Ignore the fact that I'm on fire. Maybe I happen to just like warmth, hmm? Ever thought of that? HMM?! YOU WANNA FIGHT ME?!
*coughs*
Never mind that. My digit, it's gone, because it was taken. It wasn't even my fault, completely. Well, I suppose I could've avoided it, but what's the fun in that? Life's no fun if you're never in mortal danger! What was the old saying about that? Something something, killed the cat... oh well, it's no matter. There's surely a saying. Maybe what I said is the saying! Maybe I'm the sayer who made up the saying I just said. See?
Yes, yes. My toe. I know.
I'll tell you how I lost it... come on, lean in close, it's a secret...
I had to choose between it, and my tail, after I wandered into an Alpha's den. He had both of them, but if I gave up one, I could escape fast!
See, he said he would let me off if I apologized (hard to hear him well, what with his mouth being full of my toe while he pinned me by my precious, precious tail, but I managed). Normal people would've gotten off with a warning after they apologized, right? But not me, ha-ha! I'm not normal! I didn't want to apologize, so I didn't. And I tried to steal his food! Well, not just his food. Also his mate. And his valuables. Alright, I tried to steal everything! And I nearly did, too! Too bad I forgot that living things tend to make a lot of noise... really, I should've been able to remember that. Last time I tried to steal someone, I nearly lost my eye!
Wait a minute.... oh dear. I can't find my eye!! Where is it?! I can't see it anywhere.... NEVER MIND! It seems to be attached to my face. No wonder I couldn't find it.
Anywho, he never expected me to pull away so fast and simply leave my toe behind. Proudest moment, getting a one-up over that alpha! Even if I only have a few scars to show for it!
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "This guy must be insane." And I've got some news for you. You're right!
With a laugh, Tab jumped into the air, spun around, and sprinted wildly off into the distance, his flaming tail waving behind him.

There's gotta be something wrong with this guy.
