He didn’t know exactly what went on with all his children at the same time. Let alone that Dexter had went from no children to five over the last week or two. Zeltzin didn’t tell him anything in regards to that news, apparently seeing fit to let Dexter do it on his own time. Of course no matter the circumstance Coza would be thrilled at the prospect of Dexter having his own children, as well as him having more grandchildren to dote on. Never would Coza upbraid his son for his actions, be a bit disappointed, maybe, but never outright be angry at. He wasn’t capable of that to begin with, but even less so towards his children. This year though had been rough on his family though, it seemed to be getting better. Zelda at least had the pack handle one of those large roaming beasts, but from what he gathered there was another bear out there larger than the one that was already killed. He had heard Dexter had went on that hunt and that he was fine and that was all that mattered to the elder wolf now. He was proud of Dexter for going and helping defend the pack. If Coza was younger he would have wanted to go and he still wished he could have.

He knew he was starting to slow down though, his body didn't’ move as smoothly or easily as it used to when he played with his kids in the valley or around the stream near the den they had been born in. He knew he would never have that sort of play in him again as much as he wanted it for his grandchildren, but he did his best regardless. He enjoyed telling them stories and doing what he could, though he loved them all his time with Zeltzin’s second litter had not been as joyous as his previous litters of grandchildren. Still his thoughts were brought back to the current time when he heard his youngest son call to him.

He turned to face him, tail waving lightly as he let his fire-opal eyes land on him soft smile coming to his features. The cream colored male paused for a moment, tail waving lightly as his son joined him allowing them to brush shoulders. Of course the old male was delighted to see him, and also gave him a good look over to see how he was doing. He was pretty attentive to any wounds though he didn’t so much as notice the small ones as much as he did the large scars across his back end.

”Dexter!” The old aztec greeted in return giving a small push in return to his son before slowly continuing his walk. There was still a bit of a hitch in his gate where the fight with the black wolfess had left his knee a little messed up and as he got older it became worse and worse. His son asked him how he had been and how Asriel had been. The dusty brown and cream wolf hadn’t actually seen Asriel for more than a few moments for some time. Since hitting his second birthday he became incredibly independent, not even clinging to his mother anymore. ”Me? Doing fine, just moving as much I can. Keep body moving, don’t want to be stiff. Asriel is growing too. More independant, wandering much more. You and Zeltzin did much the same at this age. Learning about world on his own.” He explained though he looked off and thought a little more about it before shaking his head.

There was a scent on him that was unmistakable, his nose twitched slightly though a smile parted his maw. ”You been playing with pack’s little ones?” Dexter made it clear when he was home that he hadn’t had any lady friends, and honestly Coza would have expected to meet any wolfess that maybe have interested him in such a way. Or at least heard about it. Coza wouldn’t have been surprised if Dexter was just playing with pups for the joy of it. It reminded Coza that he had wanted to try and catch something for the mothers and give them their offerings for their family’s and pups futures. The more offerings, the better the pups would grow after all and become great wolves in the future. However, they had come so fast and all at once though he not to mention he was struggling with just hunting for himself without a bit of help now and then that trying to find worthy offerings to them was becoming a problem. Maybe Dexter if he knew the mothers could help him out today?
