Ulfric and Paarthurnax

[aftanith]

So despite obviously never having met Paarthurnax, Ulfric probably has a great deal of respect for him: there's not a whole lot to do in High Hrothgar, and though it takes a certain type of young Nord to spend almost a decade up there studying he has nothing but admiration for someone who spends literally all of his time at the summit of the tallest goddamn mountain in the world. Arngeir probably speaks very highly of him, too, so whatever Ulfric and the Greybeards' relationship is now, his esteem for the elusive Paarthurnax shouldn't have diminished.

Anyway, something happens! I was thinking that he simply managed to come across the Atlas of Dragons somehow, but maybe the DB let it slip, or maybe ridiculous extenuating circumstances cause them to meet. Whatever happens, Ulfric learns the truth about Paarthurnax. WHAT DOES HE DO AND WHO DOES HE TALK ABOUT THIS TO.

Bonuses:

-He wonders how he didn't figure it out earlier. I mean honestly, even ignoring the obvious dragon-y reclusiveness, his name is in the dragon tongue.
-ADVENTUUUUUUURE I dunno maybe he seeks out DB/Greybeards for answers.

If he gets to talk to Paarthurnax...

-Paarthurnax knows about Ulfric, even if they've never spoken. He's got to be at least a little aware of what the other Greybeards do, right?
-Wise dragon advice potentially hinting at a solution to the Civil War that involves happiness on both sides. Because god damn it.

There are a lot of bonuses but really the important thing is Ulfric sharing my pain. I cannot be the only one who was completely and totally gobsmacked by Paarthurnax being a dragon.
