[Hiccup is grinning down at his wearable. Or, rather, he's trying to. He can't help it if he needs to shoot Toothless a few looks. The dragon is only headbutting him repeatedly. Hiccup isn't sure if Toothless wants him out the door, already, or is just full of affectionate excitement. It may be both.Hey, Astrid? I know you're, like. Busy and stuff

What's wrong with his tail?

[Gem is still curious about these dragon things. But she's not going to act like it. nope.]

voice;

[talkingfishbone]

Uhhhh...

[Hiccup's still a little antsy about disclosing information about his buddy.]

I think someone locked the mechanism.

voice;

[survivethesiren]

...mechanism?

He isn't fully...organic?

voice;

[talkingfishbone]

He was? He...used to be?

Funny story about that, actually...

But it, uh, i-it won't matter for long. I'm mean, we're out to get the parts, now, so.

[Headnudges for everrrrrrr.]

Action;

[talkingfishbone]

Right, okay, we're going!

[Hiccup laughs and gives the dragon's face a playful shove. They were already halfway to the teleporter when he remembered to give his...housemate? A heads-up.]

Yeesh.

Action;

[ysonightfurious]

[Toothless kind of bats at him with one of his earflaps before making a noise that sounds like a cross between a tiger's growl and a horse's neigh.]

Have been gone. Missed flying right.

[Not admitting that he's impatient though.]

Action;

[talkingfishbone]

[He glances at the text and snorts.]

Yeah, I bet.

But first, we have to find that basket.

[The boy sprints ahead and hops onto the platform, grinning the whole way.]

[Astrid is doing something suitably productive. Or she's just poking at appliances in vague fear/wonder. She eyes the camera for a moment, looking for one to the other.]

Toothless, I'm glad you're okay. Don't let him get crushed.

[And then she fixes her eye on Hiccup.]

Be careful.

[video]

[talkingfishbone]

[He throws her a thumbs-up.]

You got it.

And really, how could I be any safer? I have a Night Fury watching my back.

[video]

[punchandkiss]

Guess I can't really argue with that.

What are you looking for?

[video]

[talkingfishbone]

My basket. I was running away when I got here, remember?

It just has some stuff in it. I ended up dropping it, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

[You know who Hiccup needs to meet more of? Helmet people.

Here, Rookie will help. Because he is normal and suddenly incredibly interested in this.]

You're Toothless's friend?

[He knew big ol' dragon had been missing somebody...]

[voice]

[talkingfishbone]

Uh. Yeah. The--the original.

[Not that he's bragging.]

[video]

[huragokwhistler]

[Hey, he's just glad to see folks reunited.] Well. Nice to meet you. Know he's been missing you since I got here.

Ah. I'm Rookie, by the way.

[video]

[talkingfishbone]

Rookie? Uh. Hiccup. Though...I...guess you already knew that?

Anyways its, uh, it's nice to meet you. A, uh. A friend of Toothless is a friend of mine!

[He almost couldn't say it with a straight face.]

[video]

[talkingfishbone]

[Crap! He should've known this would happen eventually.]

It's okay! It's--it's okay. He's, uh. He's--he's a friendly dragon!

[Hiccup scratches under Toothless' jaw to demonstrate how adorable he gets when he's treated with affection.]

See? Totally safe.

[video]

[talkingfishbone]

...Yeah. Yeah, it kinda is, isn't it?

[Hehe, ego boost.]
