Ember had given him some joking words that had hit the ears of the German. Cotl let a wicked smile rest on his lips, a normal occurrence for the woman, simply because Cotl did not know how to smile innocently at all. It wasn't in his nature to put on an innocent smile, simply because there was no innocence left within Cotl Ulrich, even though...Well, Cotl didn't think that there was any innocence left. He merely believed that he was born evil. He'd been forced to believe that since he was a pup, so why the hell not? Cotl held that wicked grin there on his lips as he had taken a few more steps forward to actually give the woman a hug. When he'd come within a close proximity of the woman he would wrap his rusted arms around the woman's shoulders and he pulled her in to where their bodies touched, rust and ebon fur mingling for that good hug that he would give to her. "Dere, das betters?-FUCKSHIZNIT-" the man would ask, same grin on those lips as he had looked at her with his bi-colored eyes, and he had taken a step back, letting the embrace fade away and dropping his hands down to his sides to let the hang there loosely. Maschine had taken a few steps forward and he threw his head up at the woman and greeted her with a whinny and a horsey smile. It's nice to see you again Ember! the stallion called out to the woman.

The woman would then go on about what happened, but not particularly what he was talking about. She had spoken about "puppies" and how they were dead, inbred and spawn of a demon wolf. Demon wolf? Did she mean the one who started the war between Dahlia and Inferni? The woman would also tell him about how she did not want to really get into that. 'Curiosity killed the Cotl' is how the saying should have gone considering on how much he wanted to ask about what exactly she was talking about. He wondered when she even got pregnant, and how she would know, simply because they did have an escapade a while back.. Apparently the children weren't his because she had said something about some other wolf. It didn't kill his curiosity too much. He still wanted to ask, but the man also wanted to respect the woman's wishes. Instead, he pulled a wicked grin back on his face (it'd faded into a frown as she had told him the news and he thought about how he wanted to ask questions) and he twitched his neck to the right and cleared his throat.

"Ich vasn't so much askings about das, -IDOKOKAIN-I vants knows vhats happens to piercings. Dey look ripped out, did someone hurts you Ember?" he ended up asking questions anyways, him not even bothered by the fact that she might decide to lie to him about the piercings and what happened to them. He also would honor her two questions she had given to him just after he cleared his throat harshly. "Ich founds outs dat ich has ein son, daughter, und ein niece und nephew. Mein son und mein nephew are en Inferni. -GOSUCKABIGFATDICK- Ich gots promoted to Caelum from Imaginifer...uhmm.. " the man spoke to the woman, telling her what all has been going on and reminding himself of how much Izaak had been bothering him lately, while his silent son, Sascha, was just that; silent. He also trailed off, thinking about what else he had done in the last few months that she had been in the absence of him. "Ja, Ich stays out auf troubles." the man had spoken to the woman as he had crossed his hands over his broad chest. "vould du likes to joins mich en die mansion fur lunch?" he randomly asked as he had motioned towards the forest where his traps would be placed for him to clean out still.

"speech" Maschine

Maschine would give a prompt nod of his massive head to the black wolfess as she had told him that it had been nice to see him again. Maschine was happy to see Ember, for she had been the wolf to tend to the herd he was born in, so she had always been there for the horses, and she was able to talk to them, unlike the coy-dog that traded some piercings for the stallion. He was not mad that he was given to Cotl though, for the male was a good companion, even if he was weird and twitchy. Maschine gave a happy nod before looking back at Cotl with his blue eyes. Cotl was looking at Ember, waiting for her explanation of her ripped piercings. When she did explain, he found the explanation to be viable in a weird, female way. Cotl honestly would never rip out his piercings if he was angry. He'd have to be on some hardcore drugs to even think about ripping his piercings out. For one, he loved the shit out of his rings, and for two, Cotl was not so much into the pain he would have to bare when such things would be ripped out like that. Cotl shrugged his broad shoulders and gave a frown. He did not speak though, finding nothing needing to be said about such thing. Cotl let the silence drop between them before the woman would continue about Sascha, asking what he was like, how often Cotl hung around Sascha. Ich sees ihr every morning. Every nacht. -COCKFACELIAR- He's ein very quiets. He kann nicht speaks. Someding happens to his throats. he spoke to the woman, his left ear twitched as he turned his head briefly towards the mansion. Cotl thought about the untold things that he had witnessed weeks earlier between his son and his brother/cousin, but he'd prefer that those things were kept in the dark about the family, because that was not something that Cotl would even want to begin to explain.

His name ist Sascha. -NYEH-He travels here froms mein home, Deutschland. Ich nicht knows dat Ich had ein kinder. Cotl would speak, his neck giving a good twitch before he held his eyes on the black and brown wolfess. He looked in her acid green eyes, just to look there, a pause for a moment, just to look at her for no reason other than to really just look. Perhaps he was trying to see into her soul or something. The fire-ice eyes of his would move off of her when she would ask the differences between the two ranks he had switched from. Imaginifer ist die artist of die clan.-FUCKSHITFACE- Caelum ist die lead scout. the man would speak to the woman before she would take him up on his offer to go to the mansion and go eat some food. He would motion for her to follow, and he would start to walk away from her, deciding not to ride and to just walk with Ember instead. Maschine would follow behind the two, lazily following them really, not worrying about the two disappearing too much.

Cotl would lead the three animals to the traps he had set, and skilled fingers would take the prey that had been caught (or just the tripped wires) and unwrap and fix the traps back up, ready for the next meal that he would get from them. Cotl showed his skill fearlessly with the woman, letting her know that he knew many things besides just tattooing and piercing. What kind of 'yote would he be if he couldn't hunt anyways? He wouldn't be much of a dog either. He'd be a failure to the canid species. Cotl didn't need that on his chest. He'd caught only four rabbits this time, enough for the family, but no extra. Cotl would think hard about it, and then decided that Marik or Izaak could find their own food, or he could catch something later for them hopefully. He wasn't too worried about sharing with Ember and not with his family for once. So once they were done walking around to look at traps that were on the way to the mansion, Cotl would lead Ember and Maschine to the gate of the mansion, push it open, and leave it open when everyone as inside, and then he'd trot up to the door. Maschine would run off to munch on some roots towards the pond. Once Cotl was on the porch, he looked at Ember and then he opened the door for her. After du. the man spoke, not failing to clear his throat roughly after he had spoken.
