[Hiccup's wiping down the counter of a very large wooden tabletop. Behind him a large fire burns in an even larger pit. The teen actually looks really pleased with it as he looks over to the communicator. Outside a fierce storm can be heard, claps of thunder and flashes of lightning coming in through the cracks in the shutters.]Hiccup's

[His first customer! Hiccup is excited about this.]

Weapons are my specialty. [He's been making them ever since he was little so they're easier to make compared to other stuff that needs designing first.] I'll be here if you want to come by. I'm located on the south end of the city.

[1stdragonrider]

[Hiccup is standing next to the large worktable when Fenris comes in. A few weapons hang around the shop walls as if they were decorations or maybe as samples. Really he hasn't made any but sketches of all kinds of things are pinned to a large idea board.

He turns to face his first customer with a smile.] Welcome.

Have you had anyone take you up on the offer, Hiccup?

[1stdragonrider]

The one about learning new things? Not yet.

[arethebettermen]

Things will turn up eventually.

[1stdragonrider]

If not I can always read the books the library has now.

[Smiling happily at that. Before he just looked at the pictures.]

Looks like we have our own Leonardo da Vinic. [ Desmond smirks. The Aliundehood has their own Leonardo, but it can't be bad to encourage a kid. Right? ]

[Giving this guy a curious look.] What's a leonardodavinci?

[milesawayfrom]

It's not really a what, more of a "who." He was a famous inventor a long time ago.

[1stdragonrider]

[Nervous laugh.]

I don't think I'll ever be famous for inventing.

Blacksmith an' leather goods huh? [ She did need a few blades and some leatherwork ... ]

What's your name? ... an' what's Toothless?

[video]

[1stdragonrider]

That's right! I looked all around the city and there wasn't a shop like this anywhere so I thought it was a good idea. [His dad might be happy that he was keeping some of their Viking heritage alive.]

I'm Hiccup. Toothless is my dragon.

No it's a real fine idea. I ain't the best at leatherwork but I need some done. I was thinkin' of openin' my own shop. I work on machines, engines, an' the like. Mostly. [ Latest plans bringing in new things and all. Yep. ]

Nice to meet ya Hiccup [ so that wasn't just a random name for the shop. But she wasn't about to judge his name. She's heard plenty of weird ones. ]. I'm Kaylee ... [ wait. WAIT. ] Dragon?! Ya got a dragon? A real ... dragon. [ LOOK AT HER EXCITED (AND HOPEFUL) FACE. ]

I can do whatever you'd like, just stop by when you've got time. You can share my shop until you can get one of your own. I'm close to the junkyard where they toss out all sorts of machine stuff right out back. [Jerks his thumb towards the backdoor.]

Nice to meet you too, Lady Kaylee. [Big grin.] A real dragon! He'll probably visit the shop a lot.

[Congratulations, you just said something that gained his interest. This is a rare occurrence but god damnit, he wants something to shoot people with and something else to go stabbity stab stab.]

I can tell you what weapons I want and you can make them?

[1stdragonrider]

[Glad to be interesting enough to catch the attention of someone like Marv.]

That's right.

[makeashowofit]

Two flintlock pistols and two cutlasses.

Actually, make it six cutlasses.
