"Uh, because— you said you wanted to be my friend," You replied, your voice tinged with a mix of hope and hesitation, noting Wanderer's reluctance to help you take responsibility for your past mistakes. After receiving the blessings of Wanderer and his companions, you transformed into a smaller, less intimidating dragon, shedding your previous destructive and frightening form.

Your eyes widened, your small dragon form shimmering with uncertainty. Your golden scales caught the dim light, creating a dazzling display. After a brief moment of silence and a bit of back and forth bickering, Wanderer finally relented, crossing his arms with a frown.

"Alright, fine! I'll go with you."

"Really?" You questioned. In an instant, you transformed into your human form, your excitement palpable. Your scales melted away to reveal smooth skin, and your once-draconic eyes now sparkled with the innocence of youth. You took Wanderer's hands in your own and leaned forward, almost in enthusiasm. Having a human form was something you weren't aware of yourself, and Wanderer was just as surprised.

"Yes, really. Lying to you would be no fun anyway."
