    Summary

    The Metkayina are a perceptive people; they watch with greater focus than the Omatikaya or humans. They pay attention to small nuances in both the people and their surroundings. They understand the water and it's creatures because they grow up taking in information most people might not even notice.

    To them Spider is new and strange; so they watch him. They worry that he will be cruel, set their Maruis on fire, or attack their ilu. What they find out is that this boy is actually quite intelligent, tireless, and always trying to help; a promising young warrior. He does more chores in the village than any other youth. He seeks to not hold a weapon and is always around when more help is needed. He gathers, weaves, and hunts for the clan. He provides.

    But he is also clearly very lonely. He cares for others- but no one cares for him. The Sullies are not his family, so... The boy is free to join another? Right? And who wouldn't want another child, especially such a mentally strong one.
