As far as Tikki is concerned, the truth of what Castellano says goes without 
question. He’s proven himself too many times. There are no lies in Castellano’s
world. There may be half-truths and shades of gray, but he can smell a lie even 
as it is born, and he cannot tolerate the stink. He has the instincts of a 
hunter. He has the senses of a wolven Were.
