I choose to believe that rather than just being a comic representation, Coyote made a copy of himself just to yell these things at Annie from two sides at once.

At the bottom of the page Coyote has gone all black and only has eyes in his eye sockets. He's in a very dark mood.

Making Coyote wait would piss him off further, and unnecessarily so from the point of view of the Court achieving its own ends. Andrew already knew he was angry about this so it's easy to predict he'd want to see her. Coyote and the Court are already at polar opposite positions on if Antimony is Coyote's medium or not, no need to give him an additional tweak. There is no "would", it already happened. It doesn't look like the Court is all that concerned about Coyote's moods. Maybe they even wanted to piss him off. In previous meetings as well, Llanwellyn was rude and sarcastic with Coyote and Ysengrin. They don't see Coyote as a god, just an invoenient being with too much power. They are cautious around him in some respects, they know he's dangerous, but they were never behaving like weak humans cowering before their impending doom. Agree on how the Court sees Coyote; I said "would" because I'm not 100% sure things went down the way I interpret Coyote's story but it sure looks like the Court was 100% sure Antimony was done with this forest business. If so, is reasonable to conclude that the Court first tried to tell Coyote that no he couldn't see Antimony anymore.

The Court is terrified.

Both Antimony and Anthony have done things to, as they saw it, protect the other which have actually hurt the other badly or will. Anthony abandoned Antimony because in his unwarranted guilt he thought his presence would hurt her. Instead his absence hurt her badly. Antimony has cut herself in two to protect her father from her justified anger. But when he realizes what she has done he will be hurt more than her anger would have. I can see this ending when Anthony begs her to stop hurting herself this way.

The Court is terrified. Formspring suggests if those were anti-Coyote wards they wouldn't stop him. Possibly some people in the Court are afraid of Coyote but I'm thinking that plane with the crossed out eyes just represents a symbolic prison area where the population of the Court dwells, away from the etheric, from Coyote's point of view. They remind me of Anja's symbol.

A while ago Tom posted sketches of random Coyote shapes to his twitter. I bet those were practice sketches for this chapter. I'll post a link here, but be warned, it may contain Coyote-shape spoilers for the rest of the chapter: linkWell, that backfired didn't it. As keef just informed me last thread, we were told Coyote promised to stay out of Court business. Annie is the Forest Medium, AKA not just Court business. They just gave Coyote an open invitation to interfere with the Court, as they got into his business with Anthony, and we do not know how far it goes, but the farther, the more Coyote can interfere with Court Business because he isn't, he is just fixing Forest business. This! For a while now I've been pretty convinced the only reason Coyote invited Annie to be an honorary citizen and Medium to the Forest was to have her as a loophole in this whole "can't mess with the Court" business. I doubt he had anything to do with Tony's reappearance but it hardly takes a genius to predict the Court would find a way to keep Annie from going to the forest someday. Boom, reason for conflict! But now zbeeblebrox is pointing out this might actually have been the Court's plan and intention all along? Okay, I'm out. Not going to attempt to see through this game of Court/Forest chess heehee, well...it could go either way, I suppose ;P I can think of advantages and disadvantages for both sides, it's just that when it comes to schemes, the Court comes to mind more often than Coyote. He's more of a 'seat of the pants' kind of leader.

But Coyote does not care about Jones. Really, Jones is fine especially when she brings cakes BUT Coyote came for his FIRE HEAD GIRL!
