Mab and Eb - Battle Ground
« on: October 22, 2021, 04:52:29 PM »
I was re-reading Battle Ground again and something leapt out at me.  In Chapter 6, right before they get dive-bombed by one of the flying squids, Mab nodded to Ebenezar and said, "Br---"

Spoiler free area but welcome.

Mab is much older than Eb, she rode with the Conqueror, William of 1066 and all that. Eb is well over 300 years old, but it is considered at least a millennia in their ages.

This is a theory trotted out before and will be again, at which point you get to point it out to them.

I think "Bring" as in bring something to me or bring your troops foreword or any other tactical command is more likely.

Probably dry retching, all things considered.

He sealed the deal with Mab upon becoming Winter Knight, so dry retching is the least of it.

Is it still considered incest if one is that many generations removed? ???

Harry would consider it so. He has always fought to be close to his family, but not that close.

Besides if I were Mab I would be worried, having sex with Harry obviously means she is destined to die, not a curse, but worse, narrative imperative.

not really, but I don't think they are related.
Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

Something like this:
(1 / (2^n)) * 100% Incest

Where n is the number of generations between Mab and Harry  :)

I thought Mab was too much the romantic, not too much the creep :p

Far more fitting if Harry is descended from an earlier child of one of Mab's lovers.
