Feels like an empty space

He wanted her to look at him. Taking a deep breath and mentally telling herself not to put her tail between her legs she'd warily find his hardened gaze. His voice and posture softened, though it did little to soothe her worries. Especially with the words that followed. This really was it then, Bass did not want her ever again. She wanted to look away as he bored into her broken hearted gaze, Rhythm might have turned and run as he growled were in not for the words that followed. The regret he confessed gave her hope, but his demeanor would not change, his punishing decision very clearly not being revoked. How did he not see how harsh he was being? How did any of his later words make sense if he never wished her in his home again. He'd assumed so much on that night, she couldn't see how he would even want to stand by such a rash choice. A decision made in anger and haste.

She'd feel her own gaze narrow at his words, finally he'd question her decision, finally he would seek out the explanation he should have gotten that terrible night. Really though, what even was the point of an explanation. Why did he want it now, after he'd been so clear she wasn't worthy of being beyond his borders. He'd not thought asking her then would clear everything up. He'd put words in her mouth and believe them as truth, only taking circumstances in account. Out of all of the pieces in this puzzle it was as though she was the one who had fought to leave his pack. "Before I arrived in Imperium that night after the fight I'd never had any intention of staying in Imperium. But when Valentine asked me to stay with him I couldn't say no." She'd take another deep breath. "My decision had nothing to do with your abilities, Bass. I might have asked to leave on down the road, but truthfully I hadn't even considered the thought." Who knows what might have happened if Cascade had never went through with her plot, or if she'd only told Valentine to wait that night. She couldn't dwell on what if though.

She'd lick her dry lips, she felt a bit dehydrated after throwing up and talking so much. Now more than ever though she was convinced that Bass's decision was based solely on his pride, and it hurt to know he would so easily let it get between them. "I"m sorry for how I made you feel Bass, I'm sorry you had to go through all of that for me." She'd lose his gaze now, even more ready to go as she heard him offer her access to his borders. He'd just give her a tease, the very smallest sliver of hope to dangle in front of her. She would nod and accept it, but look away again as he mentioned Shaye. If she'd not had the girl.. would she have ever been returned any of her heart? She didn't like that the girl had been dishonest, but she wasn't about to feel bad about seeing her. At least she wasn't the only one who despised the banishment.

For however long Bass upheld this rule there would be a hole in their family, and he didn't even seem to care. "...was there a point..." She'd look back up to her brother before her attention was given to Chord, he also had much to say. He'd scold the both of them, and this time Rhythm really would put her tail between her legs. As he finished though he light joke didn't really settle very well with her, "We should just go, Chord." and be thankful for what he's given me. Eventually she might even be able to see Harmony or the other babies she'd helped birth.

The girl would turn, enforcing the decision to leave Abaven once more. She'd had enough emotions rolling through her today.
