But why then would he ask Annie to ask Jones re: the stars? It wasn't mentioned to Ysengrin, and I'm not sure that a mention of Jones i.e. Wandering Eye would serve to affect the situation. No, I'm thinking that Coyote put forth the theory to drive apart Ysengrin and Annie, but that it would only be a happy side-effect to his true aim, which is probably either to expose Wandering Eye and force her back to the Forest, or to get Jeanne out of the Annan Waters in order to leave the Court defenseless against him. Or something else entirely, it's not as though we mere mortals can figure out why something like Coyote would do anything.
