Hiccup watched the girl depart before rubbing his hand down his face- he thought her beautiful and strong but sometimes… Toothless bumped his nose into his side, drawing his attention and he scratched at the nightfury‘s scales with his previous thoughts derailed. “Come on.” Toothless had hoped the dragoness had enough sense to return to her proper form but he was wrong. She was standing there peeking from beyond the doorframe when Hiccup turned in that direction. For a moment Toothless thought he might lose consciousness again but his mind seemed to be making the connection a lot slower this time. It wasn’t often he even saw humans other than his own tribe so no doubt he would be trying to figure out where she came from if nothing else. 

His time with this human had taught him that Hiccup got along with dragons swimmingly but had much more trouble connecting with his own kind. The stretch of silence between them was awkward and when he managed to speak he didn’t seem to know what to say. “Oh, hey? Where did you… come from…?” He doubtlessly thought the question sounded stupid and rightfully so. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you around here before…”

Toothless snorted because he had seen her plenty. Just not like this.
