The Best Investment Harry Ever Made

[Bad Alias]

Debt is debt. Once it's been paid, it is gone. The promise of pizza is forever.

The debt of from being freed was paid in TC.

Pizza is always negotiated for every task that Za'Gard does, however the loyalty goes beyond that. That is what freaked out Christos and company.

Mab sums it up in Summer Knight page366

"It is unusual for a mortal to be able to Call any of the Faerie, even the lowest into service, but it has been done before.  Fear not for your little warriors."

Is Toot still growing?  How tall do you think he will get?  If Harry keeps using him as the general of the wee army, you think he will eventually get human size? 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

They knew Harry was good for the Pizza before he became Winter Knight, afterwards it’s an obligation enforced by Winter Law.

Toot is definitely growing someone needs to do a time-line of his growth, he is two and half feet tall now, he could stand on Lacuna’s shoulders and look Murphy in the eye. His growth is linked to his and Harry’s importance according to WOJ.

It strikes me that the Eye of Balor is powered by hate, although it was considered it could be powered by love as Mab says they are the same thing and not opposites, so could it be powered by the Little Folks love of Pizza? Would Pizza S’Press provide Harry with a HUGE battery for the Eye?

This may explain how large Toot will grow. Big enough to comfortably wield the Eye out of love of Pizza.

Of course if Harry owns Pizza S’Press he will probably be audited by the IRS, a whole new way for Jim to torture Harry. “about those diamonds, Mr Dresden”, “the amount of pizza consumed for personal use, is not exorbitant, it is physically impossible Mr Dresden”, “it is not permissible to pay your taxes with ‘Farie Gold’ Mr Dresden”. He would have to get Lacuna to qualify as an accountant, she would be good at it.

If Harry actually marries Lara, I think his business troubles will be over. She has people for that and would would see it handled properly just so he can at minimum make a good show. Or he could give Molly a second favor and have her people handle it.

Could end his relationship with Toot though, I believe Lara is the "Cold Eyed Lady," that imprisoned hundreds of his friends so they could have pretty colored lights.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Lara was pushing the boundaries with the Fae, offering a calculated insult to the Courts to get them to engage with her. It looks like it worked. Literally in Harry’s case.

As the spouse of the Winter Knight, I presume Lara’s styling in the Winter Court would be Lady Lara, or the Winter Knight’s Lady as Harry is technically Sir Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden now (In The BAT hopefully we see Chauncey use Harry’s name properly, only to fail as he omits the Sir). Never the Winter Lady (Molly would have a fit). The Cold Eyed Lady might just stick in the Winter Court. Typically she may herself be bound to some extent by Harry’s obligations and duties as Winter Knight, so she may have to apologise to the Little Folk, and make reparations. Werepizza.

Add enough pizza and she can have as many Faerie lights at her wedding as she wants. I would presume the Za Guard would provide an honour guard for the ‘happy’ couple in any event.

Is there that much werepizza to satisfy the damages done to Toot's pals?

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Toot and his pals would give it a damn good try!

He was bigger in this book than ever before. If not larger. His lieutenants were bigger than Toot used to be.

That is because their loyalty to Harry runs deeper than an extra large pepperoni and cheese.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

They insist on extra cheese.

It's for shadowing sure, something along the lines of Harry being 'the burger king', the Za Lord has been hanging around in the background for years. Been pretty much waiting on him to become the mantle of the snack king or some such since before I realized it threaded into the conservation of history theory and points at another connection between Harry and Odin/Kringle. Harry's even most well known for it in his wintery guise via the small folk who knows him as such.

  I think Harry needs to invest in a good pizza take out place... Yeah, he has to get a good manager to make it profitable, but it is an easy way to keep Za'Gard in fresh pizza, Toot made it clear that they do not like the frozen kind you get from the supermarket as well.. Heck they have put it on the line more than once for Za'Lord, it is the least he can do.

[The_Sibelis]

You know they'll just end up making it themselves... Elves making pizza..
