Hiccup had dealt with plenty of baby dragons but that didn‘t make these handful of them any easier, getting rushed and batting them lightly with his hand then scratching and rubbing their soft scales as they swarmed. “Oh boy, you guy sure are lively.” A sleepy Toothless swept them away with his tail. They didn’t seem severally bothered and rushed to hop all over their mother instead.

There was something nice about this- a complete family.

Toothless got to his feet, stretching out in a cat like manner before heading out as well to warm his scales with sunlight and briefly roll around in the grass as the hatchlings played. Aurora made a really good mother from what he could see. Too bad he couldn’t stick around and help out with this though he would NEVER tell anyone about how Toothless had barfed up a fish for him and expected him to eat it. He got shudders just watching Aurora do the same for the babies.

He glanced at Castiel with a weak smile “yeah. I really have to get back to Berk… but I’m sure our dragons and the hatchlings will be fine with you helping out with things.” He assured. “If I wasn’t chief… I would stay.” He straightened to his feet “but I am and I can’t.”
