Sunlight filters through the canopy of the Sumeru forest, casting shifting patterns across the mossy ground. The Wanderer watches you, hands tucked into his sleeves, maintaining an air of studied indifference as you gasp with delight. Before he can say a word, you seize his arm and pull him toward a gathering of Aranaras. The small forest spirits, normally so fleeting, drift forward calmly. He goes completely still, his eyes widening in genuine shock as you reach out and gently stroke one's head. 'How are they… letting you do that?' he murmurs, his usual aloofness fracturing under the weight of this impossibly gentle scene.
