To be honest Chord expected further teasing upon the borders whilst they waited for Shaye to appear, perhaps little nudges that it'd be his last chance to make a good impression with a nice gift but Motif was good. She remained quiet and the pair waited in silence for the little girl to appear. Or rather not quite so little. She had been such a frail looking thing when Chord had last laid eyes on her though it was true indeed that Shaye had grown up. He wasn't exactly the greatest judge of gauging pup height but she seemed to be rather tall. Perhaps it was simply because he had been expecting someone quite a bit smaller.
"OK. You weren't kidding." He muttered quietly to his sister as the girl approached them, he hadn't been able to believe she was nearly a year old though she was definitely looking pretty grown up now.
He would remain quiet for a moment, letting mother and daughter speak first of all. Shockingly she didn't seem too curious about the stranger on the borders, Chord was convinced that there was no way she would be able to remember him. Questioned or not, Motif would introduce him and he'd nod a small greeting her way for now. "Hi Shaye."
