I'm with Rasselas on this one. Reynardine is a trickster. If he had possessed Annie, he would not have been able to hide. I think that he tried to escape by taking the wolf body, but that he did not realise that he would be a slave to the owner of the toy. In the world of Gunnerkrigg I am sure that all animals and humans are free. I do not recall any reference to someone having a pet dog, for example. I can also imagine that Reynardine wanted to take a lifeless body so that he would not have to kill after his next 'jump'. Would his 'original' body still be in the Forest? About the "slave of Annie" thing let me throw in another hypothesis, what if he is lying? what if it is just so he have an excuse to stay near Annie? After all I think Rey would be cunning enough to come up with something so convoluted even if it mean to suffer all those humiliations. Do we have some external confirmation about what Reynardine said? I remember Eglamore say something about it, but how certain they were about it? Reynardine can't lie to Annie. Tom said so. And if Tom is lying, then we can't believe anything.

And if Tom is lying, then we can't believe anything. In one sense, it's his job to lie to us. How else is he to tell a fictional story?

After all I think Rey would be cunning enough to come up with something so convoluted even if it mean to suffer all those humiliations. Do we have some external confirmation about what Reynardine said? I remember Eglamore say something about it, but how certain they were about it? www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=108 - Xeeron I've wondered whether he can lie or not too. This panel is the obvious rebuttal, but on the other hand, the court's knowledge of his limitations is obviously imperfect. The reason that I think he really did try to take over (and kill) Annie there is his conversation with Hettie. www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1228No one is there to trick at that point. He had hidden his feelings until then, and that was the moment of reveal. We can see Rey there unfiltered. He can be brutal, but he also feels regret. As for his conversation with Eglamore... I think the tone of that conversation is Rey is more like Rey playing a game of wits against a worthy opponent. I think, even though he was captured Rey enjoyed the chase, and respected his jailer. At least, that's the impression I got. EDIT: Dammit! I didn't click to page 2, so I missed the Word of Tom post.

Dude, you're replying to a seven year old post. That thing was posted during Chapter 21, back when there was still uncertain whether Rey had tried to kill Annie or not.
