Ankh is distracted, yeah, but that just leaves J more time and leeway to work with his tune. The static gives way easily in the face of the rhythm and melody that should actually be there; while he can't get rid of the unnatural thrumming bass that is Blanche's hold on his musicians, he can do his best to work around it and fix what he can, so long as he doesn't run into any other obstructions-

He stops short as that new quality that he couldn't quite figure out makes itself known - a quiet backbeat that has worked itself into the tune the same way Blanche's bass did. There's something else connected - but how-

He nearly misses the answer and scrambles for a moment to balance coming up with a reply and keeping up his repair work. "Control, huh? Haven't heard it put that way before."
