Whilst he may not had considered meeting up with his siblings it was something that perhaps couldn't be avoided. It shouldn't be such a surprise to run into one of them here, they too cared about family, at least he assumed they did, though he'd been wrong about a lot lately so who really knew? Of course the circumstances that he'd run into his sister would indeed be a surprise, you couldn't exactly blame him for jumping with her sneaking up and pouncing on him as she did.
As paws hit his back and the cheery voice rang right in his ear he'd his head as best as he could to set his sights upon his sister. She wasn't lying, he'd probably last seen her when Bass had fought Hati. That crazy night seemed like a hazy blur now, and even the events that followed it felt more like a nightmare than reality at times. He hadn't seen too much of his siblings at all during this period, dealing more with the pair at the forefront of it all than he had with Motif or Harmony.
Chord would feel a little bad about that now, especially given that apparently here was an opportunity to act like everything was normal. "I've been a little busy." He responded, purposefully keeping the details to himself for now and hoping that she wouldn't try to investigate it too much as he attempted to wriggle free from her to turn around and have a proper conversation.
