I imagine so. I remember him when he was a boy; don't know what he's much like now, but he always had a big heart. There was a time he found an injured shemlen girl in the woods and brought her back to the camp to try to get her healed. The Hunters chased the girl out the next morning. I suspect that girl probably didn't live much longer from the burns I saw.
But that wasn't what caused them to part ways.
For awhile, there was a popular slave trade route north of here. Flat-ears from the cities were marched off to be sold. Tobrevas wanted to stop them. Keeper Shoshanna told him to leave it be.
He didn't listen. It wasn't the first time he hadn't paid her any heed, but that was the last time. He tried to free the slaves and nearly paid the price for it. The Hunters made sure he escaped, but there were injuries.
They argued, as they often did. Keeper Shoshanna couldn't control him, her First. Some said he loved everything outside the clan more than his own family, but I saw a boy who wanted to do the right thing. The Keeper banished him from the clan, maybe out of frustration, maybe because she didn't know what else to do with him. Hard to say.
