The Imperial doesn't even turn his head or move his eyes to look at the Spiral, just continuing to stare at the sky like he was already doing.
"......You need a better joke."
Ok, at least we know he can hear and also speak.
(That's a pretty Spiral!!! And don't worry, that was a good pun, Grima is just a stick in the mud.)

The gentle brush to his side actually caused him to look down out of an old habit that he hasn't had reason for in ages; and he just nodded before turning his head back to the sky. He didn't even question why this hatchling didn't seem fully natural; but he did enjoy the sight of something smaller than him that also has a similar body to him.
He was no longer his original species of dragon of course, but it was something.
"The stars never change of course. But I'm not watching for that. I'm watching for someone very close for me; she is even larger than me, so if she is flying, I should see her with ease. At least, I want to hope she was spared my fate and is trying to find me once again."
(UNKNOWN is a good baby, even if it acts a bit like a robot and would be offputting for anything that isn't a dragon that has seen a lot of things and has little ability to care at this point.)

(GRIMA OFF, GRIMA OFF!! Also....Yeah, this guy has a number of HCs wove into his background that I haven't shared yet; and also doesn't like at least some of the Grimleal. Or the idea of......Well, just read I guess.
Also that's a fantastic Grima, 11/10, would allow to call me worm and not care at all.)
Grima actually was quick to take his eyes off the sky when he sensed another Fell Dragon; a familiar sense of no longer being alone washed over him at first, quick to try to locate the other Fell Dragon. But....this quickly turned to aggression when it was another claiming to be the only Fell Dragon, meaning that they claimed they were the only Grima.
And this wasn't the one he would allow this from.
"Fool, there can be more than one Fell Dragon; I have seen it with my own eyes, though the number has never been more than fo-......
two in total at a given time."
A loud growl comes from the Imperial when (F) Grima thinks for even a moment that he is Grimleal. "The Grimleal I knew were the scum from the bottom of the barrel; I never got to know what the true faith was like, but the part that tried to control me.....
I hate it, and desire to destroy it; they caused the events that led me to be killed again!!" Oh, he doesn't sound happy......But, Grima is quick to calm himself, turning his head towards the skies once more.
"That, and Grima was originally not a name for myself; it belonged to the other Fell Dragon I knew, but our dragon selves looked so similar, it eventually referred to us both. My true name is Reflet, if you wish to hog the name of Grima for yourself. And if it feels like you know me from somewhere....Eh, you feel familiar as well, but it might just be your aura.......Or maybe we did meet in one life, for all I know. Or you met-.....No, no you haven't met her, I'm sure of it."

"I'm fine; my neck is used to it."
Grima had tried his best to ignore the fellow Imperial, despite the slight excitement from seeing a dragon similar to him;
this was not another Fell Dragon, no need to get excited. But the sound of a tail thumping on the grass near him, and of word caused him to break his silence, if not his skyward stare.
He had to keep watching......He had to; he didn't want to miss any sign of his rare desert flower if she was trying to find him. Provided she could escape the First Exalt's attack.
He hopes she did; he hopes his children did as well.
"................Though I guess I should let it rest soon....." He refuses to say it. But his neck is actually starting to hurt. That, and his constant hunger is bothering him, though he is lacking much will to eat all that much. Or take care of himself really.
Well, at least we know he's not a statue.
(SHADOWLING. No seriously, I love seeing Shadow dragons that fit the flight! Mainly because that was my first flight!)

Grima makes no remark when he can sense another dragon just watching him, choosing to continue his intense watch over the sky. Nor does he try to stop the Spiral from approaching and sitting next to him.
And once she starts to speak, he simply listens, nodding at times due to her words. All of what she said.....was honestly true. So much pain.....So much grief. It seemed to follow him all throughout his life, either caused in self-defense, caused in a feral rage, or inflicted upon him. But.....He hopes he can still find a way to change his path to one where he can finally be happy and at peace.
And then the question of what he was waiting for. A great question, but one he had to debate on sharing the answer to.
".............I'm waiting for my desert flower to finally find me once again. But I know it's hardly possible to see her once more. But yet, I can't find the will to carry on without her, hence my state now. Though I do need to start finding the will to eat more; I think she would want me to do that much at least, even if I lack the strength needed to do much else besides that and watching the skies for a sign of her."
(That is honestly an awesome Spiral; and yes, Grima didn't fully process that she called him by name. Though maybe he was not questioning it after she called him a Fell Dragon and was accurate about his past.)
