[830] She gave it to you

Ahaha) A. Carver is always A. Carver, even in forest)

P.S.: And who is a kno-gak?

ZOMG! Look at all the forest critters!!

Mmm, another plot of the Court, this time to ensnare Ysengrin?

He is enumerating Coyote's gifts to his loyals, so "kno-" is the beginning of "knots and branches."

G'morning Tom

I think the point of the ribbons is to show they're approaching a forest civilization.

Ribbons? Those are living beings. Look at panel 3.

Wow. When was the last time that happened?

I feel even more terrible for mentally wanting to follow the last panel with "You magnificent hunk of man!"

I didn't even notice the lines till the second time reading the page either. I was so distracted by the d'awwtasticness.

I never noticed how incredibly large Ysengrin is.

Also, remember before, when Annie tried to hug Ysengrin at the pond? He went all "SNAP SNAP ROAR."
I wonder how he reacts to this.

hah! so cute and awesome!

I guess all the confusion between Coyote and Jones made her almost forget how hurt she was over everything, and Ysengrin just reminded her of all that.

Poor thing.

interestingly enough, this sudden sympathy for ysengrin has put me on edge...it's terrible, but i'm expecting that next chapter we find out something like...he allowed jeanne's green-skinned boyfriend to go out and get killed for being a "traitor", i don't know. it's kind of like how everyone liked coyote, and then suddenly he turned into a giant arseface, and now at least 60% of us have 0.0 on our faces.

that, and remember what they called him? "general?" if anything, he's probably closer to a good military commander - doesn't like soft, soppy crap, but he knows how to make encourage his underlings and has an instinctual understanding of how people tick. he knows annie's young, and freaked out, and the best thing she could hear - the one thing that no one else told her, or had time to tell her - was that her mother loved her enough to give her life.

Contrary to my earlier post: Ysengrin is just a big old soppy:



Well, big old soppy for a warrior.

I'd mistaken that "pat" for just more motion lines.

(I'll acknowledge that he could also just be correcting her posture to go with his speech.)

And again, let me point out those "ribbons" aren't mere decoration. There's the one in frame 3 that looks like a humanoid icon with three...children, perhaps?

There's frame 7, lower left corner, a ribbon-entity with wing-like appendages. (Although these are similar to the crest on the individual in frame 3.)

Frame 7, again, upper right corner, where the three ribbon-entities don't appear to be anchored by their tails; instead they're floating freely around Ysengrin.
