Fill these halls with music

The sound of mismatched musical notes drew Mercury down to the Great Hall. He did wince a couple times at some of the notes heavily tapped out, but overall he was astounded and happy with what he was hearing. He found Artorias in front of the keys, tapping them seemingly at random. “Artorias! A piano, I haven’t heard one in years. May I?” he asked softly, leaning forward to gently touch the gleaming side. He closed his eyes, thinking of the home that was lost to him, and all the wonders buried and ruined under rivers of lava.

After a moment he was sentimental close to the point of tears and he drew in a soft breath to steady himself, leaning away again to give Art room. “I didn’t think I’d see one again.”
