[Hm? Ryoji, what are you... Joshua shakes his head, laughing softly to himself. He's put enough distance between them. Ryoji has nothing to fear.
With that, he doesn't say another word. He simply closes his eyes, tipping his head down. In that all-too-familiar light, his wings spread out from his back, stretching out into the air, the same size that they've always been. But the glow doesn't fade. In fact, it expands.
After a couple of seconds, it's bright enough that Joshua isn't visible at all anymore. And it keeps growing, bigger and bigger, encompassing something much, much larger than Joshua had been.
When the light fades, it leaves behind a kirin, large and white with violet details, scales flashing in the growing daylight. Its front legs, horns and tail are all stylized, almost like tattoos, but living - they're definitely capable of moving.
Probably the most striking detail of all is the fact that it's towering over Ryoji. He barely comes up to its knee.]
