Day 32: Sun Room (2nd shift)

[heraldric.livejournal.com]

After the couple glasses of water Leon managed to gulp down during breakfast, the mage felt immensely better. He was still a bit tired, but that was nothing a little lounging on one of the sofas wouldn't cure. Stretching his arms above his head, he couldn't help but wish he'd had the chance to grab one of his new doctor's coats before leaving his room that morning. Maybe they would have let him get away with wearing it. Maybe.

He grabbed an empty sofa, pulling out the journal he tried to keep on him at all times. It was nearly complete now. Just a couple more pages to go. It might not improve his spellcasting that much, but any improvement was better than none. It was getting to where it might be too dangerous for him to use spells at all, if it left him so worn out without even finishing a monster off.

But of course Keman had to go and ask about that anyway. What was he supposed to say? That their stone forms were super resilient and it wasn't worth trying to shatter them? No, he'd surely realize the truth. There weren't any gargoyles here at the moment anyway, and even if they did arrive they'd most likely be turned human just as he was.

"Yeah, it does," Brooklyn sighed. "That's why gargoyles often make deals with humans. One can protect while the other sleeps." That was usually the way it worked, anyway. Betrayal often ended up in catastrophe for both sides.

"Oh, that makes sense." Keman nodded and decided to leave it at that. Brooklyn didn't seem too comfortable with the current topic. On to something safer.

"How are you adjusting? To being human, I mean. It was a pretty big change for me, and I'm a shapeshifter. I've looked like this before. Can't imagine what it would be like for somebody who's not used to it..."

It was odd hearing about a shapeshifter that wasn't a Child of Oberon, and Brooklyn had to shove aside the desire to try and make some connection between dragons and the Third Race. Things were different here. It was that whole "multiple worlds" problem again, wasn't it?

"I'm used to having a tail." The gargoyle decided to focus on the current question and forget all other issues for now. "And wings. So my balance has been off, but I think I'm adjusting. Just have to remember not to try running on all fours, you know?" He chuckled.

Keman grinned, leaning back in his seat. "Oh, I know," he laughed. "A year ago, I ran away from home to look for my sister and wound up in a two-legger city. It was a little disconcerting, going from shifting into other animals into trying to pass myself off as an Elven Lord."
