Harry's a senior military commander for a supernatural nationstate at war.
Aint nobody got time for that.
Also, not a world-body.
The WoD term is Horizon Realm.
Say what you will about her parents, but they do seem to be genuinely affectionate towards each other, and she has living step-siblings. They are a family, living in a family house, behind a family's threshold.
Rosie's got much better passive defenses if she was living behind their threshold as opposed to living alone.
We just need to invest the effort to convince them that she can make a go of keeping her kid(s) with our financial and moral support, instead of her trying to do the single parent thing at 18 with no support besides her stepdad.
I mean, this was 2006.
Pre-Obamacare, and its requirements that a child can stay on their family insurance until 26.
Just the healthcare bills for giving birth to an uncomplicated pregnancy are going to be in the five figure range.
Fair.
Part of my research suggests you cant maintain a high tech civilization with less than a hundred million people anyway.
Yes.
The White God is not an algorithm, his rules are not predicated on interpretations of the letter of the law like the Unseelie Accords, and the continuing on-screen experience of the Denarians and Luci's Hell suggest that you cannot One Weird Trick him; everytime they think they've found an exploitable loophole and go for it, they eat a penalty.
COMMENTARY
- Molly manages to keep a poker face. Not bad.
And dramatic exit too.
-Makes sense. Its not that Mab cant cure Nfection, because we know she can; its that it takes a very long time, can be quite painful, and may require consent if the victim is powerful enough. If you assume that Mab feels dutybound to pay fair market value when she calls on the Infernal Exalt's seevices, she'd only call in Molly where speed and clarity are essential.
So she'd do it for Lea, her second in command. She'd do it for Maeve, her daughter and heir-apparent.
But Eldest Rawhead? The other guy? Arent as important or time sensitive to Winter's function, and they have deputies. She'd probably prefer them cured, but doesnt need to hurry it. She can just dump them in ice to cure them the long way, or simply have them euthanised and their deputies/heirs take their place.
Besides, I think Eldest Rawhead may be part of Maeve's retinue. We certainly see a rawhead in her retinue in Cold Days.
So if someone is going to try and get him healed faster, its probably her.
-Yeah, Molly needs to build Clippy a new phone with better tech.
Or to buy Cyberdevils 3.
Maybe both.
-Huh. The jawas got to see actual magic.
-Lydia confirms that there isnt a hope of hiding what happened tonight.
If Occult 1 Lydia Rhi could feel what we were doing from behind her wards despite the lack of any specialized equipment, then its safe to assume any of the actual seriousface organizations have been staring at their sensors and oracles all evening.
So even aside from Winter Court gossip, people are gonna know. And there will be Winter Court gossip.
Lololol.
Charity Legendary Carpenter gets rolled by Lydia? I never thought I'd see the day
*looks at interception roll*
Huh. Something tried to pick a fight with us, but we blew past it like Road Runner vs Wil E Coyote. So naagloshii, or lesser skinwalkers? Because an attempted interception requires that said person be able to keep up with a woman flying faster than a WW2 fighter plane and with the maneuverability of a hummingbird, and those are the two threats that come to mind.
Nemesis is a secret.
Outsiders, certainly not. Dresden talks about them fairly freely with other wizards in Dead Beat, when they were used openly in attacks on the White Council. He talks about them in Proven Guilty, when Michael saves a bunch of wizards and wizard trainees from Outsider and Rampire attack. He talks about them with Thomas and Murphy in Cold Days.
And frankly, with Nemesis and its agents going out of their way to target Molly and the Carpenter family when they were civilians, Charity has need to know.
There's no reason to hide the details of this from her. Might give her nightmares, but she lives with the knowledge of the Denarians.
She'll cope.
