Ok so that's just what I was referring to and I do the same thing because that's the American pronunciation and without hearing it regularly I don't think I'd be able to switch it in my head.

I thought you meant you were somehow saying Annie wrong tho lol

Eagle Moor.

Seriously though, the egg one, so he can be nicknamed "Eggie Eggs".

Once the author has produced a work, he has no control over the interpretations. Within the strict margins of this story, there is nothing contradicting my opinion that it's pronounced Anemone.
Unless Tom writes a canonical page where the characters explicitly discuss and dictate, or affirm a certain pronounciation, everything goes.
Death of the author.

That's been the case from the start. It does look like he hasn't really got better about it though.
I suspect he doesn't see Forest Annie as his real daughter so he's eased up around her.

Notice on the previous page he said "Thank you. Both of you." That's pretty huge for Tony. But yeah, it is telling that he only made the joke when Court!Annie had gone upstairs.

I love how weird this scene and both Annies' silent reactions must be for Tony.

The way I've read these interactions is that Tony doesn't see Forest!Annie as his daughter which is pretty disheartening from a reader's perspective.

Tony was just a disguise for Loup that he sent back in time with no memories to become an awkward nerd and infiltrate the court. When Loup gets all the artifacts, his memories are restored to destroy the court from the inside.

Pretty interesting too, seeing he and Jones seemed to be the only ones to presume that she was real.

But in a way, Forest Annie isn't the girl he'd been living with those past few months; his rapport with one just isn't the same as that with the other.
