YESyes yes yes yes!After so long... There's the face we've been looking for! The page arrangement is a little odd, though...
I thought Renard teleported to the Forest and grew.

Damn Tom, I thought she was talking about Basil.
Also, yes, finally we have Annie back! Or at least something resembling her!
And now we see how much of a Chekov's gun Kat's instructions to defend yourself however necessary to Renard was...

Also, does this mean we will see more of PUPPY RENARD in future!?

So, given that Annie has (seemingly) finally come to her senses and somewhat snapped out of her funk... ...not to mention recognized that she abandoned Renard long ago, which always rankled me... I think some changes are in order. Given that I swore to wait until "our" Annie returned...  Hello boys, I'm baaaaack! |

I'm always glad Tom is here to clarify things for us. I can't imagine reading the story without the footnotes!
On a serious note, this should be interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing if Annie opts for an outright confrontation or defaults to her old mischievous approach to retrieve her plush-turned-pal.

... This is it. This is the only time I get to play this song and have it be even the slightest bit within context. Can't mess this up. Alright... *breathes in deeply* TONIGHT, THERE'S GONNA BE A JAILBREAK!--- Also, does she mean she's going to simply get Reynard under her control once more? Or are we talking actually freeing him and allowing him to take back his foxy body? Because the latter happening would be AWESOME. |

Yea Annie! Now that is a face full or resolve. The fire is back, she has a head full of clarity and the resolve to get the job gone. Go Annie, your friends have been just itching to help.

I guess Annie was ready to admit that she had already hurt the people around her. But actually getting Renard back is going to be tricky. Anthony and the Court both think she relinquished her ownership of Renard and neither will want that reestablished. Getting all fiery about it will only reinforce their judgement. Kat retaining ownership of Renard may be the compromise everyone is willing to live with.

Yes! There's the Annie we know! And she's ready to shake things up! It's high time Renard got his freedom back- and the Court learned that there are things you do NOT mess with.

It was high time she thought about getting Winsbury back. I don't even understand how it took so long. William's making quite an odd face in the last panel, by the way.

Kat retaining ownership of Renard may be the compromise everyone is willing to live with. Honestly, Kat retaining ownership is actually fairly protective for Renard, because if they don't know that she holds ownership of the doll, they cannot attempt to force her to give it up, or give more restrictive orders. As long as the Court doesn't know about Cat's symbol, why wouldn't they allow Renard be given back to Annie as long as the symbol doesn't change? Beyond them thinking that it would change the symbol of course. |

Eglamore is looking good here. I had no idea Annie valued his friendship so much. Very heartwarming.

She's thinking of him with her own symbol on his head, not Kat's. Was she so lost to herself during those first days that she doesn't quite remember what happened, or does she just expect Kat to hand her back the leash as though Kat was taking care of her dog while she was on vacation?

Good question. Really if they're all three truly friends they should talk together about what it would mean to fully release him without leaving him in bondage to anyone. But can they trust him? He's been alive for who knows how long, maybe eons. And until just a few short years ago he was willing to kill whoever he had to, including Annie, to get out of the Court. Or even just to get what he wanted. Has he really changed? |

She'll apologize first but yeah, probably. If you go back and review what she's said this chapter it suggests that, while things are better, her perspective could use some improvement. In addition to what I said before about her being inarticulate to a wolf, here she's using Ys' words to talk about what happened: "I was being selfish again" and "I let it get in the way of my job... and... almost hurt the people around me." Being selfish in specifically what way? She says she was so angry but doesn't add "at him." It's implied, at least, who she's angry at though not really why. Is she saying she was being selfish before by ignoring detentions and cheating or does she mean by being angry at her father, or in the way she acted after Ys broke her blinker stone? I am still guessing she hasn't really given herself permission to be mad at dad for the abandonment thing. |

Thought: if a rescue attempt happens without Kat, Surma's doll has the potential to count as stolen. Renard could end up free by accident.
