[2009] Now we can talk in private.

Whoever's mentality is uppermost in that canid will determine how this meeting goes. Ysengrin has a deep-rooted anger at the Court; Coyote, on the other hand, does things just for the laughs, and would endanger the Court because it entertained him. Furthermore, Coyote's shown an ability to outtalk everyone (so far), ensuring that he always what he gets at the end of a discussion; if his consciousness is on top, he could probably wind up persuading Annie that he's in the right to attack the Court (maybe using Annie's distrust of the adults at the Court, her disapproval of what they did to Jeanne, her feeling more at home with the forest-folk, etc.).

In fact, if it's Coyote whose character is prevalent, the Court will have to find another way to handle this problem than diplomacy; Annie might be able to talk Ysengrin out of the attack, but I don't think she or anyone else could do the same with Coyote.

I imagine tomorrow's bonus page would be either an epic shot of the forest, or court-side people concerned (particularly Anthony), but part of me really wants to see Space Jones in the lotus position.

Given all the responses that those two pages of Jones's fate got, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Bonus Page focused on her rather than on, say, the Court's "home front".

How do you stop a "usurper" God from attacking your home? By separating him from his mantle of power, that is, the Red Cape of Strength that Coyote lender him.
But how?
Using the keenest blade in existence, that could separate a shadow from the floor, a blade that the former God told you to KEEP a secret from the Usurper.

My bet is that somehow Coyote is still keeping the knowledge about the Tooth from Ys mind,
and
Annie brought the Tooth hidden with her
And
someone (Annie? Bipping PARLEY?) uses The Tooth to separate Ys and Coyote, or at least, cut Ys from.the red strip of Godly Strength.

I suspect the Tooth will be used only as a last resort (if at all), and that Annie's preferred approach will be to try reaching out to Ysengrin, awaken him from his anger, rather than trying force.
