Ysengrin seems a bit taken aback by this revelation.
So, will Rey act as a voice of reason and defuse the situation? Will he just redirect Y's rage onto himself? And if it comes out that Annie is "harboring" him, will Y get even angrier at Annie?

Ha, I note he transformed into something a bit more majestic for his appearance to his "fool" cousin. I wonder what the Donlans and Eglamore will think of that?

Gweeeee! As if Ysengrin isn't agitated enough already. The drama level in this chapter almost gets Shakespearean. (that's probably very bad English, but y'all get the point I hope)

Oooh!
How much like the wolf in the chapter cover does Ysengrin look like in panel 6? The blindfold in the chapter title page could be metaphorical, as in Ysengrin is blind. Which wouldn't surprise me.
Also: how sleek does Rey look? I love him in his wolfie form.

So now we know why Annie hasn't been holding that plush Reynardine. (And it'd be just like him to want to appear at the meeting as a majestic white wolf, rather than a child's toy. Can't say that I blame him; he has far more presence that way.)
It'll be interesting to see how things go in the council after this. Will they finally manage to calm Ysengrin down, or will he continue to be angry at the school (or redirect his anger at Annie, now that he knows she was the one who meddled with the Tic-Toc Bird)? We'll have to wait until next week to find out, though.

Heh. The best thing about this page is the look on the headmaster's face. So smug. Also I somewhat expected this thread to be titled "It's that guy.". I'm not sure if Reynardine should've come out from there. The shadowman possessing Robot was sent to kill him after all... I half expect Ysengrin and Coyote to be content with just offing Reynardine right here, right now and get out of there before anyone can react.

The headmaster is really starting to bug me. It's almost like if he wants to get out of there as fast as he can because he thinks he's got more important things to do...but at the same, the whole situation seems to be amusing him quite much, which is why he hangs around.

Well, he's probably got a summer holiday booked, like Parley

Haha, I wonder what a guy that creepy looking does for vacation? He doesn't look like he gets a lot of sun...
Also, we don't know that Coyote and Ysengrin wanted Rey dead. Maybe now they'll just try to get him back (of course, he won't be able to do much for them, since he's still under Annie's direct control)

Rey might just have been a bonus target of opportunity for the evil shadow rather than his main target.

Reynardine's arrival on the scene could wind up making things more awkward for Ysengrin's case. Part of his complaint was about the shadow-man's death back in Chapter Seven; however, if it becomes revealed that the shadow-man had possessed Robot for the purpose of attempting to assassinate Reynardine (something which Reynardine must have picked up on), that's going to weaken that portion of his charge against the school. (He'll almost certainly want to disassociate himself from the shadow-man's mission.)

But they'll ask, why Annie ran to the robot, which will lead to the question why she knows him and that it was her who sent him over to the forest. Ysengrin could therefore say, that he just sent him back. He might even say that the robot attacking reynardine and annie was some malfunction that he doesn't have anything to do with. (But I'm pretty sure Ysengrin isn't clever enough for that)

YAY REYNARDINE!!!!!!!! For some weird reason I get the feeling that in this situation having Rey show up is like adding a lit match to a huge barrel of gunpowder, it's all gonna go BOOM. I can't wait for the fur to fly.

Haha, I wonder what a guy that creepy looking does for vacation? I bet he puts on the shortest shorts he can find and walks around Dublin with a pair of binoculars and a camera. I think I've seen him there. I have this picture in my head of pretty wolf Reynardine literally running circles around Ysengrin. I don't see him being the spark that makes the powder keg go boom, though; if anything, he's probably the one guy who can back Ysengrin into a corner. Eglamore and Mrs. Donlan wanted him to attend the meeting, after all. I bet he's got some great dirt on his tree-man cousin, and I think he can be trusted not to say anything stupid.

Rey might just have been a bonus target of opportunity for the evil shadow rather than his main target. www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=118Judging by Robot's words, I'd say Reynardine was his primary target. Although, now that I look at it again, the shadowman's goal may not have been to kill him but rather just to capture him.

Looking again I'm inclined to agree with you, it does sound as if the shadow was meant to infiltrate the Court after Rey and was pleased to have an easier job of it

The Headmaster doesn't look like he goes outside a lot, a bit vampirish if you ask me

Now we know that Coyote is some sort of god, but he's clearly not the ONLY god existing in the GKC universe. I would assume a world like that would have some sort of pantheon, with no gods being all that omnipotent or even omniscient. No supreme beings, as it were.
With that established... Reynardine. He's got quite a load of supernatural power as far as I can tell.
Apparently so does Ysengrine.
But the question most important to me would be WHICH ONE IS REY'S COUSIN!? Reynardine doesn't strike me as being on a level one would refer to as godly, but he could be the child of a god and something less godly, while Coyote could be the child of two other gods. They could be cousins, and Coyote IS a fool in the literal sense (he's not dumb, just silly).
But Ysengrin makes more sense, because he looks more similar to Reynardine's "fluid" form, being a wolf, and it's easier to think of him as being on a similar level as Reynardine.

And if it comes out that Annie is "harboring" him, will Y get even angrier at Annie? Defuse the situation? 1) He's Reynardine 2) He hasn't even been in the room for five seconds and he's already called everyone jackasses 3) He's Reynardine!
