It goes up! Wonder what Green's problem is. Maybe thinking that it'll be Surma all over again? Or the dangers of having a Court student being the Forest medium. |

It goes up! Wonder what Green's problem is. Maybe, she's originally from the Court, and has a history with Parley's or Andrew's families. Or, maybe she's flammable. Annie: "Yeah, the flammable ones should talk to me from afar. He knows what I'm talking about. Dry-Leaves, you crazy guy, you!" |

I'm starting to wonder...
A few chapters ago we saw that it's Anthony's desire to imprison or restrain the elemental side of Antimony, which is fine for him, having watched the same thing kill his wife.
What if Coyote's intent or end goal is to manipulate Antimony or the fire elemental side until Antimony forgets or willingly gives up being human?

I think that Tom was saying that Annie was showing off, not that she was a show-off. (e.g. "Light yourself on fire" from Fire Spike.") That is, his comment is imperative, rather than declarative. (the meaning of the phrase obviously isn't actually imperative, but I think that its grammar can be interpreted as such.) If that makes any sense. |

My impression thus far has been that it's something more personal ("I don't wanna be here wasting my time, I should be addressing my own issues"), but now I'm starting to suspect it might be related to the Court / Forest conflict. Maybe she was a friend of The Coloured Moons, before the Test, and therefore harbors negative / sad feelings towards the all things Court? |

Are Firesprites part of the forest community? (let alone think of all those flammable trees) Or are we just thinking that everything non-court belongs to the forest?

Also, Annie is always hilariously adorable when showing off. Like it's her true calling.  It goes up! Wonder what Green's problem is. It seems Green has been worried for this whole storyline. "I didn't really want to come, but --" what? I get the feeling we'll find out within a week. Maybe her jackalope wanted to visit, but didn't know how to get there, so Green had to join and point the way? |

Annie? A medium? If she says so..... but after that little demonstration I'd think she's probably just charred on the outside and still cool in the middle. If it's still talking, it's definitely rare.

Your new Medium can sympathise, little one! In other news: pan shot of Smith & Parley looking at Carver Flambe and going 'WHOAH!*' *Carver's smiling 'cos it's not her who's scorching. |

Back in the crash course chapter, several of the monster/nightmare guys were chattering about fire elementals and having seen them before and Ysengrin said that they were lucky there wasn't another creature present that could control fire. So, yes, fire elementals (and the rest of the elementals) are around. |

Since Annie can create fire etherically, there's no reason she couldn't create a separate Annie-shaped flame that is basically an avatar. (It's not too hard to see her doing this; she'd just need to combine her abilities to project herself etherically with her flame abilities and her ether-to-physical-manipulation abilities.) Imagine the uses this could have! Rapid communication, a quick assist in a firefight (sorry, couldn't resist), self high-fives, the possibilities are endless! |

Made me think of: this comic very frequently depicts acts of hubris which are, in time, punished. This does not just apply to Annie, of course. There was Anthony Carver's hubris in thinking that he could break the cycle of death by saving Surma. There was Reynard, who thought that he could use powers beyond his abilities to win Surma's heart. Most conspicuously of all, there is the court itself. Maybe not this chapter, but things are going pear-shaped very soon now. Not the first time Tom made such a remark about Annie. Although I'm perfectly happy with an endless string of successes for miss Carver, that's not going to happen. I'm starting to wonder... A few chapters ago we saw that it's Anthony's desire to imprison or restrain the elemental side of Antimony, which is fine for him, having watched the same thing kill his wife. What if Coyote's intent or end goal is to manipulate Antimony or the fire elemental side until Antimony forgets or willingly gives up being human? I like this, but as Coyote is completely selfish: What's in it for him? |

I like this, but as Coyote is completely selfish: What's in it for him? Renard returns to the forest because of Annie. I don't think that the Coyote has any discernible endgame. Having a goal implies that he knows what's going to happen, and precience is boring. He's just stirring things up to see what the unpredictable humans are going to come up with, or that's at least the most consistent way his antics makes any sense. |

No endgame, I agree. But no goal? Not so! There was a time when he was interested in stealing Renard back ...
He abandoned his plans when he realized his love for Annie kept him in the Court.
Abandoned? or changed?
After seeing Renard interpose himself between Annie and the attacking Ysengrin, Coyote only paused to stop Ys and apologize, then immediately invited Annie, specifically and secretly, into the Forest.
Plan B in action? Quite possible!

Nothing new under the sun... |

Man I love fire-based characters. Annie? A medium? If she says so..... but after that little demonstration I'd think she's probably just charred on the outside and still cool in the middle. If it's still talking, it's definitely rare. Medium? I'm sorry I think you mean "a little pink." |
