Looks like the green forest dudes are also part of the stopped time. And it looks like stuff is crumbling in a potentially dangerous manner so maybe it's for the best. |

Annie is not playing around in this chapter. She's angry, not afraid. It's high time to go off on him!
Due to Tom's comment, I think the forest elves pictured in this page might be somebody we've previously met in Annie in the Forest - perhaps Sareed and Kamlen. (Also... the art... her eye... I'm drooling.)

I've also got the vibe that Annie is in no mood for Grote/Loupe's antics.
I don't think the elves are specifically anyone we've met before (unless Kamlen's plumped up a bit in the past two years?). It is probably their village, though.
... which looks to be have been caught in the middle of an earthquake!

Looks like chaos in the forest. What if this is Coyote's greater plan: to have Loup create such chaos that after a while the forest is stronger than before and then resurrect himself?

Annie: "This is terrible... I mean, it's not Boxbot terrible, but still. Come on, man!"

I get the feeling the reason Loup's control has weakened is due to some as of yet unmentioned McGuffin. Wracking my brain trying to figure out if something discussed previously is responsible hasn't turned up anything. This wouldn't be a bad time to introduce more world-building, I just hope it integrates well into the story.

The one good thing about all of this is that Loup seems willing to talk about the reason for the problem. Unless he then states, halfway through, that he'll only complete his explanation for his loss of control if Annie gives him her word that she'll remain in the Forest permanently (and making it clear, presumably, that he's the only source of the information Annie needs to solve the problem).

Ysengrin said "Coyote's grip on the forest loosened" and now Loup is saying "my control was loosened". Weird! Keeping track of all this funky Ysengrin/Coyote/Loup language-switching is giving me a headache.
Follow-up question: Is the loosening due to a third entity, or something Coyote planned? Will we find out on Wednesday or are we about to get a chapter break?!

I get the feeling the reason Loup's control has weakened is due to some as of yet unmentioned McGuffin. that it was because he (Loup) is part Ysengrin, and Ysengrin is too "regimented" and not chaotic enough? It's possible he's wrong/lying, of course, but we do have it as a theory to go on, at least. |

Annie: "This is terrible... I mean, it's not Boxbot terrible, but still. Come on, man!" That's the solution to all this: Loup backs off or the Court sends Boxbot to live with him.  |

That may be part of it, the other part could have something to do with the fact that Coyote is/was a bona fide god, including believers and all that. And of course Loup lacks Coyote's coolness. |

Speaking of MacGuffins: what Coyote is missing most prominently at the moment is his tooth, I think. (Edit: ha, I didn't realize that was mentioned in the previous post.) Maybe now is its chance to become key to the plot?
Perhaps the tooth is Coyote's failsafe to ensure Annie can cut him away from Ysengrin? I doubt Coyote will really stay dead. But I doubt Loup (who surely knows about the tooth) wants Annie to use it.

I think the remark about chaos as a force of the Forest's strength is important. Maybe Smitters with his uncanny talent for making things boring has brought too much order to the Forest when he became Court medium? If so, he is in danger, methinks!
