It was a sort of domino effect; first the Griffin Malgam relaxed, then it... dissolved, into both a very wiped-out looking human with dark hair and prominent cheekbones, and Gingriffon the Chemy. The latter bumped him on the shoulder with an encouraging chirrup, much to the man's surprise.
Then, a couple seconds later, reacting to the proven-alive status of his partner, the Anchor malgam reverted; this man was shorter, with slightly darker skin, strain in his posture but now no longer so much in his eyes.
Blinking back tears, the second man braced himself against Houtaro's grip - only for the boy to smile cheeringly at him.
"You're both going to be alright, okay? You'll see."
Though he still had to whip out a blank Chemy card for Ojilacanth. "Gotcha!"

My brain is winding down on this thread, sob. Thank you for playing along with this, though!
