[Sean Avrid]

SEAN AVRID "I'm not helpless... Unless you say so." Dragon's Edge was home to Sean now, the most familliar to him for the past few months he had been staying there, training and slowly working up the courage to meet the other members. Of course, it was also kind of like a vacation spot now with the lack of missions. Of course, it was still nice to be able to return to Berk to see and smell everything he had before. The smell of fish and farm animals would probably make any outsider sick, but it was something Sean had grown up around and been raised with. To him it was the smell of home.  He hadn't seen his parents' boat by the docks or in their home, which meant they were out fishing and had no clue of their son's return. It didn't matter to him, he was excited to tell them about his adventures and new life as a Dragon Rider, but that could wait. For the time he had two options. Cook something and wait until they returned, or walk around his villiage on the back of his dragon. He pondered on what to do as he landed in the center of Berk's houses, remaining on Seashore's back as he looked around, wondering if any familliar faces were around.

Hiccup Haddock The Chief Has Returned... Stress is second nature to a chieftain... He'd heard his father say that a few times, when things got especially rough and intense around the village, but then, Stoick had always been fairly good at handling stress, and Hiccup was fairly jealous of his ability to do that. The young chief tended to not handle his stress all that well, and when it got too bad, he tended to duck out and flee, to fly to the far side of the village, or to the Edge, or to an isolated place where it could just be himself, Toothless, and his thoughts. But he'd been running so much lately that he feared maybe people were losing faith in him, and that added a whole new level of stress on to the young man, so many expectations, so many titles to live up to, so many things that everyone wanted him to be that he didn't feel entirely capable of being. He'd never once asked for any of this, even in teaching his closest friends to ride dragons, right at the start of all of this, he hadn't done so with the expectation that he would be exalted to such a high level. But here he was, set up on some pedestal that he really never asked to be on, being chief wouldn't be half as bad if he didn't have a million other high praises to maintain, and when he happened to slip, to fall to human error, it hit him doubly because there was always that lingering fear that it would be the final straw that threw him back into the dark, where people wished a dragon would carry him away. He felt a nudge and heard a soft croon when Toothless bumped him with his head, realizing he'd stopped walking in the middle of the village, lost in his thoughts. He was surprised to see a familiar face though when he took in his surroundings, chuckling softly and giving a wave, "Sean! Good to see you dropping in for a visit!" He came closer, reaching a hand to pat Seashore's nose affectionately, "how are things?" "Hiccup" - "Toothless"

SEAN AVRID "I'm not helpless... Unless you say so." Sean started to slide down off his dragon when Hiccup's voice caused him to jolt, and he stumbled, though his dragon's tail caught him and righted him before he could hit the ground, puffing smoke through his nose at his clumsy rider before nuzzling against the other human's hand happily. "Hiccup?" He turned and stood upright, "It's good to see you too! I don't have any paint buckets this time or anything, don't worry." He rubbed his neck with a faint blush, remembering what had happened last time. He smiled to Toothless and offered a small wave, finding it odd that the dragon seemed to be missing ... both tail fins and his saddle. But otherwise he looked okay so he didn't bother asking.  "I'm just staying a few days to visit with my folks, but they're out on a fishing trip so my stay might be extended."

Hiccup Haddock The Chief Has Returned... He lifted a hand to catch the boy when he suddenly stumbled off of his dragon, but let out a soft breath when he saw his dragon get the job done, giving him a smirk and putting a hand on his shoulder, "sorry, didn't mean to startle you!" He pulled back and chuckled, looking amused when he brought up the paint buckets that had been dropped on his head when they'd first met, "you sure? Because I was thinking purple this time, might suit me better." He went to wink, but realized a bit too late that with one eye covered by an eyepatch, the gesture was more like an awkward blink, it was something he was still getting used to. Toothless grumbled out a greeting as he bumped against the smaller blonde, licking over his hands and face with a friendly croon, "oh yeah? You just missed 'em, they headed out this morning!" He chuckled and waved for him to follow, glancing back at him curious, "things going okay on the Edge?" He let out a soft sigh, his jaw setting tight just a little bit, "things have been easy there, but you guys might have to start mobilizing soon." He rubbed at the bridge of his nose and shook his head, feeling that uncomfortable ache again, "we're on the edge of an all out war with Viggo and his trappers. After he took Toothless..." He glanced at the Night Fury, reaching to run a hand over his nose, "everyone wants a war, I'm just trying to keep myself from falling apart..." He cleared his throat and glanced to the side, giving Sean a tight smile, "but you didn't come home to listen to me complain, where are you headed?" "Hiccup" - "Toothless"

SEAN AVRID "I'm not helpless... Unless you say so." Sean blushed faintly as his hero's hand made contact with his shoulder, if only for a brief moment. He reacted a little too late to the dragon licking him, giggling softly with a small snort in his laugh. He wipes dragon off his face and followed Hiccup as they started walking, the wink Hiccup made not regestering since the eyepatch was covering the other eye. "Yeah, I heard about that mess with Viggo. Word travels fast around the egde." Sean frowned when Hiccup seemed to mope, and then his attitude changed. He was never one to be nosy, but seeing a friend stressed... Especially his chief and idol... Well he only knew two solutions for such things, one being food. "I was planning on cooking something, maybe sweet rolls?"  Sean suggested, curious to whether Hiccup would be interested in helping, or eating what he made. What better way to clear your mind than with sugary sweet foods? "People at the edge seem to like my cooking. I don't think you've ever had the chance to try it."

Hiccup Haddock The Chief Has Returned... He nodded, running a hand over Toothless' head when the dragon pushed up under his arm, the gesture made him smile a bit, "it's been...Well Viggo did this to Toothless." He indicated the tail, his eyes grave for a moment, "I've had to completely start from square one, we're fine, we'll get the hang of flying like this...But it still happened." He felt conflicted, seek revenge through an all out war, not knowing what kind of mess they were be up against, or take this slow, he knew that Valka and Heather would prefer to jump right into war, but that wasn't logical or smart from his point of view, "I can't just throw Berk into a war when we don't even know what we're fighting against." He rubbed a hand against the bridge of his nose, "but I'm afraid if I don't act soon, people will notice, and they'll call me weak." He remembered the words Henry had used before he left to face Viggo, that it was his responsibility to avenge Toothless, he supposed it still was, "it's eating me alive..." His attention was diverted when Sean mentioned cooking, and sweet rolls, and he laughed, hooking an arm around his neck, "that sounds better than moping around and letting stress eat me alive!" He chuckled, letting him go, "alright, I wouldn't mind helping, I'm rubbish in the kitchen though, so you'll have to tell me what to do!" He gestured for him to lead the way, glad for a distraction from all this mess in his head. "Hiccup" - "Toothless"

SEAN AVRID "I'm not helpless... Unless you say so."     Sean frowned and grabbed Hiccup's hand gently wit his petite fingers, looking up at the man with his other hand on his hip, "There's a point when it's not just about saving dragons Hiccup. I know what happened because Henry told us after you came home. Or... me anyway."     He cleared his throat and continued, mentally stringing his words together as carefully as he could, throwing out his crush on the boy for a moment, "Viggo must have been waiting for a moment to strike. That means he's spying on Berk, and preumptively planning how he's going to kidnap people. It sounds like he's out for revenge against you too. What if it wasn't Toothless he had taken? What of he had taken you? What if he had taken your mother?"     He gave Hiccup's hand an assuring squeeze, bright blue eyes gleamed with worry that the same man who had kidnapped their chief's dragon could be lurking around the corner. "I don't think a guy like that is beyond hurting Berk or people to get to you." He cleared his throat and pulled Hiccup forawrds like a toddler leading their parent, wanting to drop the topic and start cooking sweet foods, and perhaps getting to know his hero a little better. "Nevermind all that mess, what you need is some icing and sugar." He said with a slowly rising smile, looking over his shoulder at the young chief, worried eyes quickly brightening and beaming as he loosened his grip on Hiccup's hand, giving him free will to pull away if he wished. "You don't have to be good in the kitchen to cook. You can help mix and stuff if you'd like?"
