which two questions were answered? i'm assuming one was the cousin thing, but did the other involve the guy who snorted being the guy from here? |

OH MAN. That is the same style of hat. I thought the guy seemed familiar but I didn't make the connection.
I was referring to Headmaster McVampire's line to Ysengrim, "What the devil have you done to yourself?"

One was the cousin thing, another was "What the devil is up with the treewolf body?!"
I am amused, as always, by Reynard's quick tongue. Such a clever fox demon thing. Stil, a million questions yet to go! I do wonder if that hatted man is the hatted man of old. My first supposing was that it was Anthony, as his face is well hidden for suspense.

Could still be, but he'd just be a crappy father. Not that I particularly subscribe to that theory, pnderous. What I want to know is the question Tom is answering! |

Now we know who Reynardine's cousin is - and it fits, too. If Reynardine is an echo of Reynard the Fox, it makes sense that his cousin would be the one who's also a famous trickster of legend. (Though, since the name of Ysengrin echoes Isengrim the Wolf from the legends of Reynard, that would make sense as well if he'd been the cousin.)

I bet Renard and Ysengrin are related as well, just not cousins. Either way, they certainly have a past.

Hm. At first I thought Ysengrin would originally be human, but judging by Reynardine's comment "I'm more wolf than you are now" I'm guessing he was originally a wolf, and Coyote's gift was the ability to command and merge with trees. I'm guessing his head is the only part of his body that's still in it's original state. Reynardine and Ysengrin's past probably lies in Gillitie wood. Reynardine's supposed to be Coyote's cousin, so he probably lived there at first as well. I dunno, the hat's right but the speech bubble colour isn't. Yeah, they're both pure gray but today's hat guy's bubbles are a bit brighter. |

There's speculation in the comments that it could be Kat. Very Sam (and Hobbits in general) from LotR. But undeniably cute  |

That would make sense, but I don't think we've ever seen Kat grin like that.

Hm. I think it is Tree-Room-Man, actually. Especially since it seems he would know some about what's going on....he does tend to Ysengrim's spare arms, for example.
I would think he might be snortng at the "gardening power" line in an entirely different way than we are, though. Perhaps he himself is a master of garden and cherry-tree magic?

Pre-emptive fan-question answering! Woo!
Now, is our gardener laughing because Rey cracked a gardening joke, or because he knows Ysengrin's scary gardening is not to be underestimated?

Incidentally, the new revelation about Ysengrin's powers gives us another reason why it's not a good idea to enter Gillitie Wood. Think about how dangerous it would be, to walk through a forest whose trees are controlled by a guy that short-tempered and suspicious.

Good point!
Oh dear...I'm worried about Aly, now...where will he and his family nest? I doubt Ysengrim's Trees will let anything that came from Gunnerkrigg nest in THEIR branches....

Awesome! The guy from the tree room showed up!
Looks like the theory that he's Anthony is thrown out the window right now, but he seems like a cool guy anyway. Being a gardener and snorting at the gardening joke.
But I think this means I need a new avatar... I'll probably swap mystery gardener guy for random staff members. Or maybe bemused headmaster guy if we don't find out anything about him by the end of this scene. Or just update it with the less shadowy visage!

That raises the question who this guy actually is and if he's important.
He has access to the habitat, so he'll probably have observed the robots' arm that was planted there, which would explain, why he was invited to the meeting.

I got the impression that Antimony was not very close to her father and that even a slight change would have her not recognize Anthony's voice. And back in chapter 6 his face is all in shadow and she is looking into the sun, so ahe might not recognize the face. |

But Annie did feel the need to call dad the day after she met Reynardine, so I don't think she and Anthony can be that distant. |

Well besides the before-mentioned facts, it's also important to note that he doesn't look much like the photo of young Anthony, even if we can't see his hair yet. Also, that picture makes him look very stoic, or at the very least silent. While this garden guy is starting to give the impression of being a little less serious.
ALSO we need to take into consideration that he doesn't look like he's trying very hard to hide his presence at the court, and unless he's under some sort of magical disguise I'm sure at least some of the staff, especially the more prominent members, would recognize him. And as far as THEY are telling as, they have no idea where Anthony is and think he's very good at disappearing when he wants to.

yeah I think hatman is just a minor recurring character without a dramatic backstory "You dare take the form of a wolf?!" Actually it's "Is that the guy from Chapter 6?" WELL that makes more sense |

It does mean character tekst bubbles being a different colour (or at least a different brightness) doesn't necessarily means they're different characters. Considering the amount of colours that can be used it sort of limited, that would also mean characters having the same colour doesn't necessarily mean they're the same character either... I guess I'm over-analysing my own over-analysing here.  |

Just a thought: right after the garden-guy comes back in chapter six, why does Antimony feel the need to cry for her mom? Just thinkin'...

The more I learn about Reynardine, the more I'm happy that he's my favorite character.
Especially in his wolf form.

Annie is my favourite chatacter but I love both Sir Eglamore (squeee!) and Reynardine. Kat is my second favourite character, though, if I have to number them, because she is such a true best friend. |
