Sun Mote Copse What a fool believes

Niamh was not content with the fact that Phox not only defended his choice, but that he refused to apologize to her for having made that decision. She wanted more from him than just silence. Maybe he was happy with the decision he'd made- maybe he adamently felt it was the right one...But everything about it still felt wrong to Niamh, and she had never been one to keep her trap shut when she felt that an injustice had occurred. 

Once the silence between them had gone on long enough, she spoke. "Guess you just like my daughter better'n me, then," She said, implying that his choice had been made not at all because of his faith to promise-keeping, but due to the fact that he failed to over-ride his promise with morals, than might have otherwise urged him to at least let her know her daughter wasn't dead. The high road was not one Niamh tended to take. "I'll thank you to wait at least until she reaches adult age. Even then I wouldn't advise that you come looking to me for consent," Added the increasingly petty woman.
