The time apart however was apparently enough for Rhythm not only to accept and welcome the gesture, but return the nuzzle with a small touch of her own. Clearly there was no denying the care that the siblings held for each other, even the chocolate coloured girl before him now was not able to hide those feelings. The reasons behind her leaving could be cast aside for now, however much Chord loved a good story for now he was simply overjoyed to see his sister once more, a wonderful shock that he certainly hadn't anticipated. In fact, for now even Abaven would be pushed aside for a moment, he'd catch up with them in time but it had been nearly a year since he had seen Rhythm.
The leadership desire and skill was apparently not a trait that appeared in the Destruction wolves as strictly as the loyalty to their family did. Whilst his grandparents had obviously been great leaders and his parents too he assumed were doing a decent job he certainly didn't want to even stay in a pack let alone lead one and now here was Rhythm lacking that same urge to one day become a leader.
"Well of course, how could you not miss us?" Chord would respond rhetorically with a grin. Her comment on Abaven would reveal that she had likely already visited Motif, Harmony and of course the one wolf of the five siblings that had inherited that leadership trait, Bass. "Was planning on heading that way." He admitted. "Have you already seen King Bass and his people then?" He certainly didn't mean the comment as an insult of any sort, he did respect his brother for having the patience to deal with such a role, the dedication to keep up with it. Not that he'd say such things aloud and risk his brother getting a little big-headed, if that was possible anyway.
