[Frey Gudbrand]

Saddle up and shut up

Frey had been working in his hut for most of the day, adjusting all the various saddles he had stored inside. At this rate he would have to start giving them to his fathers shop back on Berk, he was running out of storage, and when you run out of storage for the one thing you do all day then what else can you do besides sell? Lucky for him the saddle he was working on now wasn't technically one of his own making, it was for one of the riders here on the edge with him that had complained about their saddle being old, so instead of the rider having to get a new one he spoke up, a rare thing itself, and offered to fix the saddle, which was what he was doing now at the forge. 

Luna, his white nightmare, wa slaying beside him like a tired dog, curled up around the stood her rider was sitting on as she slept soundly, snoring every so often while Frey pealed off all the old material and tossed it, fitting his own hand picked leathers and fitting it himself.

It had been a week or so since Adelaide had made a trip to the Edge, having still spent most of her time back on Berk since she had only recently started getting into the whole rider thing. Her father hadn't allowed her to start out as a rider because he had felt she was too young, that she couldn't handle a large, powerful beast such as a winged reptile compared to her brother, Snotlout, and it had always infuriated and frustrated her to no end when he continued to refuse. She had finally put her foot down about six months ago and refused to allow only Snotlout and her father to have their hands dirty to training and handling dragons.

Now, here she was with her own dragon, the Tide Glider of exotic colors who she called Seaspray. The two were pulling up to the docks of Dragon's Edge, Adelaide holding on carefully to Seaspray's horns as the tide glider had only her head above the cold ocean waters, the two enjoying a peaceful swim to the island rather than flying like many of the others did. Once they were close, Adelaide carefully stepped onto the wooden planks before her dragon companion gave a soft huff as she followed her rider onto the docks and shook the water clinging to her scales, causing Adelaide to laugh slightly and raise her shield to block the droplets, "Seaspray!" She exclaimed as the tide glider gave out sounds of amusement and playfulness, gently nudging her rider.

Smiling, the red haired viking gently pet the exotic dragon's snout before leading the way up to where the huts were located. They weren't exactly expecting anyone to be there or at the very least outside, but shortly after coming up the final ramp Adelaide spotted a vaguely familiar face, having only seen glimpses of Grey here and there on Berk. For moment she was silent as she watched him work, wondering whose saddle he was having to repair but was brought from her curious silence by a gentle headbutt by Seaspray. "Sorry Seaspray, was just watching." Adelaide apologized before she approached Frey but being mindful of the white nightmare nearby. "Looks like one worn down saddle to work on." Adelaide spoke up, as Seaspray stood at her side, seeming to eye the man's dragon companion with curiosity.

Frey was standing now, huffing from the struggle of fitting the tight new leather, one of the hardest parts of working with materials he didn't like, but the owner had requested it so he had to supply. He went to go around the mount to start stitching the leather down but accidentally stepped on Luna's tail in the process. The monstrous nightmare jolted with a hiss, pulling her tail away. Frey knelt down and pet her apologetically. "Sorry, girl." He said softly and looked up as someone near spoke, words apperantly directed at him. He stood back up and slapped his hands together to dust them off, going back to stitching, "Yeah, remaking this one has been a mess." He sighed and pulled his stool to where he was, sitting on it and carefully stitching away. Normally he wasn't interested in anything anyone said but this new face caught him in the middle of work, so he was in a better mood than his hard expression revealed.

"I suggested making a new on entirely but the owner said this saddle has sentimental value of sorts." 

Luna grumbled, no dragon fancied being stepped on, and waking up to being stepped on made it worse. The white dragon turned her head on the pair of dragon and rider, giving a friendly smile. 

"I'm Frey, the dragon is Luna."

Adelaide watched with fascination as he pulled the leather tight, wincing when he accidently stepped on his own dragon’s tail by mistake. The man had patience, she could say that. Making saddles wasn’t exactly an easy task from what she heard and she was all for making or buying a new one when the time came since saddles only lasted so long. For now, Seaspray’s was still in pretty good shape with some minimal wear and tear, but nothing that could be taken care of. “Suppose that’s some saving grace, but certainly can’t make your job any easier.” Adelaide said with a nod, guessing the man at this point didn’t care to continue with an argument with what could technically be a customer so she left the matter as well.

“I’m Adelaide Jorgenson, and this is Seaspray.” Adelaide introduced, nodding to the side of her towards the Tide Glider who gave a friendly growl in greeting before the pink dragon scooted close to sniff at Luna curiously. But like Adelaide, it was clear she was young and had little concern for boundaries. “You living here on the Edge, Frey?” The young teen inquired curiously, knowing many of Berk’s riders had moved to here and it did leave her wondering if he too was a resident or only here some of the time.

Frey nodded in acknowledgement of the girl's introduction, looking the Tide Glider over as she approached Luna. His dragon wasn't normally one to socialize, much like himself, but even with her tail freshly stepped on she was willing to allow this new dragon to step close, giving a snort in response to being sniffed and sniffing Seaspray back. "Looks like someone made a friend." He said lightly, setting his needle and thread down once he finished up one side and leaned his elbow on he mount, paying more attention to the gilt as to not appear too rude. 

"I wasn't planning on living here but a friend talked me into it. I've only been sleeping in my hut here a little over a week." He explained a little too openly for his own liking, brows furrowing in thought as he moved his stool again and started to stitch down the other side, "What about you?"

Seaspray gave a happy sound before gently headbutting the Nightmare's side, wagging her tail back and forth in a playful manner, seeming to home the snoozing dragon would come play. "Seaspray," Adelaide called, causing the Tide Glider to glance back and give an annoyed huff knowing why her rider had called her back, finally stepping back slightly to give the other dragon some space. "Yea, sorry about that. Seaspray is still young like me so she doesn't exactly consider boundaries. But we're working on it." Adelaide said, tone apologetic while the Tide Glider gave a snort in response, still obviously annoyed at her rider's intervention.

"I might be soon. I've been slowly working on my hut and moving some stuff here, but it may be a while before I permanently live here." Adelaide answered, thinking of how her father might react if he found out she had plans to live here on the Edge. She didn't know if her brother ever would since he seemed so stuck under their father's thumb and was still living at home. Sometimes she worried about Snotlout, despite his obnoxious, bullying nature.

Frey shrugged as the woman apologized for her dragon being a little too close to Luna for his dragon's comfort. "It's fine. Luna is too grumpy and lazy to play with another dragon, isn't that right?" He asked in a playful manner to the white dragon, though his expression remained the same. Luna stood up and hissed at him, and as if just to prove him wrong she walked up to the tide glider and head butted her side gently in a playful manner. Frey rolled his eyes ant the sight and turned his attention back to the other rider. 

"Well if you ever need help moving something or whatever you can ask me." He made the offer lightly, though secretly he hoped his girl would take him up on it, without the shop back on Berk he didn't have much to do besides make new saddles that no one really needed, so it was honestly a waste of time.

Letting out excited growls, Seaspray crouched slightly while her tail wagged back and forth. She didn't seem to care much that the Nightmare before her might be easily angered or grumpy, she enjoyed having new companions or finding them and was more than happy to try and help them have some fun now and then. With a low growl, the Tide Glider flapped her wings and pushed off the ground, tackling the white Monstrous Nightmare but never losing her playful demeanor. It was something Adelaide couldn't help smiling about, knowing it wasn't often Seaspray got to really mess around or play fight with other dragons aside from maybe Fanghook.

"Well, my hut isn't entirely unpacked, I could maybe use an extra hand to help." Adelaide said, considering his offer. She didn't want to distract him from his work but at the same time a helping hand never hurt either. "You can help if you want Frey, long as I'm not putting you behind on anything with your saddles." The red head told him, being mindful of wasting any valuable time of someone she had just met.

Frey figured what the hell. "I'm all caught up and ahead of schedule." He wiped his hands off on a rag which looked like it used to be white before he closed the box on his needles and thread. "We can go now, it would give us a better chance to know one another or something like that... Since I am part of this team now." He didn't seem too enthusiastic about having to make friends with people, but he knew if he really wanted to be a rider then he would have to. "At least our dragons are getting along. Which is odd, Luna normally bites when people or dragons bother her." He commented, a laugh in his tone as the white nightmare hissed in response to the tide glider pouncing her, though her demeanor changed playful quickly. Luna gave the other dragon's leg a playful nip, intending on winning their little wrestle match.

"By all means, don't hide your enthusiasm." Adelaide chuckled, taking quick notice of the lack of enthusiasm Frey showed. Perhaps he wasn't exactly so fond of people or so fond of doing things that involved other people. Or, Adelaide just picked a rotten time to cut into his usual work day. "With all things considered, you don't have to help if you don't want to Frey. I don't want to be a bother." Adelaide pointed out, figuring it was better to give a final chance for Frey to decline entirely. He had made the offer in the first place, but it only felt right to keep the option on the table for him to back out of said offer.

But she gave the dragons another look, chuckling softly. "Well, the older riders always say dragons will surprise you." Seaspray made a surprised noise when she was nipped, but narrowed her eyes as she was determined to keep the upperhand against the Nightmare. She had had her fair share of wrestling matches with Fanghook, and she wasn't about to be tripped up by this white one. Giving a soft snort, the exotic Tide Glider flapped her wings to try and get some air, intending to try a different approach to this little wrestling match.

Frey scoffed as she spoke, shaking his head, "The only way you'd be a bother was if you told me my craftsmanship is below average." It was his way of telling a joke, though he didn't smile or laugh, and instead cleaned everything up while the two dragons played, and once done he turned to start walking towards the huts, seeming eager to leave and get to it. "You coming?" He asked as he looked over his shoulder at her.

Luna warbled in a more playful tone, leaping up to bring the Tide Glider back down, careful not to hurt the other dragon.

"Yea, right behind you." Adelaide gave the dragons one final look before she followed after Frey towards the huts, still a little surprised he decided not to decline the offer after all. "And the saddle work is pretty good actually. You probably could give Hiccup a run for his hacksilver." Adelaide commented as she came to walk beside the man, quite impressed with his craftsmanship with the saddles. Hiccup could make a good looking, sturdy saddle himself and probably made half the saddles for the current riders but it never hurt to have another craftsman around. Something for those who rode Tidal class dragons though could prove tricky since a somewhat water resistant saddle would be of some use since her Tide Glider went beneath the waves so often.

Letting out a surprised sound from being pulled down, Seaspray fell onto her side but wasn't hurt from being pulled. "Guess I have to be a little faster when it comes to you." Seaspray mused, rolling back onto her two feet, spreading her wings only slightly and having a playful determination in her eyes.

Notes: Hope you don't mind Seaspray and luna maybe talking Silver XD

Frey almost smiled at the praise, but instead turned back around and continued walking towards the huts, "Glad you think so. I'm just glad Hiccup doesn't want to start a business making saddles, would put my dad out of a job." He joked, knowing full well Hiccup wouldn't keep up with demand, nor would he have the time nor desire to run a saddle making shop. 

Lune smirked and wiggled on her haunches like a cat getting ready to pounce, "Faster and a little bit stronger." She teased playfully, suddenly lunging, acting as if she were to land left of the Tide Glider, but instead landed on the right and letting out a pretend hiss, as if she were about to strike.

A soft laugh left Adelaide then, "Please, the man barely had time to himself anymore. Between being chief and handling his usual concerns with the academy and riders, he seems to rarely have much free time at all." She spoke, having never seen one Viking so busy since Stoick himself. She had not really known her uncle but she had known he seemed to be busy often with things and rarely took many breaks, but that was what Hiccup had been needed for or her own father.

As they approached the huts, Adelaide actually stopped Frey, "Actually, my hut isn't set up around the others." She told him, approaching the edge of the cliff side and gesturing to a hut built on a wooden platform beside one of the beaches of the island. "Since me and Seaspray spend so much time near the sea, I decided to make my home here right beside it. Short walk from the docks but decently out of sight." She told him, before leading him down the ramps towards the hut.

"Or, just a little more tricky." Seaspray had tried moving towards the side to avoid where Luna was pouncing, but she nearly bumped right into the Nightmare when she changed direction. Playful glint in her eyes, the Tide glider fired a harmless jet of water towards Luna's face just as a distraction before taking flight, shooting upwards to get some distance, "Keep up if you can!"

FREY GUDBRAND "I told him to jump. It's my fault he's dead." Frey  shrugged and looked around. "Sean moved back and forth all the time. The people I came here with all moved back really, and use this like an outpost... I think that's what it was supposed to be to begin with. I hope it gets more members though. I could set up a shop perhaps."
