Hiccup? You... don't have to apologize. You... w-well it would be disturbing to say I would do the same thing wouldn't it. You had a perfectly good reason to, it's... it's alright.

[worstvikingever]

I still need to say it.

I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't... I didn't have to.

[tiktoktibenoch]

If you hadn't, then I would have had to... and, to-to be honest that was the last thing I would ever want to do.

[worstvikingever]

...really?

But what about...

[He trails off. He's still not sure what was up with the whole two personalities thing, and he hasn't been able to bring himself to ask Klaus about it, because that would mean asking about other things too and he's not sure he wants to ask about them yet.]

ACTION OF COURSE

[horvillemayor]

Hey, Hiccup...

[She doesn't really. Know what to say. She doesn't really know how to comfort people, and if she fully understood the situation, she probably, normally, would have just snorted and told him next time to build a machine to hack Ples with the axe itself, and save himself the effort.

But she doesn't know the situation, and Lu's been trying to play Good Guy here for a while and--]

...Do you want waffles? [Waffles always cheer people up, right?]

[worstvikingever]

[Well. That surprises Hiccup enough to kick him out of moroseness for a moment.]

Huh? Oh. Um.

[Well this is awkward. He sighs. She's making an effort. That's... really a good thing.]

Thanks. But I'll be okay.

[horvillemayor]

Are you sure? [Both about being okay, and not wanting waffles.]

I mean, I got chocolate chips and everything. And I'm making some anyway, and I can't eat them all by myself, so... [She runs a hand through her hair, looking about as awkward as she feels]

[worstvikingever]

[Lu you are confusing the poor boy. You had him killed in the most miserable way and then you offer him waffles? Okay so it wasn't in immediate succession, and the killing happened a while ago but still.]

Well. I mean. If you're making them anyway then I guess there's no point in saying no.

[backseat_dragon]

Hey! You're alright!

[worstvikingever]

Mostly, yeah.

[backseat_dragon]

Well, mostly is as good as we can do, really. Still, I'm glad.

[worstvikingever]

Thanks.

[ phone ]

[electrowhipit]

Hiccup? You okay?

[worstvikingever]

I will be.

Probably.

[electrowhipit]

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

[worstvikingever]

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

[ After hearing him on the phone, Chell's decided to go and check in on him.

Knock, knock. ]

[worstvikingever]

[He opens the door, a bit surprised to see her there. His arm is in a sling, but his shoulder is recovering well, thanks to Klaus making sure he was fixed up properly.]

Oh. Hi Chell.

[thinkwportals]

[ She seems to brighten up a bit when she sees him. It's nice to see that someone with a bit more, ahem, skill was able to take care of it.

Chell pulls out her notebook, concentrating as she writes something out. She's trying to make her handwriting cheerful. ]

HOW ARE YOU

[ It's the same old chicken scratch, but it's all in big letters. So that's something. ]

[worstvikingever]

Well. I've been better, that's for sure. But... I'm recovering, I guess.

...how are you?
