[Henretta Choi]

Henretta was often too busy with Aux rider missions or simply hanging out with her other firends to truely enjoy time to herself. Herself and Gummy. The two had been inseperatable since she first came to the island and found him.. Back then it was them against the word. Them and their survival. Them and their fun! Oh how things had changed... Her navy blue nadder had once been so small, and much more adventerous than he was now days, but that was expected when every turn he was having to save his rider form falling off a cliff or something the like. Henry glanced at Gummy, who’s eyes were off on the horizen. “Thinkin’ bout the good ol’ days too budy?” She asked and eblowed him, and just as she looked up at him a branch swatted her in the face, making her beloved dragon errupt in a serious of amused squacks. Henry shoved him for laughing, though she was giggling herself, swatting the branch away and breaking it. 

“Alright wise guy, how about it? Race to the beach?” She asked with a raised brow, earning a scoff from her dragon, who took off ahead of her like a bullet. “No fair!” The Brunette called out, chasing after Gummy as fast as her legs would take her. Though she was quick, and had plenty of stanima to last her, Gummy was faster and could last even longer... However, he had never been aware of his sorroundings, and that being said, it wouldn’t be long before-

Henry had a sudden pain in her nose the same time a ‘thud’ greeted her ears, and an angry squack from Gummy, who had just run nose first into a tree full force. It was amazing it was only his nose that had been hurt, but the pain didn’t phase Henry for long, she sped past her dragon, who let out a frustrated warble and jumped to his feet again, although it was too late, Henry was already halfway across the beach by the time he had made it to the clearing, scidding to a halt just before she hit the water and turning back to look at the dragon to see how far he was behind, only to have him barell over her, bringing them both to the ground in a fit of laughing, the race quickly turning into a wrestling match. Both dragon and rider were blissfuly unaware of the ship wreck, or more so, the boy on the other side of it. The cave they rested in wasn’t too far down the beach, they were always aware that the ship had been there, but the idea of someone living inside of it, possibly there now, wasn’t any of their consern.

Hallgrim wasn't unused to the odd dragon screech or yell. They cropped up occasionally, often when he was hidden away in his special little place. Today was like any other day - chilly, perhaps a bit windy, with dull, monotonous work for breakfast and hypothermia for dessert. He wasn't particularly alarmed by Henry's appearance - he knew that she and her Nadder liked to frequent the beach, but he wasn't quite sure why - but it was an odd happenstance nonetheless. Curiously, and with every caliber of caution that he could manage, Hallgrim poked his head out from underneath the thick moss-curtain that blocked the ship's entrance.

He could hear pebbles scattering along the beach, as though flung about by someone's rough-and-tumble game, and Gummy's squawks carried easily along the choppy beach waves. Slightly reassured that they weren't looking in his direction, Hallgrim took a few cautious steps outward.

HENRY CHOI TEXT - "SPEECH"  The young woman grabbed up handfulls of snad, throwing it into the air above them with a laugh, while Gummy flopped onto his side, rolling around in the warm sand happily.  Henry flopped ontop of him, catching her breath inbetween happy giggles. “Time for some sunbathing buddy?” Her dragon crooned happily at the proposal, curling up more while his rider stood, looking around the beach curiously. She hummed, hands on her hips as she eyed the horizen, perking up and sniffing the air as something other that ocean and fish caught her nose. Henry’s head whipped around, and she beamed as her eyes cought sight of Hallgrim. She threw a hand in the air, waving excitedly, “Hi! Hey! You! Come over here, I’m gonna catch a fish!” She prompted eagerly, and headed towards the water, rolling up her pants legs before trecking into the shallow where fish rolled about with the waves.

Hallgrim stuttered backwards when Henry's gaze locked onto him. How in the world... did she... did she just detect him with scent? That was... unpredicted. Hallgrim paused. Henry looked friendly enough, though much more energized than Hallgrim was.

Well. Time to get the awkward encounter overwith.

Hallgrim took a few steps forward, muscles ready to run. "You..." he said, "you're going to catch a fish? Without any nets?"

He stopped a good few feet away from Henry, refusing to get wet, and he cast a nervous glance at the ocean. Fishing brought back memories that he'd rather not remember.

HENRY CHOI TEXT - "SPEECH"  Henry laughed at the man's question as to how she'd fish without supplies. "We must not have met before if you don't know the answer to that. I'm Henry." She laughed, adjusting her goggles before she took a stance, squatting slightly with her hands on her spread knees as she watched the water like a cat. "All about the hands." She hummed, biting her lip with eyes going from fish to fish before she struck a hand down, yanking a scaly small fish from the water with a mad laugh, holding it above her head. "See!" She hobbled out of the water, throwing the fish to Gummy, who caught it in his mouth and ate it happily. The blue nadder tilted his head curiously at Hallgrim, though the human didn't have his attention for  long, he put his head back down and went right back to sleep. Henretta stuck her hand out, taking Hallgrim's hand without skipping a beat and shook it firmly, continuing to do so as she spoke. "It's nice to meet a new face!"

Hallgrim yelped as Henry's enthusiastic handshake took him by surprise. In a moment, he regained his composure and looked at his hand in disgust, flicking off nasty fish-juice and whatever else Henry might've had on her hands.

"Nice to meet you too, Henry," Hallgrim said, shooting a lopsided and nervous smile at the clearly deranged person. He glanced at the water. "That's, ah... that's some impressive fishing. I work on fishing boats sometimes, but I've never used my hands... not that I've really had any reason to."

Hallgrim rubbed his wrist idly and took a lazy step to the side, struggling to meet Henry's eyes. He shook like a leaf in the wind, though from cold or nervousness he didn't know.

HENRY CHOI TEXT - "SPEECH"  Henry couldn’t help but give off a laugh as Hallgrim shook his hand afterwards, nor could she blame him. Her grabbers weren’t exactly ... well nothing about he was clean. When was the last time she’d taken a bath? ugh. She shoved the B word from her head quickly, looking this new friend over, up and down, her blue and green eyes appeared to like what they were seeing, even through her now murky goggles. She took them off, souls to wipe them of their foggyness, before putting them back on, hands on her hips as she eagerly circled the man. “I hear that a lot. People like to use nets to fish, or rods and string, but I could never use any of those things. Much easier for me to just use my hands.”        She chirped and stopped wlaking around him, standing in front of him again, looking around, eyes slipping into confusion. “You uh... You live on Berk, but I don’t see- or smell any kind of dragon that could be yours? Do you not have one?”

Hallgrim shrugged. "Everybody to their own, I guess."

After a moment, he shook his head. "Dragon? No. Trust me, I've been trying."

Hallgrim walked in a small circle, paused, and sighed. "Nobody thinks me responsible enough to befriend one. Nobody gives the dirty street rat any opportunity, I guess. How am I supposed to make my own opportunity if nobody has allowed me to have any experience in something other than cleaning out stables for a living?"

He kicked a stone angrily.

[Henretta Choi]

HENRY CHOI TEXT - "SPEECH"  Henry was surprised, shocked, that Hallgrim was saying... the villagers thought him unfit to have a dragon. She giggled, slapping her hand to her mouth... and in the next moment she was doubled over, wheezing from laughing so hard, one hand wrapped around her aching side, the other on her knee so she didn’t fall over, she always laughed like a maniac, but this was new. Finally she wiped her face, continuing to giggle out through her words. “Responsibility? Yeah, that’s got nothin’ to do with owning a dragon my friend.  In fact, recklessness is how most people around here ended up getting dragons... hell, that’s the whole reason we have dragons! I was just five when I waddled into a wild nadder nest here on Berk before we were allowed to have ‘em. Think that stopped me from getting my blue nadder right there?” She guestured to Gummy, all the giggles had left her body now, and she gave Hallgrim a sweet smile, shaking her head, “Well, look at it this way. Berk has lots of good people. People who’d love to help you, hell, maybe your life long dragon buddy is already here on Berk! You just gotta look. I don’t mean glance around and give up. I mean walk your ass to the wilds and catch and tame a wild dragon if you have to. All in good nature, you hurt a dragon and I’ll track you down.” She warned playfully, and Gummy came to stand by her side, tilting his head to peek at Hallgrim. Henry pat his head, though her eyes didn’t leave Hallgrim. “And your job don’t matter either. A full grown dragon can take care of themselves just fine. Captive or not, I’ve never seen a dragon that couldn’t catch food for himself- unless it was sick or injured of course, but that’s another thing all together.” She mounted Gummy, who was lacking any sort of saddle or brindle. She had always preferred bare back flight. It felt more natural when in the sky, nothing but her and her dragon against the world. She smiled broadly, adjusting her goggles for the millionth time.  “If you’ve never had a dragon then you’ve never flown before. How about a tour? A circle around the island? Nothing scary, no fancy maneuvers?”

Hallgrim seemed to strike a hopeful, lopsided smile at Henry's words. He rubbed a forearm nervously.

"Well," he said, "I suppose if I'm going to get in trouble, I might as well get in trouble for something interesting."

The boy closed his eyes, opened them again, and took a deep breath. He was probably going to die on a dragon-flight with this maniac, though it would definitely be a way to go out in style, and it would be a death by a friendly maniac, so that was something.

He took a step towards Henry. "Sure, I guess. A tour it is!"
