Headcanon: the wol chews out Tataru immediately after their victory vs ifrit since they got effectively pressganged into military service because she sang their praises too loudly. Only the wol did it for the chocobo and the recruiters knew they were pressganged and so made them the equivalent of a reservist so they didn't get deployed anywhere.

The wol also only sticks around after ifrit because the scions might shed some light on the echo

edit: another headcanon- limsa born miqote are significantly better than other miqote when it comes to water since they were naturally surrounded by water when young. Other miqote...don't handle water as well if they don't want to get in. Leviathan is therefore very confusing for miqote to fight. On one hand big feesh! on the other hand water!
Thancred was getting black out drunk and ****ing tables, except for when he helps save you from the gargoyles. That's actually why he was late to the Ifrit party /nods

Y'shtola was rehearsing her sassy assertions kinda like Winston Churchill rehearsing what he wants to say in everyday conversations.

Papalymo was giving Lyse Yda'ing lessons.

They were all heroing where they could, but they couldn't do much as they were against the threats they wanted to tackle until the WoL walked in.

I legit wonder sometimes how many Echo blessed adventurers got killed/maimed/retired early due to signing on and getting overwhelmed by the enormity of the Scions' vision. Although perhaps it was more like, they were reading all the warning signs and seeing all the bad juju across the land and trying to warn and help where they could... their ambition growing upon receiving the helping hand of Murderhobo McKillsstuff, yes even "gods."
