I'm rereading White Night and I'm wondering about Elaine more and more. Remember all the thinking that Elaine might be Kumori? I keep thinking about the mental whammy DuMorne played at with Elaine and any number of other things and think we certainly haven't seen the last of Elaine. I also wonder if she could be of the thinking that black magic isn't necessarily used for bad things like Kumori saving the man's life using necromancy. I haven't put my finger on it, but there's something prickling at the back of my brain. Maybe she's black council? She's anti white council based on her discussion with Harry about going before the WC. It's thin, but possible.
Anyway--Hope all are well.
