That settled things for Bitterroot. The truth about Catskill convinced her to give Amanita the benefit of the doubt. And if she wanted to see the pony she’d raised from the dead, she was willing to own up to her actions. (Also, it would prove Artemis wrong, which was a plus.) Bitterroot was even willing to bet Amanita was telling the truth about the other mare. She stood up. “Come on,” she said. “We’re going back to town. I don’t think you deserve to die. You can explain yourself and we’ll put it to a vote.” Conveniently, their bounty group plus Catskill made an odd number of ponies.
