Gossip (Quest) <Speak with Shandris and Tyrande.>

An in-engine cinematic plays:

Shandris and Tyrande walk uphill from the moonwell.
Shandris Feathermoon: Such beauty. Such tranquility. More kaldorei settle here every day.
Shandris pauses to look at her adoptive mother for a moment, before looking back out at Bel'ameth.
Shandris Feathermoon: After so many years of strife, Bel'ameth offers rest and comfort.
Tyrande Whisperwind: This village welcomes all who wish to dwell here.
Tyrande looks at Shandris for a moment.
Tyrande Whisperwind: But it shall not be our only home.
They start walking again.
Tyrande Whisperwind: Hyjal, Val'sharah, Ashenvale... These are sacred places to us. We shall protect them forever more.
The stop at the moonwell again, facing one another.
Tyrande Whisperwind: And one day, when life blossoms again upon its ashen shores... we will return to Teldrassil and build anew.
Shandris smiles. Noticing something, she looks away from Tyrande and lets out a gasp. This catches Tyrande's attention, who turns around to look the same direction, letting out a gasp of her own and laughs gently. In the distance is Malfurion Stormrage, back from Ardenweald. With a sigh of relief, Tyrande takes off running to her husband and he steps forward. With a leap, she jumps into his arms and they share a kiss, wrapping each other in a hug. They look into each others eyes for a beat, then close their eyes and hug tighter.
A few moments later, Tyrande and Malfurion open their eyes and look at Shandris, who has stopped a few yards away, with her hands held together in front of her. Malfurion and Tyrande open their arms, beckoning Shandris, who obliges and moves in to share a three-way hug.

On complete:

Shandris Feathermoon says: Father, we have so much to tell you...
Malfurion Stormrage says: As I slumbered within Ardenweald, Ysera let me dream through her eyes. I saw the courage you showed defending Amirdrassil.
Malfurion Stormrage says: I am so proud of you both. And of all the heroes of Azeroth who joined together for this cause.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: Though we will never forget the past, it is time to look forward.
Shandris Feathermoon says: Our people will be pleased to have both of you leading them into that future.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: No, my beloved daughter. I think we will tarry here in Bel'ameth a while.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: I believe we have earned some time alone together.
Malfurion Stormrage says: That we have, my love.
Shandris Feathermoon says: But our people need--
Tyrande Whisperwind says: They have all they need in you, child.
Malfurion Stormrage says: You have grown into a wise leader, Shandris. Within you beats the heart of the kaldorei people.
Malfurion Stormrage says: Trust your instincts. And if you have need of us, you know where we will be.
Shandris Feathermoon says: Thank you. For your faith in me. For... everything.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: Now come. I want to show you a spot that would be perfect for our home.
Malfurion Stormrage says: I do hope there is room for a garden...
