Swiftcurrent Creek rocky waters

So sorry for the delay!

Warmth blossomed in Shadow's cool eyes, and Paarthurnax' smile broadened. He responded to her playful comment with grace then gathered himself to stride forward quickly. Her vivid gaze followed his movements as he bolted to the water's edge, ducked his head and returned with a writhing, silver fish between his jaws.

The bi-coloured beauty lowered to her haunches and laughed softly as her packmate turned toward her with a proud grin and began toward her again. Her feathery tail swept across the ground when Shadow offered his prize to her, which she accepted. Paarthurnax plucked the fish from her companion's grip, set it on the ground before her and blinked up at Shadow. "This," she said with a grin in response to his question, motioning toward her snack. "Thank you."

Paar held the fish beneath a dainty white paw and set about digging beneath the scales with her teeth. As she did so, Shadow returned to the water's edge and snatched another scaly creature that dared to swim too close to the surface. She eyed him curiously, wondering how he had become such an efficient fisher. Paarthurnax was hardly graceful when it came to hunting in water. "So what sort of excitement have you been up to?"
