[[ OoC: Au Ra it is, because life can't be easy for Haurchefant. I'll leave it ambiguous if we want her to be WoL for this or not and the pet person thing is something they sorta fell into or if it's straight up pet person society. I also have no idea how far you are so I'm going to try and avoid major plot spoilers with this. Let me know if this works for you or if I should change something! ]]
It was hard not to think of Haurchefant as overly helpful when she first came across him. She had expected at least some suspicion from him, given the less-than-warm reception she'd received from others in that frozen place. Being draconic in appearance didn't exactly help her case, as some more opinionated locals had, to put it kindly, made their thoughts known to her.
So when this one Elezen was kind enough to shelter her, provide her with food, encouragement, information, anything she could have possibly needed, it was hard for Adela to not feel suspicious of him. He was clear about what he wanted from her at first, but after that was anyone's guess. Still, it was nice to have company that seemingly had no ulteriour motive, and after long enough... She was starting to trust that maybe there wasn't one.
That she had a place with him was clear, and before she knew it she began to relax and even smile more often as they fell into a routine. She felt off when he would spoil her with no recompense, so the dragon girl began to do things that she thought would help. Hunting game, cooking it, keeping things neat and orderly, and other things that suited the petite red head's talents. Unfortunately, she scarcely ever realized how exhausting such pursuits were on top of everything else she did, and it would be a common sight for her to sleep somewhere that wasn't a bed while doing those.
It was one of those times, during which Haurchefant was managing the camp that day, that he would come across her asleep on a lounge chair in their shared abode. It was clear that she tried to take a short break to read a book as their evening stew bubbled away. It tended to be difficult to stay awake in the cold for her, after all.
