Now we begin to see how brilliant Coyote is. Tom has said he isn't that smart. --------------- Also, rather creepy set of edits from /co/...

Ah, maybe I'm just overanalyzing then. It appears that Coyote has subtly cultivated Annie's attitude on a number of occasions. If he knew as much as Reynard did about her mother (he may even have known something about Jean, perhaps through her lover--hard to say what all he could have figured out from this encounter), then he may have suspected that at some point, the manure would strike the coolant mechanism. And once that happened, really, there was only one place she was going to go.

Never confuse smart with clever!

Well, Coyote was definitely meddling when he showed Annie the 3 Ysengrins. His motive is as yet unknown, but it certainly *looks* like a brilliant ploy to get them to be friends.

Not enough information to make a call on this arc. Will wait for another two comics before making any sort of calls.

Man, every time I look at this page, the more I like it. It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow, though. If they really have become friends, I find that cute, what with Annie being fire and Ysengrin = wood. Also, that creepy edit of Annie is almost kind of cute too. Like she's been cheered up.

This is just a shot in the dark here, but I think one of the reasons that there's a kind of implicit empathy in this scene is that there's something going on beyond the physical realm we're shown on the page.
A few pages back when Annie was running through the court, a lot of objects were blurring and her hair was starting to do that sweepy etheric thing like when she uses the blinker stone.
We're constantly reminded that she's a kind of in-between person (as a medium), and I think that this can also be taken literally that her current emotional distress and anger towards the 'Court' side is pushing her more over towards the etheric 'Forest' side.
That said, what Ys sees when he looks at her is probably a more stronger projection of her usual etheric form, and expressed in that form in some abstract way is a manifestation of Annie's desire to get away from the Court.
...or it could be that Ys is just good at reading faces and none of that stuff matters.

I have noticed Tom doing the unnatural elongation of Annie's hair before, when she has been running. She hadn't even learned how to use her blinker stone in that way yet. I really think all of that abstract stuff going on is just an artistic representation of all the emotions Annie is going through. I don't really think there's a need to pull plot from artistic representation.
I think Ysengrin is A. Doing what Coyote would want him to do in this situation B. Warming up to Annie since last time's meeting
