Sun Mote Copse [BWP] There's a method to the madness

Sorry for the extreme delay! We can wrap this up whenever/however you want! <3

When Niamh began to confess, none of it surprised Elwood. It all made sense; things had been slowly unraveling for her for some time, resulting in her unrest and unhappiness here with the Firebirds. Not only had her mate died, but her daughter had taken off on her own, and her son was growing up. Bronco moving out wasn't unheard of, but he could see how it was especially painful after the loss of Niamh's other family members.

She revealed that she had wanted to move to Asterism Grove, but it hadn't worked out. Ultimately, in a few months' time, Towhee would end up here at the copse -- but neither Elwood or Niamh could know that now. "I understand," he said, and while it may have been hard for her to believe, he truly did. He frowned. "Ultimately, you have to make the decision that's best for you; even if Towhee told you that you should stay here, if you really want to be there with her, you should go. We'll support you in whatever you do. We may not always feel like your family, but we are," he added, his furrowed brow softening into a faint smile.
