There were few things he could remember thatstank like a snow-lizard's innards. Without deliberation he tossed the slipperyentrails into the snow. When the animal's corpse had been entirely eviscerated, Han shoved his friendinside the warm, hair-covered skin. "I know this doesn't smell so good, Luke, butit'll keep you from freezing. I'm sure this Tauntaun wouldn't hesitate if it were theother way around." From the body of the snow-lizard, another blast of entrail-stench rose out of thedisemboweled cavity. "Whew!" Han almost gagged. "It's just as well you're outcold, pal." There wasn't much time left to do what had to be done. Han's freezing handswent to the supply pack strapped to the Tauntaun's back and rummaged through theRebel-issue items until he located the shelter container.
