Little Brown Book [Closed]
What was she thinking.
Immediately after ushered off for her appointment for the mandatory full scan of everyone that came in contact with Hiccup and cleared of all possible dormant threats, Astrid spent the duration of the surgery trapping herself in her quarters lavatory. The girl found solace there away from the noise, the bustle of people working to mend the damage.
For her mind, it was a different case. She couldn't escape what had happened. It plagued her mind. Etched in her eyes. There was a good reason why she chose the lavatory. It was a wonder if her stomach would recover.
And she felt miserable for avoiding him like this. To have it break her down this much.
And suddenly, his suffering over weighed her anxiety and everything else. This alone fueled her limbs to move once more and make the effort to haul it to Medbay. There, she found a solemn Stoick in his company. Of course. The chief-- though he had the same thick-headed moments the Haddock name is known for--all the same he was truly a caring father. Astrid debated coming later.
Then that's when her eye noticed Hiccup's notebook abandoned on the floor, at the adjacent side of the curtain. By the looks of it, it fell free from his vest somehow.
...What the hell was she thinking. She asked herself for probably the tenth time. Seated on the edge of their bed, now back in their quarters... and staring at his private property in her hands she impulsively snatched up on her visit.
For the longest time, she mulled in silence, realizing the consequences. She thought she could feel the sweat trickle down the side her face. This... this was certainly something below her. Even for a Viking. It's uncalled for. And at a delicate time such as this...
Nevertheless, her curiosity won over and she gingerly flipped open to the first page...
