Yes, Mouse might be a bit shy..   Also be careful with scions with other dogs.  Now I have no problem with mixes, however some combos are not good and can even be dangerous.  Wolf/dog
mixes for example, they are beautiful to be sure, there are exception of course, but many of the wolf hybrids tend to have an aggressive temperament.

But a foo dog/Werewolf mix would be very interesting 

I think the question is whether Harry splurges on nice stuff or if he falls back into what's familiar and furnishes the castle via Goodwill [/list]

It must be representative especially if he wants to build a power base. Really he needs a big hall to feast with his private army, the survivors deserve that. He should ask Freydis to furnish that one.

There is a certain truth in this assertion, though I think in the case of Murphy, Mab's influence does not change anything truly important. Murphy is too stubborn and has too  much experience with psychic assault to be truly effected by Mab's prompting. Even if Mab isn't there Murphy would do the same and she might even die faster in the war if her pain or some irrelevant fear distracted her during the battle. In Murphy's case, Mab's influence has all the positive effect without the negatives. At least I think so.

I am really upset when Murphy died. I mean, I stop reading the book for about 2 minutes just to calm myself down. Her death was quite a shock at the time.

Ultimately though her presence there is nescesary. Harry would have died at least twice if Murphy and the reinforcement she brings does not arrive in time. And without Harry Chicago would have been lost.

The price is heavy but I must say she died well.

What Gard said.

Those are quite basic human emotions and emotions are the expression of magic and life. I expect them to return everywhere.

Mab is older.

There was, and apparently Uriel carries a little more weight, because Mab was forced to go along with the lesson he wanted to teach.  As she pointed out, if it went wrong, Harry would have gone all dead and she would have lost her Knight.

Because Uriel must have had some claim on Murphy too and Vadderung got her. There is a recent woj about that kind of situation which says that Vadderung sometimes negotiates for people he needs and that they wake up rather surprised in walhalla.

I imagine Uriel and Vadderung had lunch and they talked about it and Uriel being Uriel made it dependent on Murphy’s choice. Maybe a similar deal was made with Mab. That thing with the doors was suspicious.

As Uriel explains, Harry' free will was taken away by Lashiel. Her whisper shoved Harry over the edge and Uriel was allowed 7 words of his own. The reason of Ghost Story was for Harry to understand what happened and decide if he actually was a suicide and stay in Uriel's service or wasn't a suicide and see what's next.

That was Uriel and Harry. There must have been some understanding between Uriel and Mab as well.
