Chao grumbled and muttered something about a sock of gold being left on Rabid's bed while she slept.
Reid blinked at the silvery device for a moment before recognizing it for what it was. His face lit up in a grin and his stomach glowed so warmly his shirt fully lit up, "thankyu Ms. Mor'b!" he replied quietly, slipping the MP3 player into one of the zippered pockets of his pants.

"Yer welcome, Reid," Rabid grinned widely and stood, ruffling the boy's hair affectionately. He was damned cute.
Malachi's left ear perked up suddenly, then fell back. His right ear lifted straight up, and then folded back with the other. Both ears simoltaneously rose, and Ike's eyes widened.
"Mummy, we go see moozack? Ike hear moozack." He pointed down the hall from which he heard faint music, kind of like what he'd heard on the streets.
"Errr..." Rabid looked where her son had pointed. She didn't hear anything...

Chao eyed Rabid curiously, quite certain whatever deal they'd made before had been completed. Oh well, Reid looked happy.
"Music huh?" Chao didn't hear it either but, well, Malachi did happen to have the largest and most sensitive ears of their group.
"Moozic?" Reid tilted his head, trying to catch the snippits of sound his friend was hearing. He couldn't hear it but he trusted Ike, "lessgo!"

"Kay!" Ike grinned and bent forward, folding his ears back. He suddenly bolted down the hall, following the noise as best he could, holding onto Reid as best he could.
"I guess we have no choice, eh?" Rabid laughed and slung her arm around Chao's shoulder, beginning to walk after the boys.
Ike slowed, and eventually stopped completely when the music was at its loudest. He gaped in wonderment at all of the musical instruments hung on the walls.
"Wow...moozack..."

Reid clung to Ike with all six limbs, looking around as they passed stores and perking slightly when they got close enough that he could hear. When they finally arrived Reid was as dumbstruck as Ike. "Wow..." he breathed.
"Oh my dear wifey to be, do we ever have a choice?" Chao asked with a warm laugh, suggesting that she wouldn't want it any other way, and fell into step with Rabid.

Rabid giggled as they walked slowly behind their sons. When she reached the store, though, she joined in thier staring. It took her a moment to hear the deeply accented voice floating from the back of the store, accompanied by a strange cacophony of musical noises.
"Shall we?" she hooked her arm and offered it to Chao.
Ike was already far ahead of his mother, dragging himself and Reid deeper into the store, toward the voice.

Chao tilted her head, curiously listening to the music. At Rabid's offers she smiled and hooked her with the one offer, "yes, let's."
Reid continued his wild attempt to look and take in everything in the store at once for several moments before giving up and concentrating on the voice and looking off in the direction they were heading. Besides, he reasoned with himself, he and Ike could always explore after they found the voice.

Ike reached the source of the voice in a very short amount of time. A young woman with normally-shaped violet eyes sat in a chair playing various different instruments to a small group of teen Vavvians. She smiled to Ike and Reid, a reaction the squirrel boy wasn't quite used to. He smiled back and approached her, wanting to watch.
Rabid reached the small crowd about the same time as the boys, and watched on curiously.
The woman grabbed an elaborately decorated bass guitar and spoke about it for a moment before beginning to play a fast-paced, low melody.
"Mummy!" Ike gasped, his eyes growing wide, "Ike want."

Chao, being connected by the arm with Rabid, watched on as well, laughing quietly at Ike's reaction. Ah the discover of instruments, "we'll have to get on sound proofing a room it seems," she murmured, placing her chin on her clasped hands and watching the group of magicians curiously.
Reid smiled at the woman and laughed quietly at his friend's reactio. Sliding off the taller boy's back he looked over the other instruemnets that were set up curiously.

"Go pick one out, then," Rabid smiled. Oh, how she was spoiling him. Oh, how she loved it.
"Reaaaaally?!"
"Really."
"Yay! Reid, come help Ike pick!" Malachi hopped up and down and motioned for Reid to follow him as he slowly disappeared to the far wall where a great amount of sparkly basses were hanging.
"I am a horrible person," Rabid shook her head sadly and snerked, her eyes still fixed on the woman in the chair.

"'Ki!" Reid called and quickly followed his friend.
"Ah yes, but karma through ear pain will even the scale. And you're son'll love you forever," Chao replied with a smile and a nod.

"Psh. I hope so," Rabid scoffed and adopted a strange twangy accent, "'er I may have ter whip 'im!" She snerked at her disassembled Southern-American Earthling accent.
"Ooooh," Ike said and stood on his tiptoes, pointing to a very pointy bloodred bass guitar, "Reid like?" For one reason or another, his friend's opinion was very important to him.

Chao stared for a moment before laughing quietly, "hun, never, ever do that again, it was terrifying."
Reid looked up curiously, taking in the pointiness, which seemed a bit much, or dangerous, but he liked the color, "prettee."

"Okee," Ike plucked the guitar off the wall and stood up, whacking his head on a strange obsidian violin, elaborately decorated with metal...things?
"Oooow..." he rubbed his head, but almost immediately started gawking like some kind of satanic gopher.
"Yes, honey," Rabid laughed and looked over at the boys before switching back to the young woman, who had seemingly pulled a smallish piano out of mid-air and was playing something classical, "Bach."

Reid grimaced as his friend bonked his head, "owo, Ike ki?" he asked then perked as the piano music began to drift through over towards them. The firely looked around, sighted the small piano and quickly headed back over to get a better look.
Chao laughed then sighted Reid heading back towards the piano and quirked an eyebrow.
Reid stared, wide eyed at the piano and grinned, glowing warmly and turned to his Mu, "Mu, Reid wants."
