She was surprised about the amount of time she'd been out but that was expected. It wasn't everyday one found out they'd been asleep for so many hours straight- and he knew this from experience. Vaguely he wondered if waking without a voice gave her the same pang of shock he suffered when he realized he was down one foot. He was every bit sympathetic but he was also a viking and they didn't nitpick battle wounds. He'd lost his leg for his village, she'd lost her voice for him... needless to say that in that light he felt her sacrifice was unfair. With a look at her fingers he nodded to confirm what he had previously said. He thought she'd go back to eating even though his cooking probably didn't fair much better than either of his parents (after two days without any food even his mother's meatballs would probably even sit well on the stomach) but instead she picked up the charcoal stick again and returned to writing. He leaned closer to take a look and furrowed his brows. There probably wasn't any better way to put that. 

"Yeah..." He rubbed his fingers at his hair, still stressed over what it came to back there, one hand slipping over the strands to tense against his neck "I... handled it." Somehow it wasn't actually that hard. He'd looked him in the eyes and saw no guilt. Still- he never thought he'd have to kill another human being. "The bewilderbeast swam away afterwards." He exhaled "I can't believe he was alive all this time, how did he find out about Aurora and the hatchlings?-" Hiccup yelped as Toothless unexpectedly whacked him with one wing because really... what did any of that matter now? Before he could even consider carrying the thought any further his front door came open. "Astrid..."

"Yes, Hiccup?" She wasn't the only one though, in her wake was the four other vikings of their age group. "Don't you want to introduce us?"

Snotlouce was the first one to make it the the table, propping his hands against the table and smiling at Castiel "hey babe, how 'bout you and me go for a dip?" 

Hiccup rolled his eyes "it's snowing out."

"All the more reason for her to cuddle close to me cuz." It was at that point Astrid pulled Snotlouce back, effortless shoving him aside into Fishleg who had before now been watching the hatchlings intently. Snotlouce straightened with a huff: "watch it Fishlegs!" The twins took to fighting over some matter insignificant though who cared to notice. Them bumping heads (sometimes literally) was normal.

Astrid shook her head and applied some of the manners that Hiccup had doubtlessly rubbed off on her. "I apologize for him, he's an idiot. Those two really couldn't be any less alike." She said with a nod of her head towards Hiccup.

"Geeze, thanks for that." Hiccup intervened "look, this probably isn't the best time for this... Castiel just woke up and I think she could really just use some peace and quiet." And she mentioned that she was no longer all the use to being around other people, this wasn't the best group to reintroduce her.
