Los had never thought about being a father. It wasn't that he didn't want to be one, the thought had literally never crossed his mind. Sure, he knew where pups came from and how they were made, but his mind was always on other things. More interesting things. Like the pride he was a part of and what he could do to further their power.
The first pups he had were a surprise. The second litter, a bit younger than the first, had been planned. Still, he had to be reminded daily that he had pups to look after. They were odd little things, and he swore he'd never been so helpless in his life. Thankfully they were starting to grow and mature, and he didn't have to keep an eye on them every second of the day. It allowed him to take care of his own business, like finding slaves that were ducking their duties and teach them a lesson. Ah...it was his favorite part of this pride. He got to bite and tear and scratch and snarl and it was his job.
Today, though, everyone seemed to be on their best behavior. Los was incredibly bored and wished for something to happen. Perhaps he'd check in on his pups...he did need to raise them with the proper mindset, after all. They were to be proud and strong but still take orders, and some of them, he noticed, were getting a bit unruly. That wouldn't do. His mind made up, he set off to try to find at least one of his offspring. They were slippery little hyenas, his pups.

Los smirked just a bit as the pup insisted he could do it on his own. Good. Independence was something he prided himself on, and now his pups. He wasn't a female, after all. He had no maternal instinct to coddle or nuzzle when there were injuries or setbacks. He wanted to sit aside and watch his children struggle, but succeed. Learning life lessons at this age was good. Those that didn't...well. They were slaves now.
Once Tesak broke free from his prison and snarled at the skull, Los gave an eerie cackle that only hyenas could do. "Good job," he praised, shifting to stand and move to the pup's side, giving his shoulder a shove with his paw. "You've defeated your first challenger, Tesak. I think you'll be able to use a living opponent next time," he added, the teasing tone clear in his voice.
