For once, Niamh hadn't actually intended to imply something with her question, and she was caught off guard when Towhee seemed to stiffen at the question, as though she felt Niamh was trying to lay blame on her.

Seemed out of place for her to be so teenage-rage-y; I just wanted to know if there was something that might've happened that I should be a bit more...Aware of...Though it seems, maybe, she's just being teenager-y?"- She asked, raising her eyebrows.

That concerns me,"- She said.
