The story was awesome, no lie. It had a proper beginning, a good bit of action, and a nice pay-off. Hell, the coy even had the scars to prove it, and Ishi looked at the healed wound wide-eyed. Cool, he enthused genuinely. He didn't care if he was inflating egos or whatever else: the guy deserved to know that it was a great little story.

Hmm, Ishi mused at the question, gazing over the landscape as he had a think. He did have some stories... but he got the impression that the coyote would only like a certain type of story. Aha! It clicked. He had the perfect one.

There was this girl in my old pack, she was like this rangy outrider who always ran intro trouble. One day she came back with a live snake. She said it was a gift for this sleazy guy whose name was literally 'Snake'. He kept winking suggestively at her, which she found gross because he was her granddad's best friend. Anyway, she gave Snake the snake, and of course he ran away. Later, when the snake was nowhere to be seen, he headed to bed and saw the girl — "nice try", he said, and winked. But as he lay down in his sleeping place, he turned over and saw the snake... right there! It bit him right in the eye, all the way through, and it clung on there. He had a snake stuck in his eye for like half an hour before the healer could get it off... and it took the eyeball with it. Snake's still alive, as far as I know, but he doesn't wink at that girl any more.
