Lovely place you have here!

Ember was quite proud of how the Hallows had come together to transform their home into something magical for the wedding. Hearthstone looked like something out of a fairytale with its banquet tables piled high with foods and wines, the roaring fire in the Great Hearth snapping and crackling as it chased away the autumn chill from the hall, and wolves from all over gathered to celebrate Basilisk and Ignita Fatalis. Em briefly pondered if her own wedding would one day be so lavish, though that idea was followed by a chaser of melancholy as those thoughts brought with them the reminder of how she'd been abandoned by the wolf she thought she loved. No! No, she refused to dwell on those somber ideas on today of all days! This was a time for merriment and fun, and dammit she was going to have fun!

Wandering through the throng of wolves mostly here to mingle and socialize with Basilisk or her father, Ember made her way over to the banquet tables and snatched up a goblet of sweet red wine before maneuvering herself out of the crowd to give herself some breathing room. She followed the wall around the room towards the grand piano in the corner, stepping past an all white wolf similar to her in size and stature with a soft "Pardon me" while trying not to bump into him. Coming to the piano bench, the Carpathian princess took a long draught from her goblet before setting it down on top of the piano, her dainty paws lifting to rest on the keys. Then she began to play.

A light melody began to fill the Great Hall as Ember played to bring some music to the festivities, adding some background sound to the reception. It also made a fantastic excuse to be out of the crowds for a while, which suited her just fine since this event was all for the happy couple. What began as a simple melody room began to transform, adding in some more complex chords as her paws danced across the keys, pressing ebony and ivory with practiced precision. Behind her, her braided tail swayed like a metronome in time with the music's rhythm, following no sheet music or instruction, just letting her heart create the music as she pleased.
