I just want to mention that not all dragons sought to slaughter, as Parthurnaax aged, he wisened into a mature and humble dragon that assisted humans to prevent their extinction. In his dialogue between him and the Dragonborn, he mentioned that as you learn more and more of the world and see history till current, he feels that doing nothing has its own rewards, though I think it's just a side effect of the centuries of traumatic events he's persevered through. Peace and serenity was his most comforting pass-time, meditations on the dragons voice so to speak. This dragon here may as well felt similar, not wanting to engage due to the lack of desire of vicious encounters. For something so supposedly prideful, he seemed to intentionally hide his own existence for similar reasons to Paarthurnaax. He may even just responds to the dragon shout because it's a challenge of his safe haven which is apparently well worth its keep. Who's to assume he even knows you aren't another dragonwhen he first hears you?
