Heron Lake Plateau Give the girl a gold star

They began to walk, and for a bit, Niamh turned a blind eye to the way Towhee's leg refused to function properly. It hurt Niamh to see Towhee like that, but she did her best not to show it. Besides, it was Towhee- there wasn't a thing on the planet that could get her down and keep her down, right? As much as Niamh considered herself to be invincible, Towhee, she considered to be on a completely other level of invincibility. 

"I'm not sure." She said. "Apparently there were fucktonnes of DeMontes at one time. One branch of the family kind of renounced the name, though, but I can't remember why. I think maybe the Dad was a bit of a deadbeat or something so the kids took a different name. But like you, they all had bird names too." She said. Her side of the family, of course, didn't take on the bird names- aside from one who'd been named Blackbird. The rest had names Niamh had always considered to be slightly pretentious. 

"Of course you'll be Godmother. Haven't asked Colt yet, but he'll just have to deal with that." She said. There was certainly no way she was going to have Finley be the Godmother- but then again, the relationship between Colt and Towhee was just as interesting, if not moreso, than the relationship between Niamh and Finley. "Uhm....I don't think so," She answered, and cracked a grin. "I dunno if the pack can handle another Blackthorn woman." She said. "Maybe I'll get Colt to take my last name, or something; I dunno. I hadn't really thought about it, I guess," She answered with a shrug.
