When Clover bustled away, Towhee quirked a brow and stared after her. She should really just let her go, she knew. She was curious about where Nellie had been all this time and how she was doing, particularly when the exchange between Phox and Nellie included talk of secrets. That was pretty intriguing.

But it was really niggling at her, so Towhee couldn't resist saying, "I'm glad you're back too, Nellie. I bet Niamh and Bronco are both shitting kittens." That came out a little distractedly before she confessed, "I'm gonna go after Clover. I have a bone to pick with her. I'll catch you both later." She gave her brother a meaningful look, Nellie a quick smile, and then departed after the Blackthorn.
