I never understood it as Rey and Eggers bonding when Rey was imprisoned, though. When we first see them together, Rey calls Eggers "Jailor", and we can see they have both hurt each other. When Eggers thinks that Rey has died, he says he is not sorry (and who can blame him, seeing the lifeless body of his longtime companion Sivo on the ground?). And when Eggers sees that Rey has survived, the first thing he does is to draw a knife. So, I'm pretty sure, the bonding between them did only happen after Rey became a resident of Annie's toy, and was allowed to stroll through the Court on his own. How and when exactly is one of the many mysteries still open. I can well imagine they're sharing their grief over Surma's lost love now, though.. Agreed, the bonding came later. I think part of it is that Rey grew to feel regret and remorse for those he killed - certainly Daniel and perhaps Sivo as well: www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1232Eggers can see this is a sign of how much Rey has changed, and respects it, perhaps they bonded over their mutual "loss" of Surma. Maybe they were friends before he stole Daniel's body, when he still lived in the forest? Eggers has been a medium protector for a while, he must have gone into the forest a lot. I say this because Rey calls him an "old friend". Can't be that old if he's only become friends after being freed. |

I think you're right... which makes their relationship more complex and interesting. Once friends, enemies for a time, and now semi-friends again, but with that sad interlude in their history... |

Easy: he never did anything else. (Well, except teach Annie martial arts, I guess.) Any time they tried to get him to come to a doctors' office party, he just said, "I have matters to attend to." |
