Alexey was about to start down one of the paths, thinking that her pack mate had indirectly pointed to it. But as she cast one last glance towards the other woman, she quickly realized that Mew had strayed from the dirt roads and was now heading towards a rather steep hill. A frown creased her forehead, just for a fleeting moment, before she broke into a trot in order to catch up with the Ilex. She couldn't help but wonder why humans would've hidden such a beautiful instrument away from the world. But then again, maybe it was Mew who had moved it there with the help of someone else? Climbing up the hill was a demanding task; her breathing became ragged, and the Caregiver did her best to supress the few pants that escaped her maw from time to time. Her gaze darted over to Mew, who seemed to be handling the physical exercise like a pro. They eventually reached the top of the hill, where a whole new world awaited them. Her jaw nearly dropped open as her amber-colored eyes swept over the forlorn building, long forgotten by the inhabitants of Dahlia de Mai. Alexey stuck to Mew like glue, following her down the hill in the same half-run fashion. The Koios girl gave a brief nod to show that she understood and proceeded into the building, carefully avoiding the rotten door. Her gaze remained on the other woman, following her slender form as she moved over to a wooden piece of furniture. Where was the piano? The pieces of the puzzle came together when Mew lifted the cover, revealing the famous piano keys she'd been looking for. Alexey took a few steps forward, holding her breath as she watched her friend stroke the top of the instrument with her delicate fingers. "Oh, Mew! It's beautiful!" she exclaimed, as a high-pitched sound reverberated through the old building. |
