Chord hadn't exactly gone to the festival with a negative opinion though it had in fact somehow ended up being better than he expected. Perhaps it was that little space of time he could pretend that everything was fine and normal, a chance for he and Motif to escape the mess of their siblings relationships right now. He of course didn't want to abandon Rhythm and Bass entirely, he would return to his planning at some point but for now it was far nicer to take his mind off of the drama and look forward to meeting his niece.
Though Motif had informed him to be the fun uncle he wished to be he would need to bring lots of good presents for Shaye, the truth was he hadn't actually gotten anything remotely interesting that he could actually give her. There was himself, he hoped that would be enough, and the fact that he and Motif would be taking her to the festival though something told him even if he asked Motif about it she'd point out he had to do better, she'd want an actual gift.
