“It’ll work.” Even though she couldn’t speak like this and he hadn’t asked about her doubts- Hiccup already seemed to know what she was thinking. Though it had been a long time since people treated him like some kind of… hiccup- that could only make mistakes, he occasionally fell back on the habit of trying to defend his own capabilities. “We’ll just say you came from some far away land. We don’t get out that much… there’s no reason for them to dispute it.” Even as he was saying this he was thinking about how they were Vikings and might cause issues just to stir up some excitement. So why was he suggesting this?

“Look, they were against the idea of getting along with dragons and look how far we come. I’m sure they will warm up to this as well. If all dragons can do this I want them to be able to accept it…” Toothless grumbled before showing off his gummy smile. He’d gone off when they were talking and had just returned, material clumped at his feet. Hiccup glanced at it before picking up the plain brown tunic. “Won’t do much to keep her warm.” Toothless wrapped his tail around Hiccup and pushed his forehead against him. Hiccup shoved him away. “I don’t like what you're suggesting bud.”

Toothless slunk away to rub against Aurora instead and Hiccup groaned in response. “Go ahead and change Aurora, we can get you warmer furs once we get back to the village.”
