There's no way the talisman should even have been able to do it - there wasn't a single sigil that even vaguely indicated matter transformation - and yet here they were; Wei Wuxian sitting on the ground with a small, angry kitten in his lap that was, until a couple of minutes earlier, his little brother.

The kitten, a beautiful grey coloured thing with a purple collar, attempted a half-hearted scratch down the length of Wei Wuxian's forearm, with the exact same expression of annoyance that Jiang Cheng wore as a human.

"You are very cute this way, but I swear I can change you back," Wei Wuxian muttered, scritching behind kitten!Jiang Cheng's ears and pulling him closer, "at least once I've told Shijie about this... and maybe Huaisang."
