The boy was not a stupid boy, for a child abused as he was and kept from the knowledge that pups would learn from their mothers he was actually quire smart. But then the pup needed no mother, Inferni was his teacher and guide, its members soon to be his brothers and sister as they all fought to keep the clan safe from those who would threaten them. It was that thought that kept the pup pushing his body past where any other would have given up, unknowing that the very woman who he wanted to prove useful to was watching him with her bloodied gaze and assuming mind.
As the woman came out from within the mansion still Makhesthai did not notice her presence although the feeling of being watched, one that he could trace well back into his younger days even before he had opened his eyes, prickled over his shoulders in awareness. Before Maki could twist around to see who it was, the rush of air let him know that some part of an anatomy was speeding towards his body. He let go of the branch with the intent to dodge by dropping but the fist still caught him in the side and sent the boy spinning away from the tree. The coybrid child twisted his body around to face his attacker, falling back into a stance that could only be described as defensive with his hands raised up as though to protect himself and was surprised to find Miss Halo the one who had struck him while he had been training himself.
The pup immediately bowed in respect to the fierce sub leader although still holding himself at the ready for another attack, Halo did not do anything without a reason and Maki assumed this was something she was teaching him.
"Ma'am." The word was not a question, it was a statement, a simple acknowledgement that she was here and he had noticed her and a mesure of respect
