[The sigh from the taller gray haired man is quiet, but has a sound of relief to it. Armed is better than nothing, and if even that failed, Serph has wings. Surely they can be used.
It isn't til he's on the other side of the barrier that he stops, though it's not likely going to HELP if anything goes wrong, Drifters seemed to get through it just fine. The idea of deliberately becoming a monster doesn't sit well at all, but it like so much else is shoved aside. Sephiroth changing forms doesn't look like the way it does for an avatar tuner, he's briefly engulfed in a roiling cloud of purplish black, and when it clears, the thing left standing there is in no way human.
But it does have some vague similarities to levikrons, which frequented the plains, from the violently purple and fuchsia crest, long ears, approximate body-plan and heavy sturdy forelimbs though considerably larger and shaggier.
The body language is the same too, as the chimera reorients sharply on Serph and draws itself upright with a rumbly hiss, claws flexed to show but not use their wicked points, much the same way the larger monsters in a flock might to pressure and intimidate its own kind.
Pauses.
And shakes itself once hard like a wet dog before very, very carefully settles into a crouch, handlike forelimbs and long saurian talons pinned beneath itself, making attack difficult but not impossible. Sephiroth can still think, it's just harder when he's so certain the best thing to do is immediately establish a proper hierarchy and enforce it. But that's wrong, isn't it?]
