Sneaking another reply in here. :P

Shadow's mood seemed to lift again, though Paarthurnax was concerned that he might be masking his hurt at her lack of response.

She eyed the ashen male fondly as he puled himself to his paws and invited her to swim with him, which she declined gracefully; "I think I'll watch this time." She laughed heartily as Shadow swept forward and ducked beneath the surface, while Paar lingered in wait on the riverside to finish her fish.
