He'd been half tempted to just let this be the treaty that petered out on its own, did it really need to be dealt with directly? He supposed he couldn't send a terror mail(like hel he'd send a defenseless Terrible Terror to these...Rather unique...People...), HE was nervous enough coming out this way, the last visit had ended with a grand adventure that he'd never asked for, to rescue someone he knew nothing about, because of some shady plot where her kidnappers were supposed to think that she was the daughter...Or something...Regardless, that vnture had nearly cost him his right arm, and he was not keep to find out what body part he would almost lose this time either.
Toothless could sense his rider's discomfort with the current situation as the pair cut through the sky at a quick pace, but instead of being a good and supportive friend, the Night Fury only chortled out a laugh and looked back at the one-eyed viking, 'well...The girl will be excited to see you again, aren't you just dripping with excitement to see her?' Hiccup's face dropped into a dry look as he eyes the reptile, "leaping with joy." He snorted, shaking his head, "next time I'm bringing Hookfang, you can stay on Berk, how 'bout that?" He gave the dragon a pointed smile, then squinted, "there it is..." He sighed, leaning forwards and shifting his feet to take them down, touching down in front of the meeting place.
"Well, no time like the present..." Stalling. He knew this, so after a moment he sighed and pushed in through the doors, looking around half carefully as he and the black dragon behind him stepped inside. WORDS: 000 TAGS: @ruby NOTES: "Speech"

He had to suppress a visible cringe when eh heard the extremely excited voice before actually spotting the girl, she was nice enough, but rescuing her had been as much a bane as it was the right thing to do, especially given all the passes she'd made at him the whole way home, it was hard to fly straight with someone clinging to you whispering sweet nothings in your ear...At least when those sweet nothings were wholly unwanted. But he managed to slap on the most enthused smile he could manage when she approached him, "Baby! Uh...Hey!"
He looked a little confused when she claimed she had no idea she was coming, in fact, it was weird that she was literally the only person here to greet him, but he shook the thought away, "you didn't? Yeah...Your uh...Chief sent a message..." He cocked a brow and gestured with his hands as he spoke, "how's a whole treaty just...Magically turn up shredded anyway?" That was a question to be answered another time he supposed.
"Uh...huh...Your chief's letter, got it." Since when did he use terrible terrors? In fact, he hadn't even seen many terrible terrors on this island aside from Baby's...The thought brought him up short and he gave her a suspicious glance from his good eye, squinted a bit, "yeah, well I drew up a new one, lets hope this one doesn't just...Mysteriously...Turn up in the ocean this time, eh?" He smirked a little, clearly more amused by this entire mess than he was put off...Though it was not a short flight over here by any stretch of the word.
He chuckled and waved his arm around vaguely, "well it's still attached, so that' a plus...My last run in with Viggo wasn't quite so lucky though..." He chuckled and shook his head, raising a brow when she mentioned a party, "well...Who needs an excuse to have a party..." Although he was a little bit wary of what a party here, with her, and her family, would end up being like...He made a mental note to take extra care when watching his drink, his mind went in wild directions when he considered all the ways this could horribly backfire, but he shook his head, "sounds like fun." Fun was subjective, but it would be interesting at any rate.
His good eye widened when she put a hand to his chest, and he laughed, a little more nervous than intended, "Oh yeah?" He turned a helpless glance at Toothless, who chortled out a warbly laugh at his rider's distress. Hiccup mouthed the word 'traitor' at the dragon before turning back to Baby, "well, lead on then...I'm...I'm just leaping with joy..." WORDS: 000 TAGS: @ruby NOTES: "Speech"

He crossed his arms over his chest, raising a brow as he watched her carefully, squinting his good eye with a scrutinizing stare. Bugs. Bugs? He knew it was fairly useless to even question that, it was a fairly transparent excuse and it didn't even take someone as smart as he was to see what had really transpired here, he let out a defeated sigh and fixed her with a smirk that was half amused, half not, "those are some...Interesting insects, can't say we have paper shredding bugs on Berk but, uh, well I've seen weirder." He shrugged it off, deciding that it was best left there, he figured he might as well try to enjoy his time here...If that was at all possible.
Keeping it in the family, well, that certainly explained a few things, he didn't say this out loud of course, but the more this girl spoke, the more he was considering hopping on Toothless and hightailing it out of there as quickly as possible, "yeah, uh, well...I guess fresh blood is...Good?" He gave another forced smile, and a laugh that was bordering on hysterical nerves.
Hiccup smirked at that and rose a brow, "I mean I could...Legs metal not broken..." His last chance to escape slipped away when she took his hand in a vice-like grip and dragged him out, Toothless trotting to keep up as he continued to tease and warble out mocking laughter at his hapless rider, 'she really really likes you, it's cute.' Hiccup fixed the Night Fury with a displeased scowl, "shut up you...Useless reptile...I'll give you to Snotlout as a Snoggletog present." The dragon mocked him further, before he turned his attention to Baby, "your family, eh? Can't wait..." The dry tone in his voice barely managed to hide how much he could wait.
When she lowered her voice, and talked about him being made into pie, he screwed his face up and laughed nervously, looking around, "cannibals? Great. Because the Outcasts weren't bad enough..." He rolled his good eye, trying to fight off the look of dread when she announced where they were going. WORDS: 000 TAGS: @ruby NOTES: "Speech"

### words for @ruby "Hiccup" - "Toothless" A PERFECTLY CONSTRUCTED ALIBI It was actually interesting, in the most disturbing way possible, to learn about this place. His visit the last time had been decidedly brief, more because the girl currently dragging him along like a reluctant dog on a leash had mad him wildly uncomfortable with the few well places gropes she'd given him, still, it was a place and a culture he'd never seen before, so his attention was genuinely drawn when she recounted how the place had wound up so distinctly split like it was, "really? Some argument..." He chuckled, raising a brow as he followed her through the door, and the difference really was like night and day.
He was his with the sudden smell of filth and...Who knows what else...And had to try his damnedest not to wrinkle his nose in distaste as he followed her down the steps, minding the cracks and breaks so his metal foot didn't get caught or stuck in any of them, "Uh...Clearly..." Naked protests and orgies? Just what kind of place was he walking in to?!
He got his answer when they made their way out onto the square, and the immediate discomfort that he felt entering this place was staggering. He fully expected to be stabbed, or...Yep...All the hair on the back of his neck stood up when he felt a hand run over his side, and he twisted with a wide eyed expression to figure out who'd done it, his whole posture was tense and visibly uncomfortable. This topped facing down a mad man and his behemoth in sheer discomfort and unpleasantness. Hands down.
He tried to ignore the call out, glancing to the source of it, then back to Baby with an 'are you fucking serious' kind of expression, "compliment? That guy was completely covered in blood...That was a threat..." He looked back behind him, not feeling confident in leaving any side open to attack in this place.
He was glad when they finally got to their destination, briefly, because in the next moment he was being stared down by a behemoth of a man, who looked a bit more like a yak crossed with a bear. When the man asked if he was who she said, he swallowed, "before I answer that...Are you going to literally break me if I say yes?" He gave the man an awkward, toothy grin and a nervous laugh, ducking down a little when that question was answered by the clenching fist and his words, "ahahaha....Yeah...Uh..." He glanced to the Night Fury behind him, who was slowly approaching closer with his ears lowered defensively.
He was thanking every god above when the small blonde lady subdued the titan with a few words, and let out a relieved sigh, which was promptly knocked clear out of him when he was slapped so hard he was on the ground a foot or two from where he'd been standing previously. Toothless let out a concerned warble and went to go help his rider to his feet, just in time to be squeezed in a death grip by the other woman. His reply came out in a wheezy and labored squeak, "H-hello ma'am...Odinhelpmeyou'reverystrong..." He let out a gasp when he was finally released, looking to the side at Baby.
"A room?...Oh! Oh no no no! Ah...haha...No! Uhm...I'm here for uh...Well y'know..." He eyed Baby with a smirk, "some mysterious...Bugs...Unfortunately made hash of the treaty, so I was delivering a new one." He cleared his throat, "your daughter uh...Invited me to a party..." But he was starting to regret his decision to agree to that.

### words for @ruby "Hiccup" - "Toothless" A PERFECTLY CONSTRUCTED ALIBI All the color momentarily drained from Hiccup's face when the woman spoke, and he could not recall a single thing in his life that he'd ever wanted to hear less than what tumbled out so freely, "Ahaa..." His good eye widened when she came nose to nose and he lifted his hands, stumbling back a little bit, "Ah-well...Apple fell pretty far this time!" His voice cracked as he stumbled out his words, "I'm not really interested in...Uh...That...In a room or otherwise!" He gave a crooked sort of grin, glad when Baby scolded her mother for divulging such...Interesting...Facts about his father. It was hard to imagine Stoick the Vast in a place like this, not that he even wanted to begin to, but he supposed no one could be expected to just stop having human needs...He did think his mother was dead after all...
He was glad when the conversation was directed away from that particular subject, back to the party, though he was feeling less enthused for that as well, especially when Mern made a comment about Toothless having to be left behind, "Uh..." He shared a glance with the Night Fury, looking clearly disconcerted about the idea, he'd been more gunshy about being separated since the incident with Viggo, and the thought of leaving Toothless alone in a place like this sent off even more alarm bells about the entire situation, "I-I guess..." He mumbled the response to Baby when she mentioned the ebony dragon having fun with her own.
His thoughts were entirely chased away by the horrible gong that rattled through his entire body and damn near burst an ear drum, he covered his ears and made a displeased face, "Odin above that's loud..." He looked at Baby, only catching a bit of what she said as he nodded and followed after her, Toothless shaking the rattling out of his head as he trailed behind them. He wasn't entirely as excited to meet the rest of her crazy family as she seemed to be, but in the interest of being polite in a situation where he was entirely out numbered, he swallowed that apprehension, trying to put on a face that said 'glad to be here', but came off as more 'this is how I die' than anything.

### words for @ruby "Hiccup" - "Toothless" A PERFECTLY CONSTRUCTED ALIBI He was feeling more than a little ruffled by literally everything that was going on around him, but for the moment his fight or flight instincts had decided that he wasn't in any immediate physical danger, at least not yet, so his whole demeanor had somewhat calmed from the nervousness that he'd been feeling before. He glanced to the side when Baby spoke and scoffed a little, rolling an eye, "it's fine, I mean I could have gone my entire life without hearing about Stoick's...Escapades...But y'know, no harm done." He gave her an awkward, lopsided grin at that, he didn't know what either of them had planned, but he was fairly sure that he would need to remain both on his toes, and as sober as possible, for the duration of this visit.
When Mern cut in however, and brought up the subject of her daughter's...Assets...Hiccup's face turned a deep shade of red and he stumbled a little, "e-excuse me?!" He cleared his throat and turned his face away, letting out a slightly annoyed huff, "neither entirely matter to me because I'm...Ah...Off the market." Was he actually off the market? That was a complicated question to answer, he had a fair few people that he would like to take him off the market...He turned his attention back to her, "a-and anyway...That's the least important thing to me...Looks and uh...Assets..." He was keen to leave this conversation for now, glad when Baby scolded her mother and changed the subject.
Toothless lifted his foot and Hiccup stumbled against Baby a bit when the dragon pushed through them, raising a brow as he watched him slink into the swampy waters, glancing to the side when she explained the behavior, "interesting..." He gasped softly at the sight of the skull, feeling his skin crawl at her words, "s-scraps?! Uh...So how does one end up as...Scraps..." Toothless looked indignant as he glanced from the murky water to the girl like she'd uttered the most offensive words in the world, Hiccup chuckled, looking over at the dragon, "wouldn't that be fun, Bud?" Toothless responded by butting his head hard into his rider's back, making a sound that was the dragon equivalent of a 'fuck you' as the pair followed their guides.
