Searching for the toad had been a decent distraction though it seemed that had long since worn off. Rhythm was certainly looking rather out of sorts now, her nerves and worries evident even before she confessed that she wasn't feeling ready. He'd nuzzle her gently, hoping to lend her a little support give her a little more encouragement though truth be told even Chord himself wasn't certain what was actually going to happen. Perhaps his sister's worries were rubbing off on him a little, he did feel a little guilty about the fact his crazy plan had caused them. "Tough. We're not turning around yet." He responded, a small grin forced onto his lips as he attempted to bring a little normality and cheer to the moment.
The wait felt a little longer than it actually was though soon Bass was finally nearing a rather irate look upon his features as he marched up to them. This wasn't the cheery, reunion he had imagined poor Rhythm hadn't even gotten a chance to say hello and already he was furious, seemingly having no second-thoughts about the punishment he had given to their sister. He was disappointed, the guilt rising further within him. Protectively he'd take a step forwards, keeping close to Rhythm for comfort. He'd never wished to choose sides in this ridiculous sibling battle though at this moment in time truth be told he felt Rhythm needed him more.
"Hello Bass, it's lovely to see you too brother." A distraction, an attempt to be civil. He kept his voice calm and light though truth be told he was pretty furious himself that even after this time to adjust and think about things that Bass would still so hastily act in such a hostile manner towards their sister. Her choice had been bad timing though she hadn't done any of this out of spite or with the intention of hurting anyone so why on earth couldn't he just forgive, forget and let her be happy?
