She shuffled her weight a bit, trying to get a bit more comfortable while laying on top of the frozen rabbit, but her ears flicked forward at the mention of her sweet son's name. Prim...Why was Towhee asking her where Prim was- was he not in the packlands? Or had he gone on a trip somewhere? She hadn't taken direct notice of him or his absence since the cougar attack. He was a lovely boy, and she absolutely adored him- but she did sometimes zone out when he went on with his stories, only adding an occasional nod or hum to let him know she was 'listening.' Niamh wasn't a good listener- but she also didn't like to admit it. It was quite possible he'd mentioned going off to visit a friend, and she'd likely have replied with something along the lines of yes dear, that sounds lovely. Realizing now that Towhee seemed to know more about where her son had gone off to than she did, she felt guilty; but she wasn't about to admit it or show it. She was reassured that at least Towhee seemed to know where he was. Niamh had been too preoccupied not only with the cougar attack, but with the fact that she'd finally gotten revenge on Kiwi.
"Primrose gets distracted so easily, I think it's just going to become a 'thing' where it takes him a bit longer to come back whenever he goes somewhere." She admitted. "He'll tell stories to a listening ear until the herds migrate back." Her son could charm snowflakes into becoming petals if he wanted to. She also figured that while Primrose might not have known well enough not to travel during a snowstorm, then whoever he was with would keep him safe.
Still- she didn't enjoy the little bit of shame she felt, realizing that in all the commotion, she'd potentially lost track of her son. She hated the thought that she'd potentially lost sight of him the same way the pack had lost track of Alyx during the deluge. She also didn't like the very real idea that Towhee had presented that he might get lost in the storm, if he was away- so she sought to redirect their discussion, so she might not get forced to admit that she didn't actually know where Prim was. And with a topic jump like the one she had, she doubted Towhee would bring Prim up again.
"I wasn't sure how to bring this up," She said, haltingly. This wasn't much easier than it was, admitting that she had no clue where Primrose was. "But the wolf that I fought with- it's the same one that attacked Fennec." She said. That was a start, at least.
