And if home screams to me

Bass' ears flicked back to his skull as a large amount of information was dumped on him at once. He was still trying to process the poison when he barreled on, his brows knitting together as he tried to catch up. Finally he lifted a paw to silence the boy, it was too much all at once. So someone was poisoned and Karabela left? And wait, Chaos Saxe? One of Valentine's children? He was the one with the large teeth if he remembered right, he had had quite the lisp when they met. All those teeth in there, no doubt he did. And Daegmar? Wasn't that the one that Raba had come to him that was missing? With his head spinning he was silent for quite awhile, to the point where he missed that Qualm had said that he had loved the woman. He spoke of home and of wolves leaving, what in the world was going on here? Firmly he shook his head, his yellow eyes clouded as he tried to make heads or tails of this situation. "Thank you for telling me all of this, but it would be Chaos' place as pack leader to come to others with this type of information. We may have been on common grounds, but that still doesn't make it right to spread news that they may or may not have wanted to be shared. Don't speak of this to anyone else until Chaos comes to me, understood? It's not your place." Perhaps his tone was a little harsh, but he was still trying to break down the layers here. It sounded like they knew who had poisoned her, and Bass wondered if this was the same wolf who harmed Finch. They were never sure if it had been something that she had ingested of if Finch really was force fed something. But his daughter never remembered who it was, she blacked out and had crazy nightmares for awhile.

Blowing out a huff of air, his features softened a bit as he looked towards Qualm. He had lived here for so long, but this wasn't his home anymore. He had chosen to leave and join Karabela, to drop loyalty so quickly was a bit alarming. "Why didn't you choose to stay with Chaos? He's a good kid from what I remember, and if Karabela trusted him enough to take over then she must have faith in the boy. Well... man now. So why come here? You might have been born here, but you chose to left your home to find another. Why abandon it as soon as things changed?" Bass' tone wasn't assusing, a lot softer than it had been before. He just wanted to understand what was going on here, he felt a bit in the dark. It didn't help that he had missed the bit about his feelings for Raba. He would never turn Qualm away either, not when he was so visibly distressed. However, he did need to understand why. Was he here for the night, or forever? Would he pack up and leave again as soon as something better came up? He didn't want Quake to have her brother back just to have him leave when he changed his mind again. Bass had always been a more gentle male, but he didn't appreciate being used.
