[As much of a raven as she is ... to him, a she just might be more of a coyote. It's not the simple explanation of trickster that does it, either; they both already knew. No, it's about what the coyote does. He's playful, resourceful, intelligent and inspiring. More importantly, he uses that inspiration and charisma to urge people to change their lives, to learn from their mistakes.]
[It wasn't a conscious decision on his part, to pick the coyote (or well, the equivalent). Things just happened that way sometimes. But after remembering and quietly reciting the keywords he knew about the wild dogs his decision for the gift had only solidified further.]
[The original idea is from a girl he only barely remembers, but he recalls her necklace, her animal claw. They're linked together, her and Carmen - he knows this with an intuition he doesn't ever bother questioning. There's a link to him, too. And a boy.]
[But maybe, right now, none of that is important., What is is the look on Carmen's face, the stunned touched silence, and he quietly takes the bracelet from her to help that. He opens the clasp and slips the bracelet on her left wrist, letting the claw rest against the back of her hand, and then takes a moment to kiss her, softly.]
