The White Court probably frown on abortion, their reproduction rate is tiny, so any child, especially from the main Raith line is precious.Lara obviously didn’t know. Thomas may have been asking for asylum for him, Justine and the baby to get out the White Courts clutches from Etri when the incident occurred, whether Eb, or Evanna or someone else turned it into an attack.
Swartalves are logical, but could this be as simple as a scorned lover, and poor timing “hello Evanna, I am bringing my girlfriend who is having my baby to live here under Asylum/Guest Right? Don’t worry it won’t affect our arrangement, I still need to feed” “Thomas, you are now under my influence, here’s a bomb, set it off near my brother and he will never give you Guest Right/Asylum, and he will likely have you killed as well, you swine.
Justine was nearly devoured once in her entirety by Thomas hunger, it took her years to recover, the baby’s hunger has to be a significant risk.
Just listening to the audiobook Eb ‘do you know what these hosts of yours are capable of” Eb is very prejudiced about the Swartalves. This is the conversation about Maggie.
Harry himself is full of being a full time father, so of course he assumes Thomas wants to be as well, projection.
