Choosing to keep quiet about the crouching [u]Magnus[/u] and the comforting [u]Arletta[/u], Talia spoke. "[color=lavender]A-Anyway. Shall we head to your guild?[/color]"

The three reach the guild by nightfall and Talia's eye widened at its sight. "[color=lavender]T-This is...[/color]" The Cyclops continued to examine the structure. "[color=lavender]I've only seen the design patterns in books but...[/color]" She remarked before asking. "[color=lavender]Did-did Dwarves build this? The unmonsterized ones, I mean. Because this is their signature designs and... how did you manage to get Dwarves here?[/color]" Talia kept asking as she continued to look at the guild headquarters.

Besides Talia's wonder, the trio also heard a continuous sound coming from the otherwise quiet guild. They had heard it when they arrived, it's just that Talia was quick to speak about the architecture of the guild headquarters. The sound was too faint to be discerned from outside so one should head in to better hear the sound.

Should it be investigated, the trio would find out that the sound was actually a song. At least in the barest sense of the word, neither Talia, [u]Arletta[/u] or [u]Magnus[/u] recognized the intruments being used but they could hazard a guess. Perhaps they recognized some but the way it was used was not at all similar to any music that they heard before. The music was coming out of the kitchen and the closer they got, the clearer they heard the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytLzxl4-mLw]song[/url] with its lyrics becoming audible.

"[i]Your vooooice
Was the soundtrack of my summer.
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder and I said...

Your eyes
Are the brightest of all the colors...[/i]"

[u]Magnus[/u] and [u]Arletta[/u] hear Neil singing along.

Upon entering the kitchen, the three monsters would find Neil in the middle of cooking. The boy was startled by your appearance, dropped whatever he was doing and quickly bolted to a table and took a strange rectangular device into his hands. The music stopped suddenly and Neil approached the three as he discreetly but obviously hid the device in him. "Uh, er, hey... guys! Welcome-welcome... welcome back!" Neil stuttered. "You-you came pretty early. Bart... Bart's out gathering... gathering wood. He should... he should be back soon."

Neil, however, found Talia and stared at her for a second before resuming. "And-and you brought a friend. Is she... is she part of the guild now?" He asked.

The Cyclops was too shy to speak and probably cautious of interacting with the clearly nervous and anxious boy.
