Oh. I was First of my clan till I left to do this, and if my former Keeper has any problem with this, she can bite me.

And you've got it the wrong way round. When you're Keeper, or First, your whole existence surrounds your clan. Whether it's magic or not. If old Anan doesn't have children to take care of him, it's the Keeper or their apprentices who'll trim his toenails and give him a sponge-bath. You...fill in gaps. Anything people are doing without, you step in and help.
