'Wait a minute, I was rejected before I even stated my terms!'
Rorschach was about to speak again to plead his case when, thankfully, the man continued, "For mages not of this Tower, we require the Chief's permission. You can visit Master Feuerbach. I can help you request an audience."
"Thank you." After Rorschach spoke, the mage took out a small bell and shook it. A gargoyle from the very top floor spiraled down. Compared to the others, which were painted with colorful oils, this one seemed stronger and more imposing, its stone surface denser and darker.
"Please inform Master Feuerbach that Rorschach from the Tower of Stars requests a meeting. If the Master has time, please let me know when it would be convenient to visit."
The gargoyle nodded and shot back up to the top at extreme speed, vanishing from Rorschach's upturned gaze.
