Chord had certainly suspected as much and had even attempted to point those very same facts out to Bass though to no avail it seemed. His attempt to lighten the mood appeared to have helped very little here now though, Rhythm's cheery attitude still not returning and instead replaced with a rather bitter one. "I know." Chord attempted to console her, edging closer to her again to offer some form of comfort, nudging her lightly.
"I said the same thing more or less. Perhaps with the same amount of attitude too actually" Though his previous attempt to cheer her hadn't worked he'd tease her playfully all the same, a small smile finding it's way to his lips, hopeful he might succeed in calming her this time. "I'm not making excuses for him, it's a pretty poor one anyway but I think he's just upset that you've left and his pride has been a little wounded by it all." Surely an apology would eventually arrive, Chord was sure Bass missed her and regretted his words.
