Swiftcurrent Creek Say something, I'm giving up on you.

To hear that Bazi had failed to return to Swiftcurrent pained the crimson Frostfur, who whimpered pitifully in response. She did not beleive that her friend would outright abandon the Creek; a very real possibility was that something bad had happened to her, postponing or even entirely preventing her homecoming.

If her physical state was not so restricting, Paarthurnax would have offered then and there to scout further afield in search of any signs, but the reminder of her unborn pups kept her silent. She loved Bazi fiercely, but she could not sacrifice her litter by going on a chase and potentially into a dangerous situation.

"I'm sorry," Paar whispered, struggling to keep herself from breaking down. Sorry for his huge loss, for her unexpected arrival, for the burden she'd brought with her.
