#not to say he didn't throw the world's hugest fit when he was told he couldn't get his Adinen Tumblr posts

Hilarious how Liruk defends Kadu’s behaviour whenever he attacks one of his brothers or how he allows Kadu to only do hunting and else when he tries to get out of the other chores. Yet Kadu screwed up his nameday so bad it looks like he’s not allowed another try and may never get his own territory.

Yep! Kadu's the favorite. I think if you asked Liruk and Datee about the situation, they'd gripe about it not being fair because humans are so wimpy! It's not his fault his artist didn't survive! He should get to have his Adinen ceremony anyway! But the community is staunchly opposed because it's clear as soon as Kadu has a modicum of authority he'll become a huge liability.

I doubt Kadu cares all that much anymore, though. He's living in his mom's basement and eating whatever he wants. He doesn't have to worry about fiddly things like parasite load in the local deer population or tracking forest succession or tending food gardens. Managing a territory is a big responsibility. He just likes hunting stuff and being a menace.
