I'm going to go with the fact she's lying. Yes there is a possibility that she did get permission but I doubt it. In this comic, Annie just mentions she has homework to do. It almost seems like an excuse, or an "oh by the way I've got things to do." There is no indication that Kat actually knew Annie had homework to do and only mentions that she'll drop by later to do something with her, presumably, when she's done. In that comic she never asked Kat for any permission to copy her work and it doesn't look like there was some hint-hint-nudge-nudge to Kat to indicate she was going to do that. Also "She said I could" is a pretty common excuse for a cheater, and there really isn't much a stuffed animal can do anyway. No one else is around, why would she hide the book from anyone?

Anybody else read this and said to themselves "She's becoming a rebelious teenager. Whatever happen to that sweet, sensible lilttle girl?" I bet Renard is feeling that way too. It makes the same bitter sweet feeling like every Father-Daughter story where the father suddently stops seeing the daughter as sweet smiling four year olds, and for the adult/teenager they've become. /sigh....

The dorms houses a few people at a time. Even with most people gone, there'd be a chance someone would see her coming out of Kat's room with a blue book in her hand.
If I were her, I'd have put the book in my book bag until safely in her room, but I'm a much more experienced sneak.

Yeah, so all of this discussion concerning whether she's actually cheating or not could be nipped in the bud by looking at Tom's FormSpring.
I don't know why people can't just take things at face-value in this comic. It looks like she's cheating, so she's very likely cheating.

My bf insists that Annie's making some of the same faces Spider!Jack made, and that she must have caught a case of the facespiders.
. . . I personally hope not, and that Annie will get a "What the Hell, Hero?" moment from Kat later, since Reynardine's doesn't seem to be working.

Does anyone actually think it's in-character for Kat, KAT of all people, to let Annie copy her homework? Come on.
I can see her offering to go over it with Annie. I can see her trying to get Annie a tutor or have her parents help her. I cannot imagine Kat simply allowing Annie to copy her work.
Besides which, Annie's been show to lie at once in this arc alone and put on false smiles for her friends and acquaintances. I really don't see how there can be any doubt she's lying.

I'm actually sort of bummed that wasn't my 100th post. Edit: This post is now suitably cool.

Anybody else read this and said to themselves "She's becoming a rebelious teenager. Whatever happen to that sweet, sensible lilttle girl?" No. She's just demanding some privacy. Her homework is none of Reynardine's, aka demon who tried to kill her, business.

It strikes me that a lot of 'teen rebelliousness' is due to a growing awareness of privacy and self-determination, at a time when they're not really allowed to fully exercise either.

wellll... as usual 1) he's right, and 2) there probably wasn't any possible worse way to say it. ;-p Maybe there was, but still, rubbing against the fur so hard twice in one phrase is something... I hope Annie gets some stroppiness. She's far too mature most of the time, she needs a bit of mad. Called it. P.S.(little crazy idea): Maybe Rey IS her father? So Anthony don't like her? Next person suggests this gets smacked with a herring: how many times does Tom have to say this ain't so? Because everything is clownier with mounty python! In favor of lying: Tom's statement at the bottom of the comic; ...smacked with a red herring perhaps. Or a large, flesh-colored squirrel. Yiiiiiiiikes, I wonder if the next strip will be an all-out screaming match. :/ I almost expect Annie to burst in nearly inarticulated fury, blasting plaster off the walls on top of her lungs for ten minutes. After which Rey can say only "Aww! So fiery. Just like my dear Surma was." And this pushes her in such a rage she loses speech and barely can breathe. and Annie totally deserved that shot. But given the emotional ammo she just acquired, I'm sure she's gonna use it...to everyone's regret... How much she really "acquired" which neither of them already knew? Awesome update. Annie calls him Renard, now fully aware of the origins of his newer name. Excellent. Yea. To be expected. And that last panel - I think that's the closest to this that she's ever looked. Zimmy was a bad influence... or maybe good one? In this one, Annie is interrupted before she can finish saying Rey's name... today, she used " Renard" to show she was angry. Or just avoids "Reynardine", now that she knows it?.. Oh, in panel three is the snapping stick that Eglamore gave her, I love little details like that It's going to break when Annie and Rey will completely ruin the room and then they'll face Eglamore and lie their butts off together. Happy ending! ;D Okay, in the bonus page then. "The Best Understatement Of The Thread" award goes to: I imagine the Fire Spike being a primarily etheric power, something that would give her the power to face down Jeanne without getting killed. Of course, before she has mastered it, Renard might be in some danger. "The Most Hilarious Phrase Of The Thread" award goes to: I don't know why people can't just take things at face-value in this comic. No idea, either...
