 She told Ruatapu they were her relatives, not her husbands, and that they were looking after her and the child.After Ruatapu had fallen asleep in their house, the warriors confessed to Te Kaumarokura that they feared him - surely he must be a great ariki, or even an atua, and begged her to not tell him what they did to his son, to which she agreed, so he could not avenge his son's death.The next morning, Ruatapu enquired about his son's death and whether he could take the child with him.
