[ooc: I imagine it's not easy as it's winter nearly everyday. For the AU, I just pretended he survived Heavenward (with a scar as a reminder) and get to live to see Ishgsard being reconstructed and rebuilt. We'll see if it's a WoL au or pet person Au! I'm fine with either. Also I'm nearing the end of Stormblood!]
Lord Haurchefant always wanted to help. He is bound by his honor to help those who seek his aid and succor, and he happily provides it without any expectation of a reward or anything in return. And he always does so with a smile and words of warm comfort, even if it's mild teasing and obvious flirting, but his motive is a friendly jab and his curiosity of where she's from or what she needs from him.
A honest man of his word, he works hard to earn her trust but also give her the comfort and space she needed. While he knows little of Au Ra and their tribes, he only heard they had settlements as far as the Azim Steppe.
It wasn't much, but he does have privileges as the commander of Camp Dragonhead. He can deal much with the complaints of the tiresome food and drinks and delayed deliveries. He told her to think of it as a headquarters and a temporary sanctuary, a place to hide, and she could stay for as long she wishes.
"Don't wear yourself out Adela." The merciless cold and neverending winters in the snow-covered highlands of coerthas is a difficult place to survive and live, even for the most trained soldiers. Not only it's easy to get sick, but there's monsters and wolves living in the surrounded forests.
When he sees she's about to wear herself out to exhaustion, her eyes closing even as she works and demands sleep, he just need to gently guide her to a chair near the fireplace to warm her body up. "How about you sit down and rest? I'll go make some cocoa?"
By the time he came back from the kitchens with two cups of cocoa and marshmallows. The stew was near cold as the fire in the logs is slowly vanishing, and her book fell over on the floor.
Which he fixes it by picking up the book, pick at the logs with a poker to rekindle the first, and gently stir her awake, "If you're cold, I got you some hot cocoa to help warm you up." Which there's a mug of steaming hot cocoa on the table.
"I forgot. I have to get you a blanket if you need one."
