RASK GET YOUR DOG!!

Dhaka Yeena

Oh no….. uh…..let’s hope everyone rolls low

Grey

Nice call for those who predicted her lunging! I wonder if she’s trying to prove a point rather than get to Oren here. She doesn’t look particularly snarly, and she’s pushing Rask out of the way to (I think?) knock the spear out of Oren’s hands.

JeffMakesGames

I hope so. What she is doing is putting her mate and pups in danger.

Jess Hawke

She's locked in on the spear, so definitely going for that first. After that? hard to say

SJ

Swift nooooooo

Dhaka Yeena

Could she possible be trying to take the spear? I know that’s a long shot but still

Dinah

Gosh darn it Swift

Microgrampup

Not a long shot at all. She has learned from her last encounter with Baneberry to grab the shaft of the spear.

Microgrampup

She probably doesn’t look snarky because she doesn’t view Oren as a threat due to being maimed and old.

OldeWolfe

Will Swift be impaled? Can she knock the spear out of the way and get to Oren? Is this all to prove a point or will someone die? Tune in next week for another exciting episode of Oren's Forge! (outro music)

I think she's trying to prove a point that the metal is not some insurmountable defense, and that she already knows how to disarm it - not eat Oren on the spot. I hope this is her plan, because otherwise at this point it makes her practically impossible to redeem to the other animals. Having another chance to kill Rask, and still not, does suggest she's actually already changed from the start, regardless of how stubborn she comes across to the audience.

I've thought about it, and the comment I wrote last week was wrong. In any work of art, it's important to remember that a character doesn't know everything the way we, the readers, do. Swift doesn't know anything about the Zenith pack, how it functions, etc., so she might think these wolves will be afraid of the bear and won't enter the forest. A good story also has the quality of a character acting in accordance with their character, not the author's wishes. Swift is a wolf, so it's normal for her to hunt and not want help from the animals. I also thought that Swift might want to drive these animals out of the Hollow and hide her pups there herself. Regardless of whether she knows what Zenith intends, she and Red won't have anywhere to hide because Rask said the entrance is too small for an adult wolf, and if Zenith kills them, the pups won't survive either. Well, now we know that the Zenith pack isn't friendly and kills everything in its path.

Chipster

I think she’s not actually going for Oren, she wants the metal

Krzysztof K

Now I know that Hemlock's departure had a plot justification. She wouldn't have messed with Swift, she would have killed her outright. We don't know what Cotton and that mouse will do. I miss Hemlock and hope we'll see her again someday.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/126112421?utm_campaign=postshare_fan It seems fair to assume that Swift is trying to establish the same kind of network with the Warren. Protect them in exchange for a sacrifice. That would save her from having to leave her mate to go hunting. But first she has to take away their hope. Cower them into submission. The swiftest way to do that (pun intended) would it be to remove Oren. As Rask admitted, he is at the centre. Without him, they’re lost.

"Wild wolves won't listen until someone's blood hits the grass, no matter how sweet of a song you sing them... they all have rocks between their ears" All along we thought Pivot was just being a hardass, but apparently she really was onto something there. Like c'mon Swift, honey, are ya really gonna try and start a war on TWO fronts? While your family is completely defenseless, and you yourself are already badly injured?

Marcwolf

No.. no.. no.. Swift is going to get seriously hurt..

dobbs

There’s a lot of posturing in wolf social dynamics. It can come down to actual violence at times, but usually it stops at bluster and submission. I think Swift is trying to establish dominance by challenging Oren and quickly coming to realize that the prey animals aren’t cowering.

The Swift-Oren Hostage Crisis of ____

Julian Seguin

Gotta love Teagan’s attention to detail in continuity. Swift still has that gash on her left shoulder/forearm. And the spear seems pointed on that.

Wyn Bird

Love the framing around her wound in that first panel! Maybe I'm reading too much into things but it highlights the moment so nice, like once was enough for her adapt to prey with metal. The push and pull between all these characters is such tasty storytelling!

JeffMakesGames

So... a thought. Swift seems unimpressed about Oren being the leader. An old, maimed, rabbit. But that means nothing. Just because he is old and maimed, doesn't mean he is frail or weak. He is leader for a reason. He has experience with the metal. He killed a bear. He also took Gristle's eye with a sharp stick, although that was before the metal. Between Oren learning the metal and Rask showing up to the Stone Hollow, we don't know what else Oren has fought or killed besides a bear. I think Swift is underestimating Oren here. We haven't seen him actually fight. We might be in for a surprise.

Gale Tazzin

It'd be shocking, but I can see how the plot could unfold if Oren spears her throat right here. Swift was always the longest shot for the Hollow because she's a hunter. Red and the pups are not hunters. Oren might take them in out of pity having deprived them of their means to survive, much as he did with Egg

Gale Tazzin

maybe? but the narrative already had a moment like that with Yarrow disarming Hemlock in the climax of volume 1. and I don't think Oren was going to accept Swift regardless of how this meeting went!

Gale Tazzin

next time, Oren will learn to forge the metal into a martingale collar

Krzysztof K

It looks like she'll probably knock the spear out of Oren's hands, but as I wrote earlier, there's no telling how Cotton and the mouse will react. Sybil, as a porcupine, might also react, and she might sting Swift severely.

JeffMakesGames

I don't know if Teagan will answer this before Page 387 comes out but from Oren visiting the Conclave to starting the Hollow and Rask showing up, how much time has actually passed? Are we talking a few years estimated? Because I feel like if its been many years, Oren would not just have experience with the metal, but also how to wield it, and how to fight. I don't think Swift is going for Oren necessarily, but for the spear in his hand. On page 224, Swift took the spear from Baneberry more easily, probably because he isn't an experienced fighter like Oren would be. I mean, he IS the leader for a reason. I can't see him being so easily ambushed and disarmed. He may be old and maimed, but that doesn't mean weak or frail.
