Well that's not creepy.
Also, has either of them ever called her Antimony before? I'm just curious because it feels so...out of place or wrong.

It's like calling your child by both names and surname after some serious shenenigans were discovered. Edit: "Antimony Euphemia Carver! Come here this instant!" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Edit 2: Also Ysenyote's "Antimony" is probably menacingly melodied: (low)An(high)ty(middle)mony... |

It's the word 'little' that makes it creepy. It's not a word I think Ysengrin would use, or at least not the Ysengrin as we knew him.

No doubt Coysengrin will want to do an exchange or transaction with her. A story in return for not rampaging anymore, maybe? Or something more sinister?
The last panel's voice bubble died in Infinity War.

Since many characters have unique colors for their speech bubbles, the first thing I did was try to see what color this one was for any clue or indication of which entity was the 'pilot' now, per se, or if they might even have a blended color bubble... But then I realized both Coyote and Ysengrin have white speech bubbles so would be impossible to differentiate from off-camera either way. Womp womp.

To me, it's the word "My". *shivers again* It's most definitely more Coyote than Ysengrin. I need the next chapter yesterday. |

Don't do that, you're making it worse for me. To me, it's the word "My". *shivers again* Yes, this exactly. |

The speech patterns reminded me of the theory that what was really assaulting the Court wasn't Ysengrin with Coyote's powers, but Coyote in Ysengrin's husk, taking him over from the inside and replacing Ysengrin's nature with his own. While much of what Ysengrin said during the assault upon the Court better fitted him than Coyote, the way he's speaking to her now feels more Coyote-ish.
Which is ominous, since the hope of Annie's mission depended on this being Ysengrin on the inside - the combination of his anger at the Court (based on whatever grievances Gilltie Wood's inhabitants have felt towards the Court over many years) with his more tender, fatherly side that he's come to show towards Annie. If Annie could reach past the fury to that gentler, paternal element, there could be hope.
But Coyote's motives are different. He doesn't feel (so far as we can tell) the sense of smoldering anger towards the Court and its people that Ysengrin (and those other forest-folk who hate it) do. The trouble he's caused it stems purely from a desire to have fun, to amuse himself (if at others' expense), the exuberance of being a trickster. If that's what Annie's up against, then her hopes of talking him out of this evaporate, and the Court is most likely doomed.
(The one possibility might be pointing out that what he's doing to the Court right now isn't on the level of comical trickster-mischief, but serious destruction - that he could turn into just another "unfunny" monster, rather than a trickster. There's the precedent of Loki in Norse mythology, who degenerated from trickster into an out-and-out enemy of the gods after doing things like murdering Balder - and a bit of Norse mythology has already shown up in the comic through Brinnie, though Loki himself hasn't been hinted at - and it's late in the day to pull him in.)
Annie's best hope is that Ysengrin's merely developed a few of Coyote's verbal mannerisms, but is essentially Ysengrin in characterization and motives.

CreeeEEEeepy! D:
On a totally different note - with the cool backpack and the hair and the fingerless gloves, Annie looks like a Pokémon trainer. Which is appropriate - - she is about to face a Legendary Pokémon™

I read it as Annie hearing more coyote like voice, the words "my" and "little" and especially the laugh is something much more coyote like. So first the eyes go open in surprise because she thought coyote was dead, then her eyes close with angry tone as she realised this is all part of coyotes big joke on everyone, both the court and Ysengrin and also including her. (He fooled everyone and putting Jones in outer space and watching Annie's reaction was really funny for him, and now he wants a private talk without Jones to have even more fun, he will likely tell Annie stuff that she will be forced to keep secret... no Jones as a witness) I find last frame of this page interesting: www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=275, Annie talking privately with coyote and then a frame of Jones face as she listens. No one else matters in that scene. |

It's most definitely more Coyote than Ysengrin. I need the next chapter yesterday. If it was "My little fire head", or "Little girl", maybe...but of the two of them, Coyote doesn't call her Antimony (to the best of my knowledge), but Ysengrin has (random example). Ysengrin also has that...oddly fatherly tone that could lead into the "my little", especially now that he's grown so much in power. The laughing is very Coyote-esque though. |

You're right--these lines, like everything else we've seen so far, point to Coygrin being BOTH Coyote and Ysengrin, and I think we need to treat him that way (regardless of what the exact proportions are). The creature Annie is going to negotiate with is an angry, capricious trickster god with immense power, who hates humans but loves Annie (just as he possibly hates and loves himself), may or may not tell lies, and thinks everything is very funny.  |
