Brotherly - - - love? tolerance?

The pup responded mostly how Az'd expected and he hissed a small noise of discomfort as the puppy teeth came down upon his paw. Immediately he lifted his left, aiming to bring it down upon the pup's snout to dislodge the small jaws. "If I were a coyote or a cougar you'd be dead by now." He commented offhandedly. "Someone grabs you from behind you bite to kill, not.." Sharp gaze moved from his brother down to his paw. He didn't finish his sentence, unable to put words to what sort of pathetic attack the paw bite was. "Gifting someone the back of your neck as a target isn't the greatest idea." One good slap from his bear-like paws and he could break Kotori's neck, especially when his jaws were anchored to Az. His littler siblings were not pushed into the same training that Az and his litter were - what was father doing if not teaching them the basics of self defense?

He released the pup's leg and took a step back, widening his stance and raising his brows towards the boy. "Go ahead, try it again." Az suggested, lifting his chin and looking down his muzzle at the boy. If Kotori didn't learn to fight, that reflected badly upon the Armada. Az would need to do what he could to remedy the situation.
