He can't talk much either because of his hybrid status and so cannot interact easily with others. He is treated kindly by his adopted family, though, and eventually with Ayla's help, he learns how to communicate non-verbally and is accepted by the whole Lion Camp.

It's mentioned that although Talut enjoys having casual sex with other women at Summer Meetings (which isn't frowned upon in his culture), it's Nezzie he loves and he's devoted to her and their family. Notably, he agreed to let Nezzie adopt Rydag despite the Mamutoi generally looking upon children of mixed spirits as abominations, and he's quick to defend Nezzie if anyone makes insulting remarks about her. They're also noted to have an active sex life, with Ayla overhearing them making love one night.

* BlackGalOnWhiteGuyDrama: Initially, the Aterian people - who are predominantly black - didn't care about European Wymez settling down and having a child with one of their women, and welcomed him into community.

Despite Wymez trying to help resolve things diplomatically, assholes on both sides kept provoking each other and pushing for violence.
