He could show Malia because she is quite capable of doing it as werecoyote. He could not show a werewolf how to do it because, as we've seen and been told many times, it is not a learned trait. When has any of that pointed to the fact that werecoyotes can transform more easily than werewolves? We know of two werecoyotes who can do it. And we only know two very well (we really know jack squat about the desert wolf, at this point). That's enough to base a theory from, but definitely not canon. That's like seeing two black cats and assuming all cats are black. Black cats just happen to be common enough for two to be the first cats you ever see. You can't say that black cats are the only color of cats based on that. That's what you've done here.

Also, your entire argument is fairly contradicting of what was said.

Theo - "You want to learn? I could show you."

You - " as we've seen and been told many times, it is not a learned trait."

LOL, what?

It's also never actually never set in stone that it can't be an acquired skill. In fact, as we have seen, a born werewolf wasn't even capable of doing it until he was in his twenties.... but after years of not being able, was suddenly capable of it. Theory on this is that he mastered his werewolf abilities at a finer level. That's....well... learning.

It's also never stated that Theo can only teach her because she is a werecoyote, that they're more comfortable with each other because they're werecoyote, or that he cannot teach werewolves, too. Those are all assumptions, my friend.

As far as your argument that Malia transformed as a child. Yes, she did, out of instinct. People do a wide range of things through instinct that they later cannot replicate deliberately without years of training. So what's your point there, exactly?

Actually, Malia can't transform now, which kind of makes my point.

Regardless of what you believe, you don't know any of this to be true. It's all assumptions. It is not canon.

Could you be coorect? Absolutely. But you don't know that you are.

Feel free to get Jeff Davis to clear it up, because I'm genuinely curious, and I don't think we've had enough information about werewolves and werecoyotes, yet.
