Well, adoptions are pretty painless, right?  |

Damn it Coyote! Tell us what she is. Gah! I am angered!

Coyote's wording plus the "When?" comment makes it look like there's no doubt that she'll have a child at some point.

I thought we would find out why. Tom, you better reveal why by Wednesday, or we will break out torches and pitchforks. Still, interesting to know it's passed to Annie. This adds more fuel to the phoenix theory (pardon the pun).

Which angers me. |

It looks as if Annie's family condition is NOT another gift from Coyote. The Phoenix bloodline hypothesis appears pretty legit right now. (or something very similar)

Tom's just playing with us now.
EDIT: I find it interesting that Jones isn't intervening. She doesn't seem to have reacted at all. (Neither has Ysengrin, but I assumed he was just listening)

Which is also why this comic also supports the theory, as the titbit also suggests this is somewhat hereditary. Although looking back, it a) doesn't confirm it, and b) this cycle might of started with Surma. Edit: Just had a horrible thought. Etheric sciences work on the principle that events happen just because they do right? What if Tom goes along with that principle, and decides never to state why Surma and Annie are like this? |

Horrible thought 2: You know how Antimony occasionally narrates the events we're seeing from some point in the future? Where is she while she's doing this?

[Edit: Just had a horrible thought. Etheric sciences work on the principle that events happen just because they do right? What if Tom goes along with that principle, and decides never to state why Surma and Annie are like this? Meh. I think it's more that etheric sciences never explain how, they could give a "why" though. |

Wow, Yin lasted 5 whole seconds. I'm typing this from a fetal position on the floor. Horrible thought 2: You know how Antimony occasionally narrates the events we're seeing from some point in the future? Where is she while she's doing this? On her deathbed, telling her daughter? That's going to be the very last strip, isn't it? |

Horrible thought 2: You know how Antimony occasionally narrates the events we're seeing from some point in the future? Where is she while she's doing this? I don't which thought is worst. That we may never know why this is happening or by the end of the comic, we will see the foregone conclusion and see a beloved character pass on. Horrible thought 3: Annie will probably resist this. But what if part of this gift forces Annie to mate with someone (to continue the bloodline?). What if it was forced on Surma? |

Hmm. When she has a child.  Is this why Reynardine is so perpetually worried about whether Annie has her eye on a young man yet? |

Bah, sanity is for the weak. Here have a beauqet of waffles and tse tse flies. I know your quoting warhammer 40k, but I would like to say that I feel that someone who can accept reality for what it is, is stronger than someone who deludes themselves that everything is the way they want it to be. Which leads me into thinking how Annie is going to react to this. joephlommin Whoops, my mistake. |

I don't know why, but this made me wonder if, should Annie try to put off having a child for as long as possible, she might be effectively immortal. |

I know this is going to sound awful, but what if Renard is testing the waters to skate his own claim. He failed with Surma, but now Annie is here. That is not what I was implying. |

Not saying you were. Sorry if you saw it that way. This is just where my train of thought lead me when I saw your post. I already feel awful for thinking that way, but it is still possible, although not very likely, considering Renard's love for Annie is more parental than anything else. |

I'd like to think Reys love for Annie is more of a fatherly one. So far he's been more supportive and protective of Annie then her real father anyway :l Not Horrible but kinda Humorous thought 1: This might be the closest thing Annie gets to the "birds and the bees" talk. |

That would be incredibly wrong for Rey on some many levels. He already knows that Surma's gift is passed from mother-to-child at the cost of the mother, and the he goes around to "claim" Annie? Not to mention how creepy the whole "use the child of an old love interest as a replacement love interest" is in principle. |

Which leads me into thinking how Annie is going to react to this. Sometimes accepting reality equals the loss of sanity. When you spend a whole life with a lie the realisation that you did can crush you. And even if not you'll never be able to return to your "normal" life. |
