So, just out of curiosity, do people ever get their losses back? Or can we just trade? I'd be willing to trade.

Hear me, Castle? You're welcome to my boots - or, better yet, [and this is delivered in a complete deadpan:] - my spunky, upbeat, yet charming nature.

[And a huff of a sigh.]

I miss being able to draw. I used to be able to, you

It looks nice!

[hiccuphaddock]

No, it doesn't. That's - sort of the point I was making..

[goldencirclet]

But I like it!

[Switching to written...]

[hiccuphaddock]

[Yup. His art skills have definitely been outclassed.]

What's he wearing around his wrists and ankles?

[goldencirclet]

[Speaking again, because dear god his spelling.]

That's my chains an' stuff.

[hiccuphaddock]

Oh, that's you? Neat.

[Wait a second.]

You wear chains?

[goldencirclet]

Yeah. They put them on me in Heaven... but I'm kinda used t'them now. They keep comin' back even if people take 'em off.

[hiccuphaddock]

Doesn't that get - er - heavy?

[goldencirclet]

...yeah.

[hiccuphaddock]

.. oh.

[Way to bring that up, Hiccup.]

I'm - er. Really sorry.

[goldencirclet]

It's okay!

[He even sounds like it is.]

Um... did ya draw a lot before the castle took it away?

[hiccuphaddock]

Yeah. Mostly - I think better with pictures than words, I guess.

[goldencirclet]

That's really mean of the castle, taking something like that.

[hiccuphaddock]

Hey.. I got off pretty easy compared to other stuff I've seen. I can't complain too much.

[goldencirclet]

I dun even know what they took from me. Why does the castle do mean things like that?

[hiccuphaddock]

Dunno. I don't think anyone's really figured that part out yet.

Hey, by the way. I'm Hiccup.
