Hiccup stepped carefully upon the ice and made decent progress- not slipping. At least until a certain overjoyed dragoness rushed over to him with a lick that caused him to pull back and his metal foot to shoot out from under him, flipping him onto his back. Snow scattering around him as he sat momentarily dazed before swiping the slobber off himself. His dragon stop by and laughed unaware Hiccup was preparing a snowball until it collided with his face. That silenced Toothless with a stunned snort.

“That’s what you get bud.” Hiccup stood up in time to get hit by the wave of snow Toothless swatted at the two of them with his tailfin before snickering at the pair. “Har har. Real mature.” Hiccup brushed the power off himself as Toothless straightened and grumbled in an impression of him. Stopping the moment Hiccup looked his way, “ah. Don’t think I didn’t see what you did there mister.” He shook a finger at the dragon.

Toothless feigned innocence and after a few moments Hiccup set to rolling snow into a ball instead. “I’m keeping an eye on you.” Of course the moment he turned to gather more snow for the mound he was making Toothless leapt on top of the pile. “Toothless! You big lug! Get off of there now!” Toothless wiggled and lowered into a crouch, only springing away when Hiccup threw a snowball at him and began running around, flinging snow everywhere.
