He was just heading back from his border patrol when he heard a howl at the borders. His ears perked as he glanced over towards the plains, a single brow raising. Was that a gentleman caller for Finch? Out of all his kids, he didn't think that Finch would be the first one to get paired up. Of course, it could very well just be a friend. However, the aging gentleman turned towards the male with a sly grin on his maw. He didn't get the chance to embarrass his kids too much, and this was too perfect an opportunity. Besides, he needed to check this fellow out. Bass' pace was quick as he cut his way towards the end of the plains, trying to beat his daughter.
Spotting the rather large form of the stranger, he slowed down as his head and tail rose high. It was hard to keep a smile off of his face, but he did his very best to fix him with a hard stare. "Can I help you?" he asked in a gruff voice, closing the distance to stand in front of the boy. Even though he was shorter, he still looked up at him without a care in the world. He could smell Fiori on him, and realized that this was the man that Finch had gone to say hello to at the festival. His inky lips twitched as they threatened to break out into a smirk, but he was able to keep a rather stoic look on his face. Hopefully he would have some time to interrogate the lad before Finch showed up.
