Scenario 1

[Look it's pre-heavensward and you are the WOL and you are totally hanging out at the Falling Snows and your boy Haurchefant is SO EXCITED he's left you for a minute to relax and is returning with HOT COCOA because YOU NEED TO WARM UP. After all, you're always met with a warm hearth and warmer welcome at Camp Dragonhead.]

Scenario 2

[What the fuck there's a dragon trying to eat your face and suddenly this ~~long-necked giraffe~~ guy in armor is leaping to your defense to fight the thing off. What a meeting.]

[Rather than taking the time Haurchefant was busy securing cocoa to wind down, rest, or maybe even find some semblance of calm, Tree seems to have... Made a hasty decision of some sort.

Where there previously sat a Sunseeker man, there is now an even smaller Au Ra woman, with similar coloring, wearing the exact same armor. In fact she seems to be fussing with the fit of it when he walks back in.]

[For a moment his stride pauses, surprised, before he finishes his steps, setting the mugs on the table beside the much shorter woman.]

I thought you might be taken by the cold. I confess you surprised me.

[She greets him with a sheepish smile, tilting her head up... And up again, adjusting for the even greater height difference in meeting his eyes.]

Thank you. I'll be a surprise for everyone, I think...

I thought to give warning, but I was not sure I would have the nerve to really do it.

[Reaches to warm her hands with one of the mugs.]

What prompted the change?

[He looks at her, intently more interested in this than in his cocoa, but then, it's odd, this is certainly his dear friend, but entirely different.]

This appearance will make it easier to move for a time.

[She is, after all, the Warrior of Light. It's far from unheard of for her to make snap decisions. But she breaks eye contact, thoughtfully examining the grain of the wood table while she considers her words.]

I also remembered something of my distant past. This was how I started.

[He leans forward, curious and interested. After all, even if the change was sudden, he has 100000% absolutely utmost faith in Tree. And he's interested in hearing this story, if he'd--er, she'd share it with him.]

I'm full glad to hear your memories returning. I would hear more if you'd share it.

It's still all bits and pieces, but I'll share what I've made sense of.

[Sips her cocoa, as if to collect her thoughts, but takes another moment to savor the warmth and taste, making a face that should by all rights be accompanied by wiggling ears.]

This is delicious. You have my thanks.

...As for my memories, there's no doubt I've tasted a fantasia before now, though I would have been very young. I could have more to blame for my difficulties connecting with other Sunseekers than my Hellsguard upbringing.

[That last bit is said lightly, with a shrug. She's long since stopped fussing over that.]
