Sun Mote Copse Let this moment be the first chapter: where you decide to stay

Niamh's daughter had become an accident-prone, independent little disaster, and Nellie herself was fine with her being like this. She knew she had hurt Niamh, but treating her like a little kid wasn't gonna help anything - Nellie felt grown up and ready to take on the world on her own, even if she really wasn't - she didn't need a hover parent, she needed a friend she could confide in. The past moons Niamh just didn't feel like the mother to understand what she was struggling with, and even now she was proving that point.

Luckily those emotions were masked by the joy seeing her brother again brought, even if his slobber stained her fur. Wasn't planning on it, ya fopdoodle. She said with a wink, offering him nuzzles in return.
