Just gotta say: What a page. WHAT A PAGE!
Also: living things have colour in aethereality. And the stone.

Another thing occurred to me - she was about to pet him. I think most of all, she's been busted. She's nothing but a big ol' softie.

I think now that Rey is just trying to get a rise out of Annie, but still, if worse comes to absolute worst, I do believe she still has that beacon from Eglamore.

I'm not much interested in the legalistic contractual details between Rey and Annie. What interests me is what he will do when he is unconstrained. I think those noting that his Etheric form lacks the GK symbol on his forehead are right in suggesting that this means he is less constrained now than otherwise. Since the mind is the plaything of the body, I'm not entirely sure Rey is unconstrained right now. The Antimony symbol usually isn't there when Rey is in his plushie form, or his "I'm just a toy, nothing to see here" form, either. Rey knew that Annie was Surma's daughter the night he first met her. Well before his apparent attempt to possess her, and before he was in her thrall.

If Annie was indeed trying to pet Reynardine, that raises some questions. She's been portrayed throughout as on her guard about him - mentioning as late as Chapters Nineteen and Twenty how he'd tried to possess and thereby kill her. And in Chapter Twenty-one, she's eyeing him even more uneasily and cautiously than before.
So why would she try petting him? Has she indeed started developing softer feelings for him, in spite of herself? (Annie never struck me as the sort to get sentimental over the Bad Boy.) Or was she simply examining him with a gesture that could be mistaken for an affectionate pat?

I assumed she was seeing if she could read his mind or otherwise look inside his head in some way. I suppose she might have been checking what if anything "touching" someone while spying would actually do. I very much doubt she was trying to pet him out of affection.

On the plus side, Reynard will almost certainly remark about the cut on her cheek very soon. How long has she gone without knowing it's still there? A year?

She started 7th grade about after the first semester, and it was almost the mid-point of that semester when she fell off the bridge.

Or was she simply examining him with a gesture that could be mistaken for an affectionate pat? So does Antimony like him, or LIKE him, like him. I doubt her affection is anything other than platonic. He's been a big help to her, a protector ( www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=285 - is everybody forgetting that one? If I'm not mistaken, he really was risking harm. Also, nice nod to Parasyte, there, Tom , and a constant companion - it would be strange if she didn't develop an attachment to him. And if there weren't some emotional bond between them, why would they be awkward after the relevation that he'd been in love with her mother?

I believe she was petting him in order to express the affection for him that she could never express otherwise, because of caution. After hearing more of his story from Coyote, she would feel for Reynardine as a tragic figure, someone who was in love with her mother and out of that love did something crazy and damning. She wouldn't be able to express this feeling in the normal, waking state, but perhaps she thought there'd be no harm if she did it this way.
