Here you find me in between

The soft call of his brothers voice seemed to be like that of a dream. He was laying on top of the den, the coldness of the stone helping numb the still strong pain in his shoulder. Golden eyes popped open as he scooted closer to the ledge, having before been out of sight from his tan dusted brother. "Brother," he said softly, his voice rough still. His paws hung over the ledge of the top of his den, a weak smile being offered for his free formed brother. He could smell the stench of Rhythm on Chord, and his nose wrinkled slightly. "So you went and saw her, did you? Did she tell you the whole story or just about how I banished her?" Bass' voice was soft, the regret clear in his words. He was still very much hurt from it all, but he had said some rather unkind things to her, things that had been haunting him.

Sighing and flopping over to his right side, he took all the pressure off his stupid left shoulder that still stung like a bitch. Damn that masked fool... But the emotional pain of it all had more of an effect on him, it was just that the physical was a constant reminder of it all. He lifted his head so that he could see Chord properly, tossing a sheepish grin at him. "Also sorry for wandering off... my head wasn't clear and I should have waited. Perhaps it would have gone better if I had... But I wasn't going to come home without her, not until she decided to stay with them." Pain was clear in Bass, his eyes dull as he let out another sigh. What a mess this all was. And to think, it all would have been better if Rhythm had reacted differently. He should have too, but if only she had said something to him before. At least then he would be physically in one piece.
