[The scene is a surprisingly happy one. Solis is stretched out upon the snowy bank of the lake, allowing children to climb all over her. Though she's speaking to the communicator, her attention is nonetheless mostly spent on watching over the children. One sits on her back, hoisting a stick to the sky and shouting 'NOW WE RIDE!' as smaller kids

[Well, that is a surprising sight. Paarthurnax isn't sure what she's at, but it is intriguing. Very counter-intuitive.]

Pruzah rotte. Fine words, kulaas. [He pauses, sounding deeply bemused as he continues.] And a sight I had never thought to see. Paaz Kaan! Mortal children are quite fearless, are they not?

A pleasure to see you again, good sir. Well met.

[There's a light chuckle at his remarks.]

That they are. To them, I am nothing more than a very large housecat. The experience is a pleasant one.

[He dips his head a little. Paarthurnax is always attentive to those he speaks with, their words and voice and demeanour, but there's an added watchfulness this time. As if to gauge her reaction on seeing him once more.]

Having been a cat, I think I prefer to be a dovah. But to be held so warmly regarded is... hm, a fine thing, nonetheless.

[She seems calm enough, though he may be aware that she's listening a little more intently than usual.]

Indeed. If I must be honest, I believe you made a very fine cat.

[There's a hint of warmth and humor in her voice.]

[Six gives a chuckle.] And to you and the kids you've collected.

[She chuckles in return, her bunched shoulders quivering with the movement.]

To be honest, they seem to have collected me. A pair came across me, and once they were satisfied as to my nature, more appeared, and then more.

I confess that I have missed this.

You spent a lot of time around children before?

[A little surprised because, well, you're a dragon. Parents would probably think you were planning supper.]

Only for a short time.

[She inclines her head with a peaceful expression, even as a three-year-old whacks her thick scales repeatedly with a sword-stick.]

There was a fishing village who cared for me while my wing was broken. I grew very fond of the children there.
