so when Scott met osteon, he immediately switched up right?
He basically became besties with the person, sharing more info that he has shared with most of the other students(who he has known for months atp) which I honestly think is very interesting for his character.
Once a stronger, older, person shows up to teach them and protect them(security wise at least, not from the horrors :D), Scott immediately showed a different side to himself; one he had likely needed to suppress as a main pillar and future mayor of Tegrith.
He was clearly very curious about Osteon, having less trouble trusting the new person because he is a dragon rider, just like the rest of them!
He freely answered questions that he's been asked by others and vaguely denied or ignored.
Also, after finding out about Osteon's wither magic, Scott immediately asked them to, quite literally, "hit me!"
I have a feeling that the prospect of someone showing up, being incredibly strong and experienced and able to protect the people that Scott loves, has nearly endeared Osteon to him.
Scott is also, from what I've seen, one of the physically strongest players. His magic is definitely one of the most versatile, and many people rely on him for various things or information.
Remember, Scott is only 23. He had to grow up very quickly in order to help his parents and the other villagers in Tegrith his whole life, almost completely on his own after Pyro left at 15.
The fact that there is now someone who could take some of that residual pressure off of him?
I am willing to bet that we see Scott act a bit more relaxed, at least in Osteon's presence, and maybe he'll be able to join in a few more shenanigans rather than just chaperoning them :)
