Elisa entered the Bar in full dress uniform. Ramrod straight and grim looking, she glanced around the bar before removing her hat. The door had obviously caught her on a bad dayThat didn't seem to matter though, as she stalked toward the bar and pulled a small plastic bag full of charred plastic bits and ash. She'd been carrying the thing around

Goliath has been around very little though he has not yet been able to go home. A great deal of his time has been spent outside or in the vast library.

Now as he comes into the bar proper he is glad to see Elisa though he can only offer her a tired smile. He has been here too long and wants to return and seeing that she is upset does not help.

"Elisa, what is wrong?" He asks as he approaches her.

[wingless_clan]

Seeing Goliath cracked her cop mask somewhat. Not enough that she lost it entirely, but enough that her friend would realize just how tired and hurt she was. "Goliath" she greeted simply, walking over to him before just reaching out to touch his shoulder.

He was comforting, simple as that. "Funerals today...then back to tracking down the lasers."

[stone_warrior]

Goliath frowns and tries to match memories with what she has said. "Dracon." He remembers the lasers stolen from Xanatos and his eyes glow with anger. "Those lasers that we did not recover, they have killed some of your clan?"

[wingless_clan]

"Yeah. That's...a really good way to put it" she admitted. "The weapons are just too powerful to have out on the street" she admitted sadly. She hated admitting that she, that the NYPD, wasn't enough.

"It's bad" she couldn't really get past that point with the threat of tears.

[stone_warrior]

Goliath growls and turns his head away. He hates to see Eliza hurt and to think that there is nothing he can do to help her. He and the others did what they could to stop something like this from happening, by recovering as many of the weapons as they could, but it was not enough.

He turns back to her and rests his hand on hers that is on his shoulder. "I am sorry this has happened Elisa. I should be there to help you now."

[wingless_clan]

He, and they, did a lot more than she could ever really thank them for. She didn't even want to imagine the nightmare of more of the guns being out on the street. Or in Xanatos's hands.

"It was daytime when I left, else I'd take you up on that" she sighed. Hell, she was contemplating it anyway, the second funeral would carry through to the evening...

[stone_warrior]

He looks towards the wall where his door should be and slowly turns back to her considering. "Where did you come in from?"

Would he be seen by others before turning to stone? Stone form. It has been so long since that has happened but he would gladly give up that bit of magic that keeps him as flesh to be able to help Elisa and to see his clan again.

"Crestmoore Cemetery. I was walking to blow off steam between funerals, stepped under an arch..." she admitted, glancing over toward the door.

If he was willing to try? She wasn't going to argue. She needed friends right now.

[stone_warrior]

A cemetery. He would blend right in there until sunset.

"I have been here too long Elisa." He says, unhooking his wings so that they stand out behind him. "And I want to be there to help you."

[wingless_clan]

She watched his wings unfold, letting thoughts run through her mind. She settled for "Thanks"

Just that, no need to question his decision, or talk him out of it. Later, when there wasn't another funeral to attend, she'd hug him.

[stone_warrior]

He bows his head to her and stands waiting for her. "Are you ready to go or would you prefer to stay a while longer?" She was taking a break and he wants to make sure she is recovered enough to go back.

[wingless_clan]

She sighed and let her hand fall from his shoulder. She spoken with people in the Bar, she'd had a glass of water...

No sense delaying right? She settled her hat back on her head much as people past would don armor, then nodded stiffly "I'm good."

[stone_warrior]

He looked her over and then nodded, stepping aside to allow her to lead.

Glancing around the bar and somehow certain he'd end up returning here eventually he accepted that and followed behind her.

[wingless_clan]

As long as he had a purpose, she somehow doubted the Bar would be able to hold him long again. And she needed him, so she'd be damned if she'd let it keep him.

The door opened easily enough, leading out into a cemetery studded with statuary. She took his hand to help him through, just in case.

[stone_warrior]

Goliath follows her, taking a couple steps past the arch she passed under that had taken her to Milliways. And then he feels it creeping over him and he removes his hand from hers and kneels in the grass as skin turns from flesh to stone in the day's light.

He will be there waiting for her when the funerals are done and the sun has set, ready to help and finish the job he and the clan had started.

[wingless_clan]

She had time yet, sadly, and wandering the cemetery rapidly lost it's charm. It wasn't long before she'd stepped past Goliath once more to get another drink of water in Bar, returning with some of the help she'd recruited.

She edged easily past the large, crouched gargoyle and ran a hand over his wing "Carlos, this is Goliath. He'll probably be awake by the time the funeral is over, so you'll probably have to handle introductions and explanations..."
