Hiccup? You okay?

worstvikingever June 14 2011, 06:22:51 UTC

I will be.

Probably.

electrowhipit June 14 2011, 06:24:41 UTC

Probably? [ he makes a kind of sad robot noise ] Is there anything I can do?

worstvikingever June 14 2011, 06:26:06 UTC

Uh... probably not. I just... have to get over I guess.

electrowhipit June 14 2011, 06:28:51 UTC

You don't even wanna go for a drive or something? Hit the freeway, clear your head? [ it's not like riding a dragon, but he figures he'd offer. ]

worstvikingever June 14 2011, 06:34:26 UTC

[Hiccup has no idea how to respond. He's never ridden in a car before, but somehow riding in a car that's... alive? Seems weird. Then he remembers that he's ridden on a dragon that was alive and realizes that's a stupid thought.]

Oh. That's... really nice of you to offer. I. Um. Can I think about it?

electrowhipit June 14 2011, 06:39:35 UTC

That's fine. Take your time.

worstvikingever June 14 2011, 06:45:00 UTC

Okay. Thanks. I'll... get back to you on that.

[He's silent for an awkward moment.]

Um. So how are you?

electrowhipit June 14 2011, 06:48:50 UTC

I guess I can't complain. Quinn finally got me hooked up to the phone lines, at least.

... You didn't get caught up in that mess from a couple weeks ago, did you?

worstvikingever June 14 2011, 06:53:10 UTC

Hooked you up to the phone lines? Oh. Yeah, that makes sense. I guess using a phone like the rest of us would be kind of. Silly.

...yeah, I kinda did.

electrowhipit June 14 2011, 06:58:33 UTC

My hands are way too big for holding a receiver anyway.

[ A pause, and there's that sad robot noise again ] Oh. I'm sorry.

worstvikingever June 14 2011, 07:03:44 UTC

No it's... it's okay. It's over now. Done with. I need to move on.

[He's trying to convince himself. He may or may not be succeeding.]

electrowhipit June 14 2011, 07:09:02 UTC

Hiccup...

You're not a soldier. You're just a kid, and no one should expect you to just be okay after all of that. Or after anything this town throws at us for that matter.

And you sure don't have to deal with it alone.

worstvikingever June 14 2011, 07:24:00 UTC

[He's silent.]

Well then how else am I supposed to deal with it? I can't just... keep dwelling on it.

electrowhipit June 14 2011, 07:25:53 UTC

Talk to someone. If you try to deal with it on your own, all you're gonna do is dwell on it.

worstvikingever June 14 2011, 07:30:26 UTC

[He's quiet again, before quietly responding.]

Okay.
