"Running" with the wolves.
- Robyn creates a distraction to return to the woods by opening the cage Sean Og and the sheep are in. Cue the sheep popping out in a cage-shaped cube and the soldiers struggling to recapture a man they already put restraints on.
- During the meeting between Robyn and wolf Mebh, the former accidentally gets caught in a snare. Wolf Mebh looks on in confusion as Robyn stutters that she'll fight off the wolf with nothing but her fists if need be. The cherry on top is how wolf Mebh's expression gradually morphs from confusion to playful enjoyment, thinking this is some sort of fun game, as though she legitimately thinks "townies" like to hang upside-down by the foot swinging back and forth for fun.
- During their first real meeting, Mebh threatens that the wolves are going to eat Robyn when she keeps asking questions and gives a subtle nod and eye glance to the wolves to start chasing her. When neither Robyn nor the wolves take the hint, Mebh gleefully repeats the threat, causing Robyn to run… and the wolves still don't pay any heed. After an awkward silence, Mebh gestures for her wolves to chase after Robyn, causing them to finally start running after her.
- Robyn is still scared when Mebh and the wolves chase after her, but Mebh is obviously having more fun messing with Robyn than actually trying to get her to leave, treating it like a game.Robyn: Get away from me! [winces as one of the wolves gets close enough to bite her cape]
Mebh: [clearly amused] But you're so slow! - When Robyn and Mebh exchange names, Mebh goes on a tangent about birds getting away from her due to being able to fly, but can't escape for long because she's smarter than them. Robyn uses this distraction to swing onto a branch and get away from the wolves, music swelling as she finally outsmarts Mebh ... only to fall into another snare. Enter Mebh and wolves, stage left.Mebh: Caught again! Some hunter. That's two for me, none for you. [proceeds to spin Robyn around]
Robyn: Whoooooaaaaahh! - A tense moment of Bill nearly finding the den is broken up by Robyn, inches away on the other side of the vines, pressing her hand against Mebh's mouth and closing the snout of a loudly panting wolf, causing it to stick its tongue out. After Bill leaves, Mebh is indignant at Robyn's caution while the two are confined to the right third of the screen as if Bill is still there. Then the wolves burst through the vine wall in a massive dog-pile, which leads Mebh to scold the wolves for going outside the vine wall during the day and tells them to "go back to bed" as if they were a bunch of children.
- While guiding a blindfolded Robyn away from the den, Mebh starts to sniff, claiming she smells something. Robyn's reaction ("Aw, Mebh!" while making a face and waving her hand in front of her face) strongly implies Mebh just farted beside her.
- Mebh steals "town tasties" from two woodcutters by tipping the cart they're sitting in front of and taking their food when they're distracted. Robyn barely retrieves her crossbow before the cart tips back down on top of her. Mebh completes her trolling by switching the woodcutters' hat and bread, triggering a Wimp Fight between the woodcutters while Robyn and Mebh run off giggling like schoolgirls. As an added touch, Mebh's hands are full and a milk jug she stole instead bounces around on top of her head with nothing keeping it up there.
- When Robyn brushes Mebh's hair while they talk, Robyn's brush gets caught and tugging on it turns Mebh's hair into a huge, curly mess. Pausing at the right moment shows a lot of things flying out of Mebh's enormous mass of hair
◊; not only leaves and bones, but live birds and mice as well. - When Robyn prepares to tell Bill about meeting Mebh and her idea of having the wolves leave the forest without killing them, she plays out both sides of the conversation, right down to imitating her father's voice. At one point, she even puts on his hat and sits in his chair while impersonating him, with part of her hair coming out from under her bonnet to resemble Bill's sideburns.
- The part where Robyn imitates her father's voice can also be a lot of fun, if you remember that Robyn was originally going to be a boy, but then the filmmakers decided to change she for a girl.
- Although undercut by how he does get angry, there's something giggle-worthy about how Robyn asks her father not to get angry, before sharing her diplomatic idea concerning the Wolfwalkers. In response, he gently (but curiously and suspiciously) says "Go on", as though internally wondering "What did you do?" Robyn notes he didn't promise, to which he confirms that fact with a tranquil "I know. Go on, tell me." Even if he doesn't show it, this just screams how Bill intuitively knows whatever Robyn did, it's not going to be good and will in fact make him angry.
- Robyn is made to work all day in the scullery under the very Puritan motto, "Work is prayer". When she returns home exhausted, her father repeats the same phrase.
- Robyn meeting up with Mebh after her first transformation. The following exchange has some Black Comedy:Robyn: Something's happened to me!
Mebh: Yeah, I can see that. [gives an anxious howl] I thought I'd fixed the bite... I thought you'd be fine! Oooooh, Mammy's gonna kill me!
Robyn: Well, my father will kill me!- During that exchange, the wolves do as canines do and try sniffing Robyn's butt. Robyn looks rather annoyed by this once she notices what they're doing.
- Both times wolf Robyn crashes into wolf Mebh, they roll down the hill in a big ball of wolf!
- In the official artbook, one of the pages◊ shows that even the creators had a little fun with their work, essentially creating professional shitposts. This image◊ of the Lord Protector seducing his horse with a memetic French phrase takes the cake for sheer absurdity.
