Graces transformed into his complete Beastification Form again, but perhaps inspired by Smelian from earlier, he'd shrunk himself down quite a bit.
He took on a much younger appearance. His long tail was curled up beside his body, his black wings were docilely tucked against his back, and his eyes—which always turned red in his Beastification Form—watched Lu Xia with a hint of apprehension, like a puppy desperate for its master's affection.
Somehow, puppy-dog eyes on a massive dragon didn't look the least bit out of place.
Lu Xia looked at Graces, who was curled up obediently on the bed, and reached out to stroke the horns on his head. They felt like cool jade, smooth and pleasant to the touch.
Graces carefully hooked Lu Xia's arm with his dragon claw, guiding her to sit on the bed. He then shrank his body a little more and rested on Lu Xia's lap, as if to say that this was a much better position for petting.
