New Anon thinks applying "nice" to Kincaid regardless of whether Ivy's in the picture or not is a stretch and that 'asshole' is a good general descriptor for him at the best of times, but is also always disappointed to see such causal misogyny.

Although, author!anon, the implications of Summer holding such sway over Kincaid is an interesting one!

I didn't really mean to show Summer as having sway over Kincaid as doing their own bit of directing. I see Kincaid, since he is a mercenary, as being open to advice, jobs, etc. from both courts. As such, he's also used by both courts, and he's well aware of that.

So at the moment, he doesn't know why the Erlking wanted him to find Harry, he's just rolling with it. Had it been Mab, he still would have gone to check the situation out (at least in my mind).


As for the misogyny... I'm going to assume that you're referring to Kincaid's dismissal of Elaine instead of Justin, since we're talking about Kincaid here. Kincaid's misogyny is a bit different, because I see him as dismissing her because she's already becoming a power-hungry wizard like Justin (and so many others he's seen) and not just because she's a girl. So it's not really misogyny as such on his part.

Justin, on the other hand... is a scary misogynist pig.

Don't worry- it came off exactly as you meant it to, and your reading of Kincaid's character fits with canon. Not your fault people expect characters to be treated with special deference based on gender alone, and blame the author for *not* succumbing to gender bias!
Very well written outsider POV!
