Towhee paid careful attention to Niamh's rebuttal, though that pinched look returned to her face. Cleaning a wound didn't require a lot of knowledge, just a gentle tongue. Towhee absolutely believed Fennec was capable of this task, perhaps even more so than a sighted wolf, as the Sovereign assumed she possessed a heightened sense of touch. She wondered if Niamh didn't think Fen capable of it due to said blindness, which of course riled her. But the Regent never specifically inferred this, so if that's what was at play, maybe it wasn't even conscious on her part.

It sounded like they'd both overreacted to the situation, with Niamh throwing the first punch, so to speak, by blocking Fennec from doing what Eljay had asked of her. Towhee drew in a breath, trapped it in her chest, and sighed. Of course, Fen shouldn't have disrespected Niamh in turn. Towhee liked to think she could see both points of view and she really wanted to avoid choosing sides. She just wanted to understand what had happened and whether it was a one-time incident or something that could really strain the Firebirds' family dynamics.

She knew them both too well. -"Can you tell me what exactly is going on with Rasalas? How did he get injured? Where is he from? Has he told you anything...?"-
