[oh gosh. on one hand, hearing his name over and over does not do much good for his manliness. on the other hand... toothless has his name right. and he's talking. so, yeah, hiccup doesn't mind much.]

Iii take it that's fun to say?

[action]

[usedburninate]

Hiccup. [Anything is fun to say. Simply because he can say it, which is far better than before. He makes a somewhat purring noise, kind of like back home but... less if that makes sense, really. As if it's not all there--and it certainly doesn't sound like it used to--a mixture of a cat and a bird and a dolphin... And it frustrated him that he just could not seem to get it right.]

Er, yeah. That's my name. You've gotten pretty good at that, huh, buddy?

[and hiccup's coming over to. chill beside toothless. he doesn't mention anything about the failed purring, but offers him an... encouraging look.]

[Toothless is starting to get used to how humans move, body language and such. He might not be responding but he's watching people--in New Bark Town and on the Gear. His knees are drawn up to his chest, and now it's just Hiccup and him...

He still looks very uncomfortable.

He wants to say he misses being a dragon. To tell Hiccup he doesn't like being so small and breakable. To articulate how very defenseless he feels.

He thought that losing flight was bad... but now he's lost everything.]

[yeah, hiccup's getting that message. there's a small silence, and hiccup tentatively outstretches a hand to... place on top of toothless' head.]

[usedburninate]

[He whines, just an iiiiitty bitty bit. Then he lets out a sharp, angry breath. Why does everything have to be so damn difficult...?]

[sob. keeping the hand there.]

I know it's hard.

[action]

[usedburninate]

[He doesn't respond to that. You have no idea how hard it is, Hiccup ;;]

[action]

[well. empathy okay!! ): still, hiccup is not deterred by the lack of response.]

Being the little guy isn't that bad.

[action]

[usedburninate]

[He looks at Hiccup, one eyebrow raised.

Being the little guy is all fine and dandy for you, but what happens when you get in trouble with another Night Mare and there's no overprotective Night Fury to come save you, huh?]

[action]

[allthreefourths]

Okay, okay, not the best thing to say.

[pause.]

... Just... Trust me on this.

[action]

[usedburninate]

[He shakes his shoulders again. He hates this and his opinion isn't going to change any time soon.
