Kekata is an old man; he has seen a hundred births and marriages and has seen many young strong young warriors and hearty women die under his hands. One way or another, his wisdom and his experience contribute to the life of the tribe. Every member is important, a crucial part of the lifeblood of his people, and that is how he treats them.
Still. Whenever he sees Powhatan return victorious, his heart is far easier than mere relief could supply. Whenever he treats his chief, he is a little more careful, a little more tender, than he is even to the smallest children. He knows how essential his chief is, how he must naturally be considered still more vital to his people, yet at the same time knows his chief doesn't need the gentleness, that he is a warrior and a leader and consequently the most resilient of them.
But he always tries to take care of the man who takes care of them all.
