#deshret wrote SO MANY CONTINGENCIES

You know, considering Nahida's and Rukkhadevata's self-sacrificing tendencies (I'll just use my power and turn into a twig no problem) alongside Deshret's often insane and reckless ideas (who makes an agreement for an ancient dragon to consume you after your death????) it's honestly a miracle that Rukkhadevata wasn't just perpetually aranara-sized during her time ruling alongside Deshret and Nabu Malikata.
I can just see Nabu Malikata returning from a business trip to Liyue or something, only to find a panicked Deshret sitting next to a potted plant that looks like a mini Irminsul.
Turns out Deshret got a little bit too silly with his last search for forbidden knowledge and Rukkhadevata had to use almost all of her power to stop the potential crisis. Now he's trying to find out how to care for a plant that's literally Irminsul while waiting for the Aranara to arrive.
Another time, Deshret came back and found Nabu Malikata babysitting Rukkhadevata, who had turned into a child.
And, while both gods know that they should probably ask the rainforest dwellers for help, they kind of don't trust the sages. Especially when the Grand Sage at the time suggested keeping Rukkhadevata locked up in the Sanctuary of Surasthana until she regained her powers..... So now there's an unspoken agreement that only the desert and Vanarana are safe places for a weakened Dendro Archon.
I would also like to point out that the (former) Grand Sage barely escaped with his life.
After that initial scare, Deshret would probably come up with a way to transfer dendro or knowledge to Rukkhadevata so she'd get her powers back, but the funniest option would be both him and Nabu Malikata having to do the whole Aranyaka quest to host the Festival Utsava.
People wonder where the Sumeru God Kings are, turns out they're organizing a festival for the Aranara (Deshret and Nabu are doing the preparations, Rukkhadevata is currently a child and is just playing with the Aranara).

Nabu was the only stabilising influence on these two, so whenever she went on a trip things got weird.
After the first couple times, they set up a system where it's always either Deshret or Rukkha going on trips...and then one of them gets into Shenannigans in another nation or something and the other two get a very panicked message from one of their allies.
Eventually the unspoken agreement between Egeria, Venti, Zhongli, and Makoto is that all international meetings will be held in Sumeru because those three are Not To Be Separated.
(we won't talk about what happens after her death here, because that's too tragic)
