If it's a particularly old school code, refusing the generosity of a host might actually be a bad thing as well.

Since Ikari isn't the one holding the cash, he isn't really in a position to give the money away for no reason. Unless of course he wants to physically take it from Clem and cause a scene, though that would require a lot of backtracking in the posts.

The assumption following Rudy's comment is that it went on the counter. Getting physical with anyone - or backtracking anything - is way beyond where I want to take any of this.

So it is clear, Clem still has all the money, it was offered, refused, insisted and refused again.  If that is a problem, start backtracking :)

Assume Clem grabbed the cash when he refused it, then?

You quickly find the Pow-wow, it is a bar, not more than a mile from where you are.  Disposable links are available in three locations nearby, the 2070 equivalents of Wal-mart and Radio Shack, in or near the mall on the edge of town and the Stuffer Stop truck stop well north of town, where Old 82 crosses TN 90 (TN stands for transnational, both roads are Interstates in 2013 but things have changed).

@Rhat: and in some codes, a favour or gift must be paid back in equal or greater measure, taking into account the net effects of the favour.

Which can wind up being particularly difficult, and / or machiavellian.

Rules of hospitality tend to get pretty complicated, yeah.

Clem didn't actually put any money on the counter. She asked how much it was and the waitress answered it was free. A bit of insisting and payment was still refused, so she had no reason to put an undetermined amount of money on the counter.

Johnny should probably be specifying the smuggler - he's got decent intuition at least, right?

What do you mean? He's actually not sure who refers to them as coyotes (he thinks he's being clever, he's not.) Besides that is what Sam is there for, to use the right language.  ;D

So Johnny is a logic 1, will 2, and intuition 3 kinda guy if that clears things up. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

A coyote is also an animal.  Which Johnny, at least, knows full well due to having dealt with a shaman whose totem is Coyote.

Yes I know that... :o
Why shouldn't he try to use the lingo? Worst case sheriff thinks he's talking about the animal and Sam sorts it. Which is actually what I'm expecting. It changes the subject and makes it so Johnny can stop talking again.

Edit: It could make good RP at least.

FYI: When you say "what do you mean", I naturally assume I should be more specific about what I'm saying.  Sorry.  Sometimes I only have two settings in conversation - assume people know the relevant information, or go through the whole thing piece by piece.
