Given the way Reynardine is standing in that last panel, I'm pretty sure Coyote will appoint him as protector...

Oh poo poo, I thought of another direction this could go. Coyote offers Annie the role of Medium. The audience objects, but the headmaster starts thinking that maybe he can use this to his advantage. He offers to lend him Annie, under a few very strict terms -- that she remain a resident in the Court, that she has limited visitation hours per month, that the Court retains the ability to reschedule visitations for health or academic issues, stuff like that. Coyote cheerfully agrees to everything. Annie can hardly believe it, but she realizes that this can be used to her advantage as well. She announces that she accepts the position, she steps forward to shake his paw and seal the deal... And then Coyote just laughs in her face. "Did you all really think I'm dumb enough to pick my Medium out of the ranks of the Court?! How easy it was to take her from you, Headmaster! Surely you meant to use her as a weapon, not so! And Fire Head Girl! How eagerly you agreed to turn coat! To spite the Court, perhaps? Or did you have an agenda of your own? Well, this has all been very amusing, but Chuckles and I will take our leave now. I'll be back in a day or two with my REAL nomination for Medium. Ta!" And then Annie, utterly humiliated and marked as a traitor, starts running toward the Annan Ravine. At an angle from the bridge.

What would be the point of that, though? Coyote's a prankster, but he's never been that mean spirited. He doesn't seem like the kind of person to be that spiteful.

This has probably been discussed to death but maybe the whole reason Coyote set up the Ysengrin-goes-crazy-tree-spider-mode thing was so that Annie would be more likely to accept the position. If she was still totally buddy-buddy with Ysengrin she'd probably tell Coyote no because he's putting him down again this page. Now she's more likely to be OK with taking his job.

I don't think that "Oh, he's not cute and cuddly, he's actually a loosely-hinged homicidal maniac!" is going to make her more likely to take the position. (e:fb) I admittedly can't really comprehend Coyote here, but I do wonder if: 1. Ysengrin's belief in Coyote sustains him, and taking the more emotional of his memories sustains him more than otherwise, and, on a more likely note, 2. Coyote thinks Ysengrin is getting played out (either sustenance or amusement-wise, since Ysen doesn't react to Coyote's taunting anymore) and this is all a long con to get a fresh toy to take Ysen's spot in the form of Renard. "My ridiculously convoluted plan is one quarter complete!"

It didn't really strike me that she thought he was a homicidal maniac. Even after jimmy jims brought her back to the court she was mainly concerned if he was alright.

Yeah, she seems to have believed Jones that Coyote was influencing him. I guess she learned not to hold people responsible for what they do in magically altered states of mind after Jack called her out on being mad at him for things he couldn't control.

I got that vibe there, but her inability to look him in the eyes in this chapter seems pretty indicative that she's still going to be as careful around him as if it were true. Which makes sense, since she doesn't know what might set him off, coyote-controlled or not.

That ties into Parley's comment about something like "a fencer like that should have killed us" when she and Annie were like caught or whatever. Even though Jeane definitely reacts poorly to people showing up, I guess it is true that if she wanted to she could have killed Annie the first time and both of them the second time, or whatever she'd do as a ghost person. The thing with Jeane seemed to me like it was some sort of human sacrifice that the Court made in order to make the Annan Waters more secure, maybe? But maybe it's also got more behind it than that.
