She wanted to insist further than Eljay had made the wrong call- but she knew doing so would probably irritate Towhee, as this would all relate back to her daughter. And Niamh knew that Towhee loved her children; while there were others in existance that Niamh believed Towhee would shun should Niamh imply it happen, she knew that she'd stand little chance in forcing a wedge between Towhee and her children. Not that she wanted to, anyway; she simply wanted to be told that she'd been right. 

-"You mean me an' Eljay or me an' Fennec? 'Cause I never taken issue with either of them...That's why I was askin' if maybe something might've been bothering Fennec, or if something'd happened to make her grumpy while I was away. She's never been like that to me before,"- She clarified. Fennec's behavior had come across as the same sort of impudence that she'd seen in Nellie and Bronco- and had thus been passed off as being little more than the unrefined boldness of someone new to adulthood. 

On the topic of the boy, Niamh shook her head. The questions Bronco had asked about the missing child were tucked safely within a locked chest within her mind. -"Doesn't say much. He's...I think a bit squirrelly about talkin' about what happened to him. I think he'll come around, he just needs to feel comfortable, first."- She explained. She wasn't about to try and force him into answering questions when she felt that doing so might make him refuse to talk- or worse, run away.
