Then again his actions aren't exactly a story of sunshine and happiness either

Ulilohi could respect most intentions, most wolves; it came easy to her to treat others with kindness, even when such kindness seemed undeserved. Still, she had trouble respecting someone who would not respect her. Was Matteo innocent? His pleading for his case made it seem as if he was convinced that he had done nothing wrong, and it angered her. He was delusional if he thought that his only offense here was to assault Anatole, and even so, this was a major crime. Still, she would try treat him with more respect than he had shown his home. The truth, however, had to be put forth. Even if he claimed he had not spied for them, how could she believe anything else? He had not given her enough reasons to trust her. "It is good that you admit your assault, but you are not being entirely truthful, Matteo." She spoke carefully, looking only at him, and with an expression of sadness in her face. Even if her heart hardend at the thought of what he had done to her tribe - his own family - she did not enjoy this task. She probably never would enjoy this task, warrior or no. Suffering had and would come from it, but she could do her best to limit its reach. Laws were in place for protection, and this one did not understand how fragile the protection his tribe was currently under.
"Do you deny that you have been untruthful? That you sought a home here, never mentioning the troubles you were accused of in Anathema? That you hid here, and that leadership from your previous home came seeking you? We protected you, sheltered you and your mate from harm, and you repaid us with shaming us. Us, and your mate." She paused, glancing at the other tribesmembers. In truth, she was more nervous than she should be, but her outside calm demeanor held fast. "You traveled to Inferni and named yourself AniWayan, and offered to sell out your former home, Anathema - this much you have admitted. But tell me - how can these actions convince me that you are a truthful person? You would stab your old home in the back, hide from crime under false pretenses, and attack one of our long-standing family members. Such actions do not speak in your favor, Matteo. They say that you are not to be trusted. Our tribe wants and desperately need peaceful recovery, and you bring turmoil to our borders. It is a disgrace." Her last utterance was no question, but a definite statement. Even if he was truthful, and had never spied on AniWaya, he had still given Ulilohi no reason to trust him to be around her tribe. Her heart went out to Gemma, but for now she had to be the leader of the situation. Their children may lack a father, but better lack a father than to have one so wicked as this one.
