The Chief walked until she arrived in front of Rezen and she stared at him with a complicated glint in her eyes
Rezen's presence is no doubt risky to the tribe but at the same time, he is necessary. Before the tribe could nourish another Junior Mage, each and every member of the tribe is more precious than normal, especially the abled ones

As such, while Rezen's presence is a threat, he is also necessary. Not to mention, if he really was from a bigger tribe and the tribe shooed him away, that might just bring catastrophe to them. This situation made the Chief feel conflicted inside
