Wormwood had found out rather recently that Elysium had finally caved and decided to join in the fight against the Pitt,  believing that it was worth it to ally with the two other large groups going against the clan of bastards and torturers. Worm had, naturally, become very happy to hear this news delighted that it meant yet another group was going to show The Pitt that they couldn't continue to get away with the shit that they had been doing for so long now. So, when Wormwood had been promoted up from chaser to guardsman, he had decided to achieve one of his new duties by bringing some gifts to Elysium to show them just how grateful Tanglewood was for their support. He had considered going to the Typhoon instead, since he knew that place more than he did Elysium, but had ultimately decided against it, figuring that this could represent not only an opportunity to grow closer to a neutral group, but also to just get to know them better in general. So, the small hybrid of dog, frog, and turtle – known simply as a "chikorita" – had put together a moderately sized basket of gifts, filled with things such as cooked food, jewelry, a couple of weapons, a few books, and a rather nice bottle of wine, and had prepared himself to go on the long trek over to Elysium all on his own. However, before he had been able to leave, Moth had stopped him and said that she wanted to come with, not only because she wanted to help with the task at hand, but also because she wanted to make sure that her brother was safe on his journey. Wormwood bad wanted to explain that he would be perfectly fine, since it wasn't as if he was stuck in his chikorita form, and if he ran into any trouble he could always shift into his large lion form to deal with things. However, he had just caved and let Moth come with him, figuring that she would be decent enough protection despite the fact that right now she was technically just a domestic feline.

With his basket of gifts in hand and his little sister in tow, the small guardsman had left the familiarity of the Tanglewood swampland camp and had made the long trek all the way over to the mountains where Elysium resided, making idle conversation with Moth as the two of them traveled along. He silently thanked the gods that Moth had come along, since he was sure that he would've been bored to death walking all that way all by himself without anybody to talk with. Once the mountains of Elysium came into view, the small plant creature felt a shiver run up his spine, the approach of winter and the cool presence of fall looming over the region even still a big away from it. He glanced back to make sure that Moth was alright before continuing along, eventually finding the border line that separated Elysium from the rest of the world. He contemplated continuing on to where the pulley system began, and trying to find their way up to the main camp, but ultimately decided against it, settling down on the scent line and gently placing the gift basket down in front of him, letting out a little grateful grunt at the relief of weight from his jaw. He could feel the leaf upon the top of his head drooping down against his back thanks to the cold chill to the air, and he glanced around with his one eye before calling out softly, eager for someone to come along, "Hey, is anybody here? We're a couple of Tanglewood visitors, here with gifts!" His voice was young and squeaky, thanks to the fact that this new form was only around 7 months old, and he frowned a little bit when he heard it in his own floppy puppy ears. Turning to look over at Moth, be said softly, "You know anybody here in Elysium, Moth...?"

Wormwood could already feel the faint smile that curled on his face when Sanzu arrived, finding the young dragon's excitement rather adorable and soft. When she excitedly announced that they had cookies, the small guardsman infinitely glad that he had asked V to help him with some baked goods to bring to Elysium. Despite the scary dragon he was sure Sanzu would one day grow into, Worm knew that Sanzu wouldn't hurt them for not bringing cookies, but he still didn't really want to disappoint the youngling. He opened his mouth to reply to the child, but then Tena arrived, the leader of the group immediately draggin his attention away. The small plant creature dipped his head to Tena and said warmly, once Moth had spoken, not wanting to interrupt his younger sister figure, "Hello little one, hello Tena. As Moth said, my name is Wormwood. I'm a Guardsman of Tanglewood, and she's a medic, and we came here bearing gifts as a sort of show of thanks for you choosing to join the fight against the Pitt. Hopefully this will all be resolved soon, and we wanted to show our gratitude. And don't worry, we did bring cookies, along with some other baked good courtesy of one of our members. The trip may not have been short, but it was worth it to come see some neutrals who have been very kind to us in the past." He gently nudged the basket forward with one of his small turtle feet before he continued, dipping his head over at Sanzu, since the child was still enthusiastically bouncing around just a bit behind Tena, "In addition to baked goods, we brought some other food items, some weapons, some jewelry, and a few other little surprise gifts courtesy of our territory. Hopefully they will all find uses here in Elysium." It felt nice to finally meet some others from Elysium, since he knew several people from The Typhoon, but had never met any from their other closest group.
