Swiftcurrent Creek drums

"That's strange. I didn't know he had a son."

Bazi shrugged. "I think, anyway. I could have misunderstood, or forgotten - I wasn't particularly attentive to the needs of others when we met." With a snort, she added, "Or, you know - comparatively speaking." Her brows creased at the mention of Paarthurnax. Bazi did not take criticism of her friend's situation very well, but Kaskara meant no offense - like Falwasi, she was completely invested in the well-being of Swiftcurrent Creek, and technically.. Paarthurnax had been a risk to that.

"I'm sure he will.. he's a big boy. Why Blacktail Deer Plateau, though? Do you think he's related to someone there? Maybe I got it wrong, and it's really all about a lover. He's still got it, don't you think?" A lurid grin split Bazi's face - there hadn't been much time for that sort of talk of late, but she would seize the opportunity now - Star would either return or she wouldn't, and Bazi was not fussed either way.

At least she thought so now.
