We've been over this a hundred times, and that had nothing to do with her being "bull headed" or not listening to reason.
No? But saying the Sword shouldn't be used, then hiding it and using for the reasons she said it
shouldn't be used sort of qualifies.... Doing because she loves Harry sort of makes it okay, but shows bad judgement... So what makes you think that this time around with everything on the
line like is sounds like it's going to, she is just going to say home and nurse her wounds? Especially if Harry is in grave danger, which sounds like he is going to be, if she can, she will be at his side...
But for the record, I said that she was one of three possible to die that would affect Harry in terms of
grief.. Michael would be a forth, but we know from the story he didn't die.. The only reason he hasn't gone completely off the rails like he did after Susan was half turned and left, is little Maggie. Yes, the thousands hurt and dead that he feels personally responsible for in typical Harry fashion accounts for some of it, but the break down of weeping says someone close died... Very close, that puts Murphy on the list, unless you no longer think she is close to Harry? Eb is on that list, Thomas is on that list, that is the first tier, the vision/flashback of blood on asphalt relates to one of these loved ones in my opinion verses a general slaughter.. Though is sounds like there was a lot of that.
That is quite unfair. Harry did not give advice for obvious reasons and Karen is no dummy, she had at least some idea why Harry was keeping secrets and she followed his example. She had to sort it out in her own
But she didn't, she went against her own advice... Apples and oranges as far as the keeping secrets example goes.. Harry's main excuse and it has proved to be a poor one is he wants to spare his friends... Not exactly clear why Murphy thought hiding the Sword would spare anyone.. She proclaimed she wasn't a Knight beyond that one night, had no interest in being a Knight, claimed
bringing it on that mission would put it in danger... Hiding it didn't change any of those facts... Kind
of like a dieter sneaking food or a alcoholic drinking secretly, it doesn't change the fact that food was eaten or there had been a fall from the wagon.....
The excuse for bringing the Sword has been Murphy's emotional feelings for Harry... So I ask you this, do you really think she'll stay home if she believes she can help Harry even if she isn't a hundred percent? But set that aside, say she is a hundred percent, if she goes out to face the danger, she could be killed, the same goes for Thomas or Eb... Any of those three would leave a
hell of a hole in Harry's heart..
