The elder gargoyle chuckled. The good news for him was at least until he was outside, the human form would remain in tact. It was a skill he had been mastering for some time so as not to frighten his wife. After all, she may have been tolerant of magic, but to have a brozne-scaled beast next to her one moment where her husband would have been may have been much. "No need to fret. I can hold this off for a while. It is at night and udring the rush of security that my gargoyle form will emerge."

"I don't mind, whatever makes you comfortable. I would be smaller if I didn't need to reach the top of the piles." Roger replied, joking at the end with a slight chuckle. "But, I will have to ask. What are you exactly? I mean, I don't want to guess, get it wrong then end up annoying you." He asked, gesturing with both hands. He wasn't looking Carl over to take everything in, again he didn't want to make him uncomfortable. His focus is and will remain on his eyes.

Carl chuckled. "It's no fair keepin' someone in the dark about it. Particularly when security guards can flit around half naked." After some hesitation, he answered. "I am a member of the Hudson Clan. We were a clan of gargoyles that protected medieval Scotland. Unfortunately, a curse was thrown onto them through a misunderstanding. By day, they would be weakened as humans. But as the sun ended..." On cue dark brown scales, some looking a tarnished color, climbed over the elder's skin. The nails sharped into points, and powerful wings in a build similar to a bat's erupted. "Does that answer it for ya, Roger?"

Roger wondered who he was taking about, half-naked guards? He stopped once Carl explained about what he is. Roger's eyes looked over the older gentleman's wings in amazement. they were a sight to see. "It's actually pretty interesting. And yes, it does answer my question. Thank you." Roger nodded, looking back down to Carl's eyes. He smiled softly to show his gratitude.

"The half naked guard comment was pokin' fun at me colleague, Starfire," Carl gruffed. "Sweet lass once you get her to understand what yer talkin' about. But that's besides the point." He stretched back with a sigh. The form made him feel twenty years younger. "As for interesting, there are many things here that could fall into that category."

"AH!" Roger nodded when Carl explained about Starfire. "And that's very true. There seems to always be something happening here, but I'm normally in here working and I end up hearing about it instead of seeing. That and spending a lot of my life surrounded by what is consider 'average' and 'normal' before coming, a lot I never thought would exist. I still get interested in who I meet, everyone's got a surprise up their sleeve." Roger explained.

"I mean no offense by this, Roger," Carl started his suggestion out slowly, figuring out how to word it. How could this not be taken in the wrong direction? "but how come you are on the opposite end of all that is happening? True, you at least get snippets, but the funny thing bout stories. They get...whisked away."

"None taken. And truthfully, I don't know. I think it's because I spend most of my time as a mouse that people tend to not notice me." Roger shock his head. "It was horrible what happened and I wish could do more to help." He was now fighting temptation to smoke his pipe but it would be rude to Carl, He normally smoke when he was sad. "But I normally cause more trouble then prevent."

A twitchy sensation was riling up in Carl. The elder didn't need to know that this was anxiety coming through disguised calmness. The taloned hand approached the thick, black wood carving and handed it over. "Ya need this more than I do lad. I won't be offended; I'm from Scotland. Smokin's like taking a drink of water! And surely there are things that the small can do to assist."

"No, it's fine. I don't want to be smoking it around people, unless I'm smaller then my hand." Roger explained. "I'm too use to people complaining about it and the damage. So I use it when I'm alone, in my other form or if it's just me and Ellie." He took the black pipe carefully from Carl. "I have a smaller pipe for when I shift..." He reached into his pocket and grabbed his smaller pipe. "I would look bizarre if I smoked my normal." He chuckled as he handed Carl the small pipe.

The pipe Roger handed him certainly lived up to its name. In the gargoyle's talons, it looked like an accessory from a child's dollhouse. Yet from it came the pallor of burnt herbs and tobacco. Black flecks spilled a bit from the base of the tilting. "I give ya props for improvisation," Carl said with amusement, handing the small pipe back.

Roger chuckled as he slipped it back into his pocket. "It's better then ending up on the internet." He laughed. "My daughter gave it to me, she was the one who joked about it. So she broke the centre and pulled it out, I've been using it since." He pulled his hand out of his pocket.
