He never taught anyone before, but he figured he would just teach her how he was taught. Of course he did some of his own things. He had a Pile of debri and fallen branches that ended up being a giant pile of wood up north towards the tundra. He had strengthened himself by moving it around, breaking branches off when needed and sometimes it took multiple days to move some fallen bits around. Of course some were far from being able to move, ever, even with help, but he did what he could to keep the forest relatively easy to travel through as well as toughen himself up. He wouldn’t make his cousin do that, not unless she wanted, it was just his form of strength training. First though she needed to learn the basics, and the, he guessed they could be called rules, but really they were more the way his father and grandfather believed. No killing, not unless absolutely necessary. She seemed excited though. Her face was lit up, her cheerful bark upon seeing him caused his mismatched eyes to quickly find and set upon her. It was clear they were relatives with their earth and golden tones, it made him all the more excited.

She confirmed quickly that she was indeed Citlalli. He hadn’t had a chance to be around Dexter’s children and he felt bad for it. He wasn’t trying to be indolent wolf, after all everyone in their family was far from, very driven to do something for their home and family, it was just that was it. He was trying to work and help his cousin Zelda as well as his own distraction of imprinting. She spoke in perfect Nahuatl though. She commented on how long his name was and he gave a little chuckle, ”Just call me Teza, pretty much everyone does. Though the Nahuatl language is certainly different than that of the common tongue or latin.” He explained to her, offering her a grin, speaking this time in english. Teza knew three languages thanks to his mother and father. Common tongue, Latin from the Angel side, then of course Nahuatl from the Aztec side. He often could stumble and messed up, but he was pretty calm right now.

”Grandfather and father were my teachers. I will probably teach you how they taught me, though…” He looked her over, noticing how she was thick and stocky, a trait of their family, though he didn’t know her maternal grandmother was also a thick, battle built wolf, she would fit right into training how he had. He might even end up being able to move a little swifter than she could, since he got the Angel leg to his step, but one thing was for sure she certainly would be a powerhouse as she grew. ”You took after our side a lot, so I think I can help.” He said offering her a kind smile. ”So if you want to start today, let’s go to the river that divides us from Spirane.” He said beginning to trot off and head through the forest.

”Everything's okay with your family?” He asked trying to be polite, but he thought his parents might have said that perhaps things were not the norm with her family, but it didn’t mean she wasn't happy.
