Niamh listened to her friend, hearing him out and all she could gather from the situation was maybe there was more to Blackbear’s story than she’d said, but that it wasn’t likely something Niamh would have to be concerned about. Tegan seemed to know Blackbear fairly well, and was really trying to be diplomatic with how he was talking to her about her decision. She didn’t regret interrogating Blackbear- she’d crumpled under a tiny bit of stress, and who was to say she wouldn’t do the same again at a crucial moment and let the pack down...Still, the loss of her father must have been hard, and Niamh could empathize when she wanted to. 

Towhee, apparently, had chased Blackbear off once before, which caused Niamh to frown; what would Towhee think if she’d allowed Blackbear to join? Then again, Colt had been tossed out of the pack and then invited back by Quixote, and now the two of them were cool, so the rift between Towhee and Blackbear could likely be mended as well. 

”I can’t honestly just take back all I’ve said, and the judgement call...And I still have a hard time believing all her credentials, ‘cause I just can’t imagine a blind wolf being any good at hunting...But I get the feeling she’s probably not a bad wolf. I don’t know where she’s gone...But if she’s willing to take on a task to prove herself, I’d give her a chance.” She said.
