Sun Mote Copse times are changing

Niamh chuckled when Eljay whirled around to see her. Yeh, that was typical Eljay- he probably startled as easily as a partridge did. She lowered her head apologetically, though, as she had no hard feelings toward him, even though she did think that he was perhaps a bit too soft. She knew, though, that that was something she lacked- so she wasn't perfect either, and could learn a lot from his patience, humility and gentleness. To his question she paused to shake herself, ridding her coat of a few small droplets of ice, but the rest of her furtips remained frozen. 

"Had a bit of an argument with the creek over a frozen fish," She said with a chuckle. While she was aware that frozen creeks, lakes and rivers were dangerous, she'd been careful to make sure at least that she'd not been trying to break through ice that was above water too deep for her to handle. "Just scraped it." She said, lifting her leg for him to see, before glancing over her shoulder to see Kiwi making her way toward them. Her tail waved from side to side, happy to see the youngster again. She cracked a proud grin at the feisty girl. "Heya toughgirl," She said, giving her a rogueish wink. She was aware that Kiwi, like her mother and Sequoia, were still grieving the loss of Bat. Niamh didn't have the words to say that would make anything better, but in the very least she could attempt to provide a distraction. "Was hoping we could do more lessons soon. I think my ribs are back where they're meant to be by now," She said, before shrugging. "If you're into that." Because of course, she was a cool kid, and might not have wanted to look too excited about anything.
