Heron Lake Plateau Shadows alive.

Fortunately for them, Quixote was on the same page, so Niamh relaxed slightly. He started off on another topic though, one that rattled Niamh slightly, and unable to pull her own ego from the situation, he assumed that he was referencing her, and how he hd been so adamant that she didn't go and check out the area where Ambrose had battled a cougar. She was lightly offended that he'd bring this up, as she was still gutted, knowing that Ambrose had either died- and she'd done nothing to save him- or he was out there, still wounded. She'd done her fair share of roving the borders and had warned the others about that particular area, lest the cougar strike again, so she had followed his words...But that still didn't make her feel right about the whole thing. 


The only thing she could think about, was that those circumstances seemed to have been weighed by the wolf's worth. Say Towhee went missing- they would then do nothing? Or Raven? She highly doubted that, somehow. Nevertheless, what he was saying was that there needed to be a plan, before action. That could mean that action could be taken- unlike in her brother's case. She would make sure, then, to adhere to what Quixote said, though she was sure she would lobby for action, if the case dictated that it needed to happen. "Will we hold a meeting to discuss that with everyone else in the pack, or will we just go and tell everyone ourselves?" She asked. She was fine seeking others out- but she knew that they might also have questions and it could be easier to handle all of those queries in one fell swoop. "An' I'm happy to pitch in with the self defense lessons," She said, with a mild grin. She shrugged and chuckled softly. "As long as it means I basically get to Nivambush our packmates at any time, for training purposes." It wasn't a bad idea- after all, actually putting those learned skills into motion against another wolf was likely the best way to practice, rather than simply just going through the motions slowly. The element of surprise was what usually could spell the end for someone in self defense, if they didn't respond correctly right off the bat.
