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

Just gonna tidy this up now that she's like...Officially here and all :3

Niamh was still hurt that Nellie had opted to keep her existance a secret from her, lest Niamh- as whatever clingy, desperate mother Nellie saw her to be- find out where she was and drag her home or chew her out for leaving. She felt like dragging her daughter around the borders of the pack by her golden ears simply so that she knew where the borders were, and that she was not to leave the pack again...But that impulse was simply from hurt and betrayal, and she realized, of course, that Nellie might have been right. Niamh might not have simply let her live with the Frosthawks had she known that she'd run off to join them. No one would ever know what would have happened- but there was more than one possibility. 

Bronco, at least, seemed overjoyed and without judgement, which eased the tension of the situation, and Niamh found herself at least temporarily putting her broken ego on hold and joined the two, growling affectionately at both of them as she joined the duo, giving them each a fond kiss on the head. They'd both been such horribly difficult children- from her headstrong, anti-authoritarian son to her runaway daughter who thought she was a clingy, overbearing witch of a mother. But they were her children- and she loved them regardless. And now she had them both, living, breathing and well, back in the nest.
