Also, did Ysengrin not see her during her last visit with Coyote? Maybe Coyote wanted her all to Himself that time? I was pretty sure this is the first visit to the forest, the one being allowed by Anthony. I don't think she necessarily visited during the Coyote Trip. (I assume we'll find out soon). |

I think Coyote last saw Annie when he went to the Court since he had not seen nor heard from her in a while. We then had the whole hissy fit and toppled building fiasco. Coyote may have gone there on his own. There was something odd about the Forest signal, it was red when it is usually green. Coyote may have sent the signal himself instead of having Ysengin sending it. I would like to know how much time has passed since the first day of school and Annie's reaction to seeing her dad again and all the fallout. |

I think Ysengrin goes beyond liking Annie. Yes he is pragmatic and very rude... As an aside. Annie is crowded with father figures. Anthony, Ysengrin, Donald, Jimmie. The only mother type is Jones (Anja has not interacted with her so much apart from blinker stone training that one time). Must be somewhat crowded in her head to have to please all those daddies. All those father figures to please; that really is a dreadful thought. Also: Renard (in wolf mode) |

More than horror, Ysengrin despises weakness or people showing him pity... If he feels Antimony looks pathetic now and sees some reflection of himself in her, perhaps he can reevaluate his own relationship to Coyote and what his tree-form is doing to his body. But those are two big "ifs." If someone won't hang out with you when you've lost your fire elemental, were they your friend in the first place? Maybe it's the power loss, maybe it's the attractiveness-drop (either etheric or the new do or both). Back when I was still on the market sometimes I would have trouble determining if I was attracted to someone or if it was just the outfit they were wearing. Maybe it's just the only analogy that I can think of that even comes close to this situation in the comic but if someone I'd been meeting at a party-type scene suddenly showed up in unattractive attire when I wasn't wearing the beer goggles and the usual "magic" was completely gone I might also be taken back, perhaps I'd want to take some time to reevaluate my own perceptiveness (though I'd cover for it much better than Ys did).  |

I don't know if someone made the comparison yet but Annie attempting to control her fireself seems similar to someone from His Dark Materials trying to control their daemon (ie their soul). People who can't see daemons would sense something is wrong but not see it, whereas people who can (here Ysengrin, Coyote) can clearly see how horrible the idea is. Annie tried to cut her fire from her like the antagonists in His Dark Materials sever the link between people and their daemon (seen as a source of problems/sins). Although Annie isn't just a walking shell it's possible that Ysengrin is horrified by the attempt in itself. Oh, I remember this. ...That's a very sobering thought, however, as it implies that what she's done is an irreversible harm to herself. I hope that it's a wound she can heal, or at least that the scar won't run too deep. |

I think Panel 4 really shows how much she has missed the forest, and Ysengrin especially.
