For Towhee, whispering was a challenge Niamh didn’t think she necessarily mastered. Not only was she not quite quiet enough, but the tone of her voice evened out, making it harder to understand the words she was saying. Niamh gritted her teeth and plaintively regarded Towhee with this expression hoping it might prompt her to speak a bit more quietly. But she found she couldn’t simply turn an ear to Towhee and listen- her whispered words were even more garbled than they were when she decided to speak loudly and clearly, but she was able to get the majority of the message. She looked Apple over, realizing that this was the wold both Phox and Rory had mentioned over a week ago. She hadn’t simply been mentioned in passing, though- Rory and Phox had mentioned her because she’d been a part of the wolves gathering in the Shadewood. Niamh became suspicious.

”She used to be with the wolves gathering in Shadewood,” She echoed the narrator, for the benefit of the other characters. Her eyes flicked to Rory for confirmation, and she wished Phox was there to back her up. Right now, it wasn’t her current condition that bothered Niamh, it was that fact that she could possibly be a spy. ”What of them? Two of our wolves saw you with them,” She said, hoping that if Apple was here to spy that she might fess up. She looked to Towhee then, and using ptero- which she sincerely hoped Apple wouldn’t understand- she signed -Looks healthy enough but could use a check-up from Raven to see if she’s OK upstairs. May need to be watched for a few days...- Niamh said. Like Towhee, she was also cautious of taking in another concussed wolf, given the way Screech had turned out. All in all, in Niamh’s opinion, things weren’t in Apple’s favour. She frowned softly, and understood now why Towhee was having a tough time with this one. Apple was technically family, but she was also potentially both a spy, a traitor and a danger to their well-being if she had a violent episode.
