There was a certain calmness to the current Ryu that had never been there before. His expression was the same, but his eyes had gained depth in a way that was impossible to describe.
The air around him was also particularly calm, as though wind itself wasn't allowed to flow freely in his presence or like a vacuum of space had been formed beneath his will.

However, these scales almost looked like illusions of the eye, disappearing mere seconds later as though they had never been there before.
