{One Closed Prompt & One Open Prompt}

Who: Xie, Baiyi & then Open~
What: Kizuna has changed him. Literally. (Except his fur is black.)
When: Early December.
Where: Their home and then roaming.
Warnings: One scary manticore.

{Agony Frees Us}

The fur, the ears and the tail are fun, but when he wakes, early one morning, to a sudden, breath-stealing pain, he knows his body is shifting. He writhes against it, crying out until those sounds become rumbling growls. A strange creature soon lays beside Baiyi - a black lion with red feather wings and a scorpion barbed tail. Oh and he has horns. But this too is clearly Xie because his mane is braided and ornamented with rings of silver.

He looks at his lover in a panic, tail lashing and breathing fast. The pain is hard to forget, but this...

"Baiyi."

{Test Your Wings}

Later, he leaves to explore, following his nose and, yes, testing his wings. Anywhere he goes, he causes a stir, people pointing and gasping. So eventually Xie takes to rooftops, beating his wings against the cool air as he leaps to his next target.

Whether you encounter him on the ground or peeking over the roof of a building - like a massive gargoyle - he is a new sight. Is he a danger or simply curious?

"I don't get cold, silly!" But he gave him a kiss to thank him for worrying anyway and made sure to set up the chicken so that way Xie could easily eat it before curling against him so he could start eating cupcakes.

"Those are the trees she grew?" he asked, pointing to the ones he suspected.

"Not really. I've never had a problem with wind and cupcakes." Lifting himself a bit, he made it easier for that tail to wrap around him, not even thinking about it. It was like a comfy belt at this point.

"Really? That's so cool. I wonder what they say."

Playfully, he swiped a streak of frosting over Xie's nose. Smiling at him, he took a big bite of his treat.

"Trees would have a lot of ancient wisdom. Especially in older forests."

"Normal? Yeah as far as I know. It's probably because you're a solid meat eater right now."

Hopefully he'd stay a merman though. That way he could keep eating all the delicious sweets without feeling like they weren't good enough. He loved them too much to give them up!

"You could if you wanted to. I love sharing my sweets with people." Riley leaned over and pressed a kiss to his nose without a care in the world about those scary looking teeth. After all, he knew very well that he was safe with Xie. "Are you enjoying the chicken though? I made sure to pick the biggest ones."

Riley giggled and gave him another kiss. He understood not wanting to scare the vendor though. Luckily he'd been able to help out with that really easily. "You're there for me when I need you. It's only fair that I'm there for you when you need me."
