In keeping with the webcomics theme, Brad Guigar once spent like 5 minutes correcting Scott Kurtz and Dave Kellett on that particular error in an old episode of Webcomics Weekly.YES! Someone got "champing at the bit" correct! Third time is the charm! (Greg Dean and Garnett Lee were the previous offenders who said "chomping" in the past month.)
It's pretty clear that he keeps all kinds of stuff from the rest of them. Ysengrim didn't know R was trapped in the court for one. It's also pretty clear that most of Coyote's gifts come at a cost, if Ysengrim's wooden body is any indication. We haven't seen Antimony suffer any consequences for the Tooth aside from the armband, so it seems to me that Coyote DOES have the ability to give gifts without cost... and if Ysengrim found out, he would be VERY pissed.I dunno that Coyote is the type who would give a shit what the other forest dwellers think of his favouritism.
