Truthfully, when Clony had first greeted he and Murdoc at their joining, 2D had been startled by its appearance. That was probably a bit hypocritical of the serval to think, considering his glazed over eyes that were like an ocean of pure black, and his strange shock of blue fur, but he couldn't help it. He had never seen such an odd little bat creature before, and although he and Murdoc were odd in and of themselves, they were odd in a way that 2D was used to. In a way that the singer had become accustomed to, in fact. In the rush of emotions and new people and sensations that had come with their entering into the group, 2D had even considered asking about the other, like where it had come from or what it truly was. The questions in his head were perhaps a bit rude or blunt, but he had always had a sort of blunt and slightly dull edge to him, even before he had suffered brain damage. Despite the questions teeming in his mind, threatening to spill over, 2D had been easily distracted by the presence of Murdoc's tail against his spine, easily guiding him towards their tour of Elysium's territory. And truthfully, 2D had thought that was it, and he would never have a chance to ask Clony questions again.

This was, of course, fundamentally not true. The serval was still unused to living in a group with others, where you would see and interact with them on a daily basis. He was still very used to the life of a loner with Murdoc, meeting people only to forget about them the very next day. Despite being used to that life, 2D didn't feel any disappointment when he headed towards the shore that day and saw Clony. In fact, he felt a rush of excitement, a rush that was so powerful it nearly threatened to knock the lanky serval over – or perhaps that was just another one of his migraines coming on, it honestly could've been either, or both.

However, when the azure furred serval quickly moved after Rin in Clony's direction, he found that it probably wasn't in the mood for questioning today. He could immediately tell that something was wrong, from the way that it trembled and the way its voice shook with every word. 2D's ears pinned back with anxiety, not really sure if he wanted to engage with the situation. However, Rin made the first move, and that little message of reaching out was enough to spur the singer on, clearing his throat before his awkward chatter broke the air, "Er, uh... 're you okay, mate? Y'don't... ya kinda look like y've seen a ghost, or somefin'..." The male pawed at the ground, searching his mind for words that eluded him before he continued, "Are... are y'missin' somebody?"
