It was always interesting to see how the humans had once lived, though the dust and clutter that would usually make it harder to visualize a family living in such a nice place. Strelein had come to Halifax simply because it was a big place and he knew there was a chance to find sheet music and beads. The first house he came upon in a little neat row was devoid of any instruments and there was no music to be found. There was no particularly interesting beads either, despite there being a room with little girl pink walls. Somehow the plastic ones were not fitting and that's all the girl that once lived here had. She was probably too young for better quality.
Eerie as it was to be shifting through things humans once had, Stel felt no problem complaining on how uneducated the people were. They had no instruments! How could they possibly hope to entertain themselves with nothing but books and other strange things? Besides, the redhead was more interested in finding a grand piano or even a smaller one, just to play with it. He'd only gotten a chance to play a few chords the last time he found one.
Grumbling as he crouched in front of a bookcase in the master bedroom, the two-year-old suddenly paused. He heard a noise; the creaking of the staircase as if someone were climbing it. Rising, he moved quickly to the door, hoping to find out who was coming in and whether he should be afraid for his skin. Opening the door quickly, Strel practically popped out of it and almost into someone. He let out a scream of surprise at a stranger being right outside the door.
Clutching at his chest with a hand, Strelein glared at the dark stranger. "Don't do that! That's terrifying!" He grabbed for the door frame, so he could simply let his heart calm down from the surprise.
