Paarthurnax had an admirable amount of patience. Bazi grimaced at the idea of having tiny mouths chewing on her abdomen for several days straight. "Do you think they'll just drag on the ground afterwards?" she asked, partly to tease, partly because she worried it might actually happen. The desert woman was taller, so theoretically less at risk.

And she was curious. In the days it took the search-and-rescue party to return, Bazi had thought of nothing but puppies. She had not considered it, but she was now of a certain age - and these thoughts were likely a precursor to more primal urges. Thankfully, there was still a winter to weather and a battered body to heal - both of which kept the change at bay for now, and Bazi childlike.
