Why, though.
Does Parley create an echo of herself in the ether before she teleports - would make sense, since she never feared teleporting into a wall, so it would be an instinctive use of etherical senses, and Jeanne just tuned in, because she actually fought teleporting opponents before?
Can Jeanne see half a second into the future (since she didn't see Annie/Kat/Green whatever coming, I don't think that's the case).
Also, how far? If it's just a split-second, Parley can still use evasive maneuvers, just not that kind of attacking-from-behind she's so fond of. Either way, she needs to be warned.

God damn it, I changed time zones and forgot to account for the fact that (from my perspective) it's an hour later right now. You beat me to it this time  |

So does Annie warn George, or Andrew (who's closer)? If the latter, we could see the two fighters hacking around at random. This may cause Jeanne to crack up with a case of the giggles. ...OK. Maybe not. |

I feel like it's the first--Parley creates some sort of etheric pre-echo of where she's going, explained by the vaguely Parley-shaped gray thing in panel seven. And it's not in the future, but Parley in the present prepping to bip. Whether Parley herself knows she does it or not is an entirely different question. A fireball would be great any second now, Annie. Where's a good magical artillery cannon when you need one? |

They got to break the arrow. But the arrow could be the basis for such a wonderful Magic Girl Wand / Mecha Angel Scepter. Why, though.

Or was that Jeanne, realizing Smitty was helping, gives him a threatening glance, which made Parley bip over in front of him (panel 8) to protect him? Maybe Jeanne has figured this out, how to pin Parley into Smitty-protection mode... bad news for the good guys! |

Although I'd like to see how Smitty's power to make things boring will work on her attacks. |

She can see things before they happen, that’s why she appears to have such quick reflexes.
It is a Jedi trait.

I think Parley was teleporting near Andrew, and that's why Jeanne turned to look his way. It may have had more to do with were George was going, rather than Andrew.
I'm going with pre-teleport echo. Jeanne could also have experience with teleporting foes. She might be using past fights to predict Parley's moves.
Still waiting for the Tooth to come out to slice her sword in two. Hopefully, before an innocent bystander gets shish kabobed.

I sure hope Jeanne at least appreciates what they did for her boyfriend after she murders them all. |

I don't think his powers are influencing her any more. |

A fireball would be great any second now, Annie. Where's a good magical artillery cannon when you need one? A mere firework. Any rain of dazzling magic to obscure the faint echoes - and everything else, for that matter. Not necessarily fully visible to Parley, at that. Jeanne sliced through the threads binding her to Smitty after missing Blue's head. I don't think his powers are influencing her any more. ...until he would spin more? |

I very much do not want Annie--or anyone else--to treat Jeanne as an enemy, such as attacking her with a fireball or Coyote's tooth.
They were there to save Jeanne, to set her free, not to destroy her.
I blame Robot, who intervened with a sword attack to distract Jeanne when she began to realize that an illusion was being imposed on her. And some extent, Parley, who immediately feel into warrior mode. She forgot her diplomatic role.
Now, Annie needs to get Jeanne's attention, and convince her to accept a truce.
Smitty's probably going to play some role as well, since he's the actual Court Medium (aka ambassador).
