Sun Mote Copse the fortune lady came along and walked beside,

Niamh's confidence in their decision to allow the kids to leave seemed to cheer Towhee up, and allow her to see that their departure was not the end of the world. They'd be fine- and while Niamh thought Bronco was soft, she also knew that he would lay down his life for Meerkat in an instant, and that she would be safe as long as the two were together. She wasn't sure how she felt about going to see Bronco so soon, but she wasn't going to turn down the opportunity to visit as she knew it might prompt some more questioning about why she'd let Bronco go. Niamh had no idea if Bronco had told anyone about their fight- but given the fact it hadn't come around to her, she suspected he'd kept his trap shut. She wasn't going to bring it up anytime soon, either. 

So she nodded, and smiled faintly. "-Sure. Give 'em some time to settle in an' get some mountain air in them, but whenever you wanna go, I'll go with you.-" She said. While she feared Bronco might not be willing to meet her, or find some excuse to be too busy to greet them, she knew Meerkat had better manners, and that at least she would enjoy the visit. 

The longevity of Towhee's friendship with Hydra made Niamh feel a little bit jealous. She didn't like being compared to other wolves, and preferred to think that they were more or less exclusive to one another- with Phox fitting in somewhere, of course. But if she had to accept the fact that there was another wolf in Towhee's life that she considered to be as close as her, at least she'd chosen one as badass and respectable as Hydra. Niamh would have felt more threatened, definitely had Hydra been a part of their pack as well. But having her at a distance meant that by proxy, she had more person time with her person than her person's other person did and she could deal with that. 

"-I didn't know that,-" she said, nipping playfully at Towhee's ear in response to the jab her ribs had received. Her tone might have portrayed some of her jealousy- but fortunately, she kept the sentiment from her facial expressions, so it would go unnoticed. "-Crazy to think it's been that much time though. Jeez, how long you an' I been trollin' around together?-" She asked.
