By the time I had the bag and was on my way towards the square, everyone was already there, neatly lined up. All the dogkin must have heard from the grannies what was going on, because their eyes were all alight with anticipation.

I took to passing out coins to each villager and thanking them for their efforts. Two coins for those who fought, and one coin for those who didn’t. I handed out coins to everyone, including Senai and Ayhan, the dogkin kids, the grannies, and Francis and Francoise too.

When I was all done and about to tell them all to go back and go about their day, a young shep came up to me holding their coin in both hands like it was something really precious. The little dogkin looked a bit nervous, but they looked me straight in the eyes as they spoke.

“Lord Dias, is it okay to put a hole in the coin?” the dogkin asked.

I was surprised. I’d just given out the rewards, and now one of them wanted to put a hole in their coin. Why would they want to do that? I mean, gold was gold, so it wasn’t like it would be completely useless if you did something like that, but I didn’t think a merchant would be too happy to get a coin with a hole in it either.

I was struggling to find words for a reply, but then more dogkin came up to me and they started asking if they could do the same. I told them all to calm down and I kneeled down, and when I could look them all in the eye, I spoke.

“Guys, why do you want to put a hole in your coins? I’m not saying you can’t do it, but I’d like to at least know why.”

The dogkin who’d plucked up the courage to ask answered first.

“If I put a hole in it, then I can put a string through it,” they said excitedly. “And if I can put a string through it, then I can wear it as a necklace! It’s a reward that came from you, Lord Dias, so I want to carry it with me all the time!”

“All the time?” I asked. “Guys, those are gold coins you’ve got there. Money, you know? I gave them to you so that when the merchant visits us, you can buy something you want, like food or toys and such.”

But the moment I said that, the dogkin hugged the coin tight to their just and shook their head like that was the worst idea in the world. Their eyes started filling with tears and they told me that they never wanted to use the coin and would never let it go. The others were all pretty similar, and well, I didn’t really know what to do.

I’d given the dogkin coins for their work in the past, and they’d taken to decorating their yurts with them. I always thought it was because they were just happy
