Like the way many say that Annie couldn't possibly know about Kat and Paz being together, despite her very direct and pointed remark about Kat's juvenile romantic history IN THE MIDST OF THE GIRL SHE'S DATING. Afford the main character of a story actual intelligence. Except that as recently as here we get an explicit message from Tom "Annie does not know yet." That could very well have been yesterday from their perspective. There is no reason to think she figured it out since the last time we saw her. I agree. Annie could easily not know and simply be ribbing Kat about Eggy because she feels like it. I would still be iffy if Tom hadn't said so himself. |

I bet Tom is never going to tell us whether Annie knows or not. Maybe he'll even go far enough to say she doesn't even after smething terribly obvious.

Almost certainly the latter. She has little reason to suspect what Coyote did, and her rigid backbone and calm demeanor have marked her since the beginning of the comic. Jones did mention that Coyote might be tampering with Ysengrin's mind. Those like you who blatantly write off Annie's ability to peer into the thicker plots make it more difficult to argue in favor of her natural intuitive and otherworldly empathetic responses to those around her. Like the way many say that Annie couldn't possibly know about Kat and Paz being together, despite her very direct and pointed remark about Kat's juvenile romantic history IN THE MIDST OF THE GIRL SHE'S DATING. Afford the main character of a story actual intelligence. I certainly don't mean to write off the character's intelligence, but she has so far expressed no thoughts that Coyote was behind the attack, instead expressing concern about his potential to attack her again. I'm sure she suspects Coyote to some degree (as she probably always does), but having an incredibly dangerous demigod attempt to murder you tends to focus one's mind, particularly when that same demigod is your welcoming committee. |

That would be amusing, but I would think that Kat would eventually tell her best friend that she was dating someone, since that would usually happen in reality. At least, I should hope it would; I've never been a young teenage girl. |

I can't speak for nepycros, but suspect that "actual intelligence" above includes ability to figure out what's going on without having someone else put all ingredients into one's mouth, close it manually and then wait a week. |

I would still be iffy if Tom hadn't said so himself. Tom's statement should be take in the context of Kat and Paz's hurried and self-conscious separation when Annie rejoins them. Annie does not know yet, to Kat's knowledge. Also, smart move by Annie to have Ys coming behind her; cutting off escape route back to the bridge. |

We should always take everything Tom says at face value. He's never misdirected us before!

Just thought the bit about "as she probably always does" is VERY accurate and funny. If something is messed up in the forest, the best option is to ALWAYS suspect Coyote. Everyone else is innocent until proven guilty; Coyote is guilty until proven innocent (just the way he likes it)! On the upside, Coyote is a) so weird and b) such a bad liar (he can't lie, actually), that if you ask him, he might actually just tell you! On another note, I also love the background art in this page! So pretty! |

One problem with a shape-shifting trickster god is that you're never really sure that you're not already talking to him. Now I'm just imagining Ysengrin and Annie having a big heartfelt conversation and then she turns to leave and we see Ysengrin has Coyote's eye. While Coyote's long-run plans (if he actually has any; though it seems likely, I'm still not really sure) may be dangerous/diabolical, I just don't think he has the control/seriousness/humility necessary to impersonate Ysengrin's personality for any length of time. He would be too impressed with himself, and would just have to show off. Still, that would be terrifying. |

]I did a search on the page for "roadrunner," but I didn't think you'd spell it like that. Whoopsies. I thought it would be funny if the Road Runner was another god-like archetype and not just a regular roadrunner. Ah, never mind. |
