Cool and shadowed, the home seemed quaint and the three males that seemed to be arguing caught his attention. He gave his gray scarf a nervous twist as he tried to decide whether or not this was bad but it cleared after he realized they must be family. 

The family stuff was unusual to him, he'd never seen anything like it before and it personally confused him just a tad. He'd never had much of a family, an only child to a mother who refused to have any more kids ever since one had been born with the hooked claws of a dragon. He'd never even had close outer family, his cousins a pair of twins that often like to jive about him being half animal with the claws and it had hurt his overly sensitive feelings at that time. 

He often felt a little sensitive towards the claws because they were so strange, they readily reminded him that he was never going to be human. He was never going to die and he was never going to feel normal.

He was watching them while they interacted, trying to decide whether or not he could add a word in or not but he decided that it might be best to keep his mouth shut. The family seemed close despite the slight arguing and he found it kind of endearing. They really seemed to love each other, it was kind of nice to see how warm they were and he watched Elnarin leave with a small feeling of reluctance but he turned to face Paul. 

Paul was obviously a human in all aspects, he didn't quite fit into his family of elves and for some reason that made Roderick feel comfortable. They were two of a kind here, the only two who were nowhere near being elves.

He offered the man a smile, extending one hand to him and tilting his head slightly. He overlooked him slightly and decided that he seemed nice enough, even though his two boys seemed unimpressed with what he had to teach. Roderick's own stepdad had been human, a redhead named Erik who had often looked at him with something strange in his eyes. "[color=c4df9b]It is a pleasure to meet you, Paul. Roderick Duchannes, though I'm sure you know that by now. I'm a warlock.[/color]"
