[He nods] If you don't mind showing me.

[notagiraffe]

I don't mind... [There is a small gust of wind and a moment later a black kirin is stood where Taiki was sat] It's easy now I know how...

[pengeen]

[He's... speechless, to say in the least. He didn't know what he was expecting, and it was simply awe-inspiring to see Taiki's kirin form.

He can't help but reach out to gently pet his mane.]

...amazing.

[notagiraffe]

[Taiki didn't mind the mane petting, he just lay down again staying in Kirin form for now.] Every king or queen has a kirin where I'm from...

[pengeen]

[Well that means he's going to move next to him to pet him some more.]

They do?

[notagiraffe]

Yes... we are born on a special mountain, we find the ruler that the gods have chosen... that's what my name means... I am the Kirin of Tai... so Taiki [He smiles though it might be difficult to tell in this form, not minding Kidou petting him at all.]

[pengeen]

I see! [Oh, that does make a lot of sense.]

So the "ki" in Taiki is from Kirin, then?

[notagiraffe]

Yes... well... sorry... it means I'm a male Kirin... if I were female I would be Tairin...

[pengeen]

[He tilts his head to the side slightly.] Is it possible for two kirin to have the same name? Or for there to be a Tairin along with you?

[notagiraffe]

No... sorry... there's only ever one kirin for each kingdom... we live a long time... but if we are killed... or we die from shitsedou... then another is born...

[pengeen]

Shitsedou?

[notagiraffe]

Sorry... it's a disease... if the kings loose their way... become cruel or start to destroy the kingdom... the kirin gets sick and unless the king changes their way they will die, followed by the king...

[pengeen]

...that sounds terrible.

[notagiraffe]

It is... but it is to make sure that the rulers don't use their power for bad... So the kingdoms prosper...
