Human: Make a short description of a foreboding courtyard with roof guardians, dolphin, and phoenix. Assistant: 
Ceramic roof guardians loom along the edge of the tile roof on a nearby home. The tiny figures guard the corners of the building, perched atop the black stone columns as they glare balefully at intruders. One corner bears a graceful leaping dolphin, another, a phoenix rising amidst a realistic cloud of ceramic flames. A courtyard stands in the center of the building, open to the street.
