Heron Lake Plateau your shadow weighs a ton

She stared back at Screech as Niamh scolded her.  All she'd wanted was an apology, but it just looked as if once again Niamh was going to pretend that Ceara was the only one who'd done any wrong.  Even if she admitted she had overreacted, the main focus was on Ceara and how much she'd fucked up.  

All I'd intended on doing was dropping off the duck.  Dude startled me by being, I dunno, awake.  I think we both overreacted.  She gave a stiff shrug of her shoulders.  And I had stopped by just to drop off more food.  I didn't intend on sticking around but wonder boy over there launched himself at the duck and almost choked himself to death.  So I'm sorry that I encroached on your space, but I didn't want to leave him there.. you know.. just choking.

She tensed internally for a second.  I don't know.  Maybe you could move him somewhere more communal that he's being more coherent.  That way you can have your own space to decompress, and you don't have to worry about his visitors.  She was worried that somehow that was going to get twisted around too, like she was saying something she wasn't.. but really, she was trying to save Niamh (and herself) some more headache.  Just a thought.  Not a demand or anything.
