[Truthfully, Zhongli is more troubled by what the reality of his true nature will do to Trahearne, and what implications this will have on their relationship. But this is clearly something that Trahearne needs, and so Zhongli is willing to do what he must for his dear friend's sake.]
[So at the confirmation, Zhongli nods and closes his eyes. A golden glow begins to emit from his body, and soon envelops him. There is a surge of power around him that pulses out, and a bright flash emits as his body grows and elongates.]
[When the light settles, a grand umber dragon stands where Zhongli once did, its serpentine body coiling around in the wide open space around them. Amber horns curl from his head and sharp spines descend down his back, both of which shimmer like cor lapis. Two long whiskers extend from his snout and almost touch the ground from his height, while a great orange mane unfurls from his head, matching an elegant tuft of fur on the tip of his tail.]
[A low rumble escapes the great dragon, amber claws resting carefully on the ground below as golden eyes peer down at Trahearne. Though rather large in height and grand in appearance, the dragon makes no move to go closer, simply giving Trahearne the space to observe.]
