Wait, how do we know Evanna is a Svartelf? Did I miss something?
Sorry, I'm not sure how to do the spoiler tags just yet, so I'll try to be vague. Well, we do know that Thomas is a venatori, so maybe trouble caught up with him b/c of that. Harry would then find out in the worst way possible. Another reason why Evanna might be an even bigger antagonist that I suspected. I wonder if she'll become a main cast member to fill out any empty slot...
Hm, I would like Thomas to be a red-herring just b/c he's been under this kind of scrutiny before. Though if they do then he'll need to have genuinely done something 'bad' so that there really would need to be a kind of a legal snafu that has to be corrected.
I think my theory still stands, at least in the general sense, that Thomas has to get a new position of power to get out of the trouble he's in but that paradoxically, leaves him in more danger. Lara also ties into this. I think this might be where she takes a pretty big dent in her power structure, to the point where she could die. Going to war over Thomas could only be one reason for her power to get diminished.
Maybe Lara vs Marcone? Gosh, Harry would get caught in the middle and have to act to prevent them from causing too much collateral damage. If Hendricks is indeed the one who_____, then that would be reason for Marcone to be so determined/angry and letting Harry know this might be the only courtesy he can manage. This could also be where it's revealed that Thomas and Harry are brothers.
Marcone may be a smaller player than Lara, but he's got a lot to lose if he doesn't succeed/meet his goals here, so he could be more underhanded than usual. Gigglestomp's scene 5 take is pretty spot on in my mind.
With the getting dressed scene, this gives me an idea. B/c it's an establishing scene, I think, it might also be setting another character to be a 'Spanner in the Works' and this time, it isn't Harry.
I know that having the WK mantle means that Harry is more susceptible to Lara's mojo, but I think this could be a double edged sword, esp since he doesn't suffer intimidate drawbacks to drawing on the mantle in the same way that a Whamp has when they draw on their power. Lara is also used to being able to use Harry as a weapon w/o any ill consequences for her. She's also counting on Harry sticking to his bargain. But if Thomas is in danger that might not happen. I mean a combo of his natural pragmatism and being pushed hard enough might mean that Harry wouldn't give her any warning. As for trying to control him via offspring, he's already proven that's a bad idea. I think this time Lara's bitten off more than she can chew.
Gigglestomp's idea about scene 9 is pretty neat. I can see that being true. Maybe scene 8 happens right after that.
W/ regards to scene 11: Oooh, I hadn't thought of that. Now that's gonna be interesting an interesting conflict, I hope that's indeed what's going on.
I like the idea of Undertown being a set for conflict.
I know that Mab's accords are a big deal and by that score, the peace talks themselves, so everyone is trying to protect them, b/c really they do need to do this, but I do wonder if anyone feels the need or can even imagine that said Accords need to be improved upon. Maybe Harry could end up getting new allies under this way of thinking?
Hm, judging from the synopsis for Battle Ground, maybe the masquerade gets broken then. Since what's her face has those goals in mind, she wouldn't exactly be hiding, esp since she wouldn't feel the need to hide.
