Fill these halls with music

While he was admittedly just messing around with the grand instrument, mostly just testing to see how each note would sound, Artorias heard eagerly approaching footsteps and glanced over his shoulder to see an astounded Mercury coming to investigate their newest acquisition. The dark-coated man seemed shocked and delighted to see the piano in all its splendor, even exclaiming how he hadn't seen one in years. That took Art by surprise. He had no idea Mercury knew of pianos! Perhaps they had been more commonplace back in his homelands. When asked, Artorias gestured to his friend to step up and check out the piano for himself. "Of course! This is for everyone to enjoy."

Artorias watched for a few quiet moments as Mercury clearly went through something deeply emotional connecting him to the instrument. There was a quiet reverence from the wolf, and Artorias felt even gladder that he had found and brought the piano home now. Not long after, Bramble came to join them from the kitchen, dusted with flour, and Ember right behind her, both girls inspecting the piano with intrigue. Ember stepped right on up without fear and began to trail her paw across the keys, testing the notes just as he had done while Bramble asked if anyone could play. "I think Mercury might," he said, looking back to his emotionally wrought Commander and stepping aside to gesture a paw at the row of polished ivory keys. "Would you do us the honors of the first song, Commander Ermís?"
