Phineas had returned to full concentration on the piano , a mark where his brother had thrown his boot still clear on his face. Suddenly, a rather pretty alto voice joined into the carol. Phineas looked curiously at her, continuing to play. He wasn't the best at showing expression on his face, but there was some curiosity in his blue eyes. The half-Neko (though he was often mistaken for a human due to the lack of ears...before people actually saw his cat side in action) cocked his head curiously.
"....You've got a nice singing voice," he said, always stating what he truthfully thought first. The song slowly shifted from We Wish You a Merry Christmas to the Ukranian Bells song, but he still looked curiously at the girl. After a moment, he continued playing. "Ah....please excuse my brother, Nikolas," Phineas added, watching his fingers touch the keys with the precision and speed that he wanted. "He's quite the hyper one."

Nikolas chuckled when Ferra reminded him that she was an only child. She had a point. Still, he could empathize with his friends with twin siblings. Having a twin was kinda weird. Phineas looked a lot like Nik if he didn't have ears and grew his hair a little longer. And got a tad taller. Ah, if only Nikolas could have grown a couple more inches, then he would be pleased.
"The hall looks awesome!" Nik said eagerly, looking around it. "You and Millie did a great job decorating it. Meanwhile, Phin and I were visiting the family for a bit. Dad's fine, he told us alllll about his adventures when he was younger, then summoned a real live phoenix from a book! The neighbors totally freaked! It was hilarious. Then Grandma came to visit and Phin sent her speeding out the house!" At this point, Nik was laughing really hard. "D'you remember, Phin? The old man was like, 'no, don't kill me!' And you were like, 'fuck that lady, I have a piano' and started playing chopsticks. Remember that?"
Phineas looked up from his piano, still playing, then he sweatdropped. "Ah, yes....how could I forget....didn't you go chasing after her wearing nothing but your underwear?"
"Ohhh yeah! With a broom, if I remember correctly."
"....It was a frying pan."
"It WAS?"
Phineas rolled his eyes. "...Of course. Knowing you, you wouldn't settle for a broom. You just had to go all out. We still have to replace all those dishes you broke, you know."
"Pssssh! Dad's pretty easygoing, he wouldn't get mad 'cuz I broke some glass dishes."
".....Okay....? What about Mom, then....?"
"Um...I'm sure she won't blow her top? As long as Dad didn't get hurt—"
"Dude, he tried to pick up the glass and started bleeding everywhere. You were too drunk to notice." Phineas rolled his eyes again and returned his focus to the piano.

Masaki had been on his journey all the way to Margaret Town from Crocus City after having left Sabertooth and selling his house, buying a new place in Margaret Town that was actually right on the edge of the town. After having struck an arrangement with Lamia Scale's new guild master, Maya Morne, Masaki was going to join the ranks of Lamia Scale and be there in time for Christmas! All of this however, was planned between the two of them for secret. After all, it's a surprise for Grace. The events of the previous day saddened Masaki, due to the fact that he had to say goodbye to what had been his family for so long, but In his eyes it was all for the greater good. Saying goodbye to Zeryph however, hurt him the most. But, with his head held up high, Masaki was excited for the change.
After setting out from Crocus in the early hours of the morning, Masaki was now on the outskirts of Margaret Town. From what he could see, the town was beautiful, and so very quiet. What place was better than this? At least now Masaki could read his books in peace... That would be nice, anyway. The young teenager sighed with relief as he continued on to the entrance of the town, finding himself totally captivated in its contents. It was a very simplistic town, it's people seemed to keep to themselves a lot too, and to actually see that in person and not in a book for a change was actually quite nice.
As as he continued through the town, Masaki looked at his arm at the spot of where his new guild mark was located, and smiled ever so slightly. Eventually, Masaki got to the beautiful guild building, and knocked on its large wooden doors. The red head would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous, but it'd be hard for anyone to even tell. And Masaki didn't know how they'd react to it all, what if they didn't like him? He gulped at the thought.
"How bad can it be?" He thought. Masaki really had no idea what he was getting himself into.
From inside of the guild, Grace would hear the kind shouts of Maya which said 'That'll be for you Grace!' Practically as soon as he knocked on the door.

"....Tell me about it," Phineas said in response to Shiro's comment, watching his brother, who was grinning like an idiot, before letting the song shift once again to Jingle Bells. Shiro herself really seemed to enjoy the music, so Phineas brought the song up a notch by making it sound more jazzy. He was so focused on playing that he didn't even hear the knock on the door.
But Nikolas, with his big cat ears, did. His ears perked up, and, much like a cat, he leapt over to the door before opening it. He examined the person for a second. A new member of Lamia Scale? Slowly, Nikolas's expression rose to an enormous grin; he opened the door all the way for the man. "Welcome to Lamia Scale!" he said quite loudly, practically announcing his entrance. Phineas, who was still in the middle of Jazzy Jingle Bells, was incredibly wrapped up in his playing, so he wasn't really paying attention to anything else.

Ferra: Lamia Scale GH
Ferra grinned widely when Nikolas mentioned the guild hall being nice, "Thanks! We worked really hard on it." She replied cheerfully. After she grew silent to listen to Nikolas' and Phineas' story about them visiting their parents. She had to admit, their family did sound pretty interesting. When Phineas mentioned Nikolas chasing his grandma out of the house with a frying pan in his underwear she couldn't help but laugh. "Nice work Nik. Really scary with that frying pan I bet." She told him teasingly, still giggling a bit from the story. When she heard a light knock at the door and Nikolas went over to open said door she to walked over to see who it was. "Oooh! Hi Masaki!" She told him excitedly upon realizing who it was. "Here to see Grace huh?" She asked with a grin. "She's around here somewhere, I figured you stop by since it's almost Christmas after all." She said. Then she realized he was likely trying to surprise her, "Oh.....uhh....sorry for announcing your exsistance? We uh, we should go before Grace comes and gets mad." She said, looking between Masaki and Nikolas with a sheepish grin before grabbing Nikolas by the sleeve and walking off. "If anyone asks the door opened itself." She told him, somewhat scared as to what Grace would do, if anything. Never could tell with Grace if she'd get mad or just simply pout.
