Preparing

[ex_dragonnerd309]

[Hiccup is unusually serious today. He has a few bruises on his face, and he looks a bit more tired than usual. He's sitting on the Astral floor, with drawings around him. The pictures are about a huge, blue dragon, surrounded by arrows and side notes. It almost looks like a battle plan.]

Wish I'd seen if he could fly or not... [Hiccup mutters, biting his lower lip.]

[Dorks have to stand by their fellow dorks :Bb]

Anyway, your world must be pretty awesome, because dragons! I mean, I have salamanders on my word, and they're ok, but dragons are so much cooler.

[ex_dragonnerd309]

[To the Dorkmobile!]

I know, right? Though at the beginning they were scary... But then I got to know Toothless. But they're still scary, in an other way. I can't wait to see if we can be friends with them... even if it seems impossible now.

[windyheir]

Nothing's impossible if you put your mind to it. I'm sure they're just as scared of you as you are of them. You both just have to get over that scared-ness.

[ex_dragonnerd309]

[Hiccup smiles, nodding.] Thank you! I know all of that. Toothless and I started out like that too, it took me a while to get close to him. Now he's my best friend... And I put him in danger too. [He sighs.] So I have to save them. All of them...!

[windyheir]

See, you're falling into that trap of being too wound up about stuff. Just keep your cool, or else you'll break everything by worrying too much. If nothing else, you can take a short break here to clear your mind and focus on it later.

[ex_dragonnerd309]

[Hiccup bites in his lips.] It's just that I was always worried, all in my life... And if this time's not the time for real worry, then I don't know what is...

[windyheir]

Time kinda sorta doesn't work the same here, you can goof off for a couple hours and nobody will know the difference.

[John routinely goes zooming around like a windy asshole because why not?]

Or do I need to drag you off to do something fun?

[ex_dragonnerd309]

Eh, uh right now? I need to- I need to make a plan, they need me, I can't just go and have fun while my people might be in danger...! [Slightly neurotic Hiccup appears.]

[windyheir]

They're still going to be right where you left them no matter how much time you take here, so come on!

[He'll reach out to try to tug at Hiccup's arm now.]
