Gabriel had been the one to adamantly refuse any sort of humanization first; he had even been wary of the building, though many of the clan found it suitable as a home. Ezekiel, who was more progressive than his father, saw the value in keeping things for their use. It would not severely change them; horses made travel easier, and keeping animals for food meant that they did not always need to rely on often unpredictable hunting.

It went without saying he was glad that someone else would take up training with Max. He was used to having the boy as his pupil, but there needed to be another. Halo was busy with Helotes, as far as Ezekiel knew, and he did not press her for much these days. As long as she remained ready to fight for the clan, he would not exile her as was his right. Especially not now, with her children…

There was a millisecond for him to react. Ezekiel saw the change on her face—saw it as clear as day—but she was fast. He took one step back and, rather than grapple for her, smacked away the hands with one arm. The second shot out in a short jab, knuckles curled, aiming for her nose. It was a cheap shot, really, but it would be painful if it connected. One foot swung up, bringing his knee towards her gut.
