If Chord was shoked about how long she'd been barred from Abaven Rhythm wasn't sure what she was. Already the majority of a season had passed, she knew they needed time but how much did it take to realize how much they missed her? Again, the hope she held was no more than a flickering candle that threatened to go out. Horrible thoughts jostled for the place in her heart where she kept her light, she wanted to give in and believe that they had no further use for her and that their love no longer held true. How easy those thoughts could take hold of her mind, it seemed only Chord's hopeful words would keep them at bay.
At least she could still smile with her brother, but how she wished she could still say the same about Bass and Motif. Her heart yearned for them. She'd refrain from sighing softly as Chord's more serious thoughts broke in to her. "No, that's it." For a half second she thought he was truly serious and figured it out, but as he continued she realized what he was saying. Her heart really wanted to break but instead she'd chuckle at his humor. "The answer is so simple! I just need to bring him a new toad." Of course such a solution would never work, but she was incredibly tempted to try it either way. What would Bass say if she came up to his borders and offered him a toad?
