Mini Info Dump incoming.
"Mini" due to the Clippy's size. Luckily, we can't understand Saslamel. He's Mr Exposition, and won't shut up. Tom has actually been spilling the entire future of the comic, in Saslamel's ideograms.
That's a joke. Please, don't spend weeks trying to decypher them.

Where is my notepad, and “Deciphering Dead Languages for Dummies” book? |

I’m sure it’s a special blend of Welsh Klingon.

I'd like to point out the little detail about how the interpreter has frantic sweat coming off him in response to the Annies' flare up, possibly implying that even these beings of whatever etheric bureaucracy there is are inherently scared by the power of a fire elemental or two. The attempt at a backpedal backs up this theory as well.

I feel like Ether!Clippy is ready to happily go into a legalese diatribe but will be interrupted. Either someone else will show up to speak in Kat's defense and we get some Ether Court action (and Richard Moll can star as Bull again!!((...anyone??...)))
or Clippy will briefly mention something about a new contract in his speech.

You KNOW you're in deep trouble when the person deciding your fate is trying to reassure you, comfortingly, that your only punishment will involve being literally mind controlled for the rest of your life.

Saslamel: IT IS ALSO A PHYSICAL JAIL

Why does it feel like Rey is setting up Arbitrator to explain in the form of showtune?

Gee, if only Kat wasn't the registered owner of the arrow. This is why I never send in those warranty registration cards. |

I don't like the look on Clippy's face in the last panel. Gee, if only Kat wasn't the registered owner of the arrow. Like, for example, if she gave the arrow to the arbitrator. You know, the arrow that can do a lot of damage to the arbitrator's bureaucracy. That arrow. Then they wouldn't have to put her in jail, maybe. Ah!! Logic in court; throw a can of lawyers at it!! |

While a valid point, to draw on real world legal concepts: minors are usually treated differently than adults. I was thinking about all this, not from a legal point of view (as in, "What judgment would you give if this was an actual court case?") but from - well, I don't know how to describe it in a few words, but my point was that Kat didn't need to use the arrow to return Rey's ownership to Annie - she did it just to see what would happen - a case of unbridled curiosity. And wondered if it might be similar to her robot project - which, while it may have started as simply a way of solving Robot's original body getting paper-clipped, and also brought in an attempt to solve Juliette and Arthur's problem, seems to have been fueled really more by "it'd be really fun and cool" than by a desire to achieve a practical goal. (For that matter, could the Court's own big experiments, such as the power plant and the mysterious Omega Device, be similarly fueled by just curiosity to see what will happen - with, presumably, the Court having no plan to actually do anything with whatever the results are.) |

It's an all-too-common typo these days. Already corrected, though. That was quick! |

Also, have Annie's eyes ever been red like that before? Even when she's in full elemental mode, they're more orange than anything. She looks half-human, half-elemental in the first panel. It’s an odd, Simpsonesque look. You can also understand a language and not be able to speak it. I suffer from this problem growing up bilingual and losing the ability due to not enough usage. My parents speak to me all the time in their native language, and I respond in English. I just can't string a sentence together because the grammar is all backwards. |
