[b]LOCATION: Snowy Forest - heading towards New Berk[/b][/center][hr]

As Hiccup wandered away, he began to think more on the child he had met - this was a pretty weird teenage phase to be going through - sure, at his teen years he had tamed a dragon and changed an entire village's mind at the expense of his left leg - but it was much more believable than slapping a tree with saliva and claiming that it would be healed in mere seconds. 

Despite this, Hiccup gave a smile when greeting the kid as he ran up. [color=fdc68a]"Yeah I uh.."[/color] He rubbed the back of his neck. [color=fdc68a][i]Did you hit your head, bud?[/i][/color] Those words seemed so awfully passive aggressive. It was disgusting - but he meant nothing bad by it, he was truly concerned about the child - until Toothless promptly nudged him towards a direction he wanted him to go in. [color=fdc68a]"I'm sorry - I didn't mean that to be, er.. Rude. Especially not in that way - I was worried you hit your head and had a bad accident that rendered you - well.. hurt."[/color] As a new father - with his eldest child being a mere five years old, he was simultaneously great and awful at parenting. Though, despite this, you could tell when his parental fears came into play - such as him explaining himself to the child that was by his side.
