He had achieved the rank he wanted, a champion of Taviora, someone to get out there and help protect those wolves that they could, not just in Taviora, but all Moladion. He could come and go, had freedom to make choices where he needed diplomacy, though he was a little uncertain if he would do those sorts of things, Teza was happy that Zelda was relying on him more and not hiding him in the safe confines of the forest to protect him. That was what their family was about after all, protecting others, and helping when they could. His mother’s side also was good in nature, he had heard much about his grandmother Isola, as well as Heyel and various other family members that his mother had been close to. Though, that wasn’t exactly many. His mother had left at a young age after all, and Tepi had apparently taken much more after their angel blood than he had, and him and his cousin were like earth and sky.

He knew even that some of his angel family, though distant, also lived here. His mom’s cousin, and then his kids to make it confusing. Teza hadn’t gotten to know many of them, he knew a few by face, but they were older or younger than he was. The oldest litter being two years older and the younger being four years younger. A large enough gap that they had friends their ages and were separated mostly by the time they found their paths. Sure Zaphkiel had also been a Warrior, but Teza and him rarely crossed paths. It wasn’t that he tried too, it was just different part of the lands, different general lives they carried out and again the small age gaps that mattered less as you got older yet, by then made it hard to find a places in already made friendships. Starfall also was a relative too, he and Zaphkiel apparently were brothers, but not from Isola, but her brother Azrael, so again a bit more distant, and he only really knew that information because they lived amongst Taviora. It was said that family could be distinguished by their ‘star marked’ pelts, and it was for certain that Starfall, Zaphkiel and almost all their children had such markings.

It was probably good of him though to eventually talk and meet with him, though that hadn’t been the purpose of his wandering today fate seemed to have something else in store the bulky male. He was actually on the way to the borders to patrol for the day and part of him wondered if he would run into Shem again. It was early though, and Tezcacotl had to wonder if many would be out. Thankfully the deluge of rain was missing from this morning patrol, something he was blessing the heavens above for, but something else unexpected was he spotted the mostly black male sunbathing not far away. Teza paused, recognizing the fellow packmate as one of said distant angel relatives. Even from here Teza could make out the little red flecks, the ‘star markings’ that particular side of the angel family was known for.

”Good morning.” Teza greeted politely, his tail waving and a friendly smile on his maw, mismatched eyes going to meet equally mismatched of the other, slightly older, male’s. He wasn't’ about to bother the male, but something about his visage made him looked troubled, Teza assumed he could call it. Teza tilted his head, frowning slightly, he was… very bad at hiding his emotions, as many on the Aztec side had been, looking puzzled and concerned both. ”Something troubling you?” He moved a bit closer, really they were like night and day build wise, but he was family too, and while Teza perhaps wasn’t as close with him as many of his Aztec side, he was family and Teza wanted to help him if he could, just like how he wanted to help Shem too. All the while though the warm smile and face of the male had returned, his tail still waving loosely at his brown heels, he would depart if he was okay, it was just he didn’t want to leave the him alone if there was something bothering him.
