately instead of down the road.I think you're exaggerating the circumstances in Even Hand. He didn't just barely not kill them. He had no intention of killing the child at all. If you remember anything about him, you should remember that kids are safe. As for Justine, she was a spy that cost him valuable resources and who's actions injured his people, to use him as a cat's paw. Is it really so outlandish for someone to consider such things against a potential enemy that abused his own sensitivities?
Seriously, I don't know how anyone can read Even Hand and entertain the possibility that Marcone is anywhere near material for a Knight of the Cross.
