Clearly, everything makes sense. Their logic is undeniable.
It's a secret.

It's a secret because it's a secret! Secrecy all around!
I guess they'd have less fun if it was all revealed?

Classic:
"Mihi a docto Doctore
Domandatur causam et rationem, quare
Opium facit dormire?
À quoi respondeo,
Quia est in eo
Virtus dormitiva.
Cujus est natura
Sensus assoupire."
Ah, let me translate:
So, our dear friend Annie
asks what it is that
makes our relationship a secret
To which we answer
that the reason lies in
its clandestine nature
that obliges
to maintain secrecy.

Oh good, I do hope we will finally learn WHY it has always been so important to keep this a secret from the headmaster now. Whether it is a decent reason or if it is jsut kids being kids...
Who knows, maybe this will be a nicer story of Annie bringing these two out in the open happily rather than pretending to go out with William just to keep the secret.

Classic: "Mihi a docto Doctore [...]" Nobody expected Molière here!  But You might've hit the spot. It is getting melodramatically theatrical... Guess Annie will have to be the clever maid, who unravels the whole plot. |

How old are these kids, again? "It's a secret" is enough of a reason at a certain age. I recently brought up a girlfriend I had when I was about 15/16 as an example in conversation with my parents, and they had no idea who I was talking about. I am 28. I forgot that I kept that relationship totally secret from them. She lived next door to me, we went out for at least half a year, and they absolutely would not have cared in the slightest, but it was important to me at the time, for unfathomable reasons?? They told me "You had an age where everything about you had to be a big mystery." These guys are probably at that age, too.

Oh, silly Annie, isn't it obvious?   That's a secret, dear! Oh good, I do hope we will finally learn WHY it has always been so important to keep this a secret from the headmaster now. Whether it is a decent reason or if it is jsut kids being kids... Or there may be a good reason, but they don't know it. Or... Who knows, maybe this will be a nicer story of Annie bringing these two out in the open happily rather than pretending to go out with William just to keep the secret. Or Annie may respond to all subsequent queries on this subject by giving the questioner a look, then trying to say something, but immediately collapsing in helpless mirth. |

They're not telling Annie how it really happened...  Winsbury wasn't really concerned about being hurt by Kat, but the last time Kat's fist had a date with his face he was punished for hurting her hand. |

Because the Headmaster has other plans for his daughter than for her to join up with what used to be a forest animal, a female animal to boot that now lives in an artificially created body? The kids may not care but you can bet her dad does. |

The kids may not care but you can bet her dad does. If Winsbury came directly from the Forest he would be in Foley. But his parent(s) could have been in Foley and he inherited the hair. If true, then Jonathan may be an even bigger jerk for not wanting his daughter to associate with anyone with Forest heritage. |

Yes I too hope this isn't all based on some kind of absurd tautological joke. I think I would swiftly and legitimately dislike this chapter. |

Actually, in the Court secrecy may be an important trait, like learning to drive. It wouldn't surprise me, if some Gunners practice and committed subterfuge out of habit.
I'm leaning toward the Headmaster and that hair, but the silly misadventures of youth could simply cover it.

It's part of the whole adolescent process of forming an independent identity, separate from being "child of ______" - in this case, having things that they don't know about (or at least you can pretend they don't). |

These pages are much more confusing than they have any right to be because of Janet and William having the same speech bubble (non-)color.
I mean they're basically finishing each other's sentences anyway, but it still takes a couple reads to figure out who said what.

It's part of the whole adolescent process of forming an independent identity, separate from being "child of ______" - in this case, having things that they don't know about (or at least you can pretend they don't). Amaranthae turned her head to look at the old mage, white to the lips. “Do you elders know everything?” “Enough to keep ourselves entertained,” the Srinshee said dryly, and Uldreiyn Starym nodded. “ ’Tis a common mistake of the young and vigorous,” he calmly told the tabletop, “to believe their elders have forgotten to see, or think, or remember things—when what we’ve really forgotten to do is scare younglings into respecting us, thoroughly and often.”  |

Annie seems unusually chill about all of this. I wonder if she's just holding it in the same way that she did before Mort was passed on to the Ether, only to break down later...
