"What are you doing over there?"
Hiccup snapped from his thoughts, a blush painting his cheeks as he saw Eret now looking right at him. He smiled shyly, shrugging. "Um...nothing, really, why?"
Eret smiled, a brow quirked. "Nothing? You seem pretty preoccupied by whatever it is you have there," the former trapper replied, cocking his head in the direction of Hiccup's sketchbook.
The brunet's blush darkened and he moved his sketchbook closer to him as if to protect it. It was one of the few joys he had since he had taken the role of chief. He didn't really see anything wrong with having a hobby, but for some reason it was embarrassing to admit that he spent his free time sketching. And not just sketching but... He shook his head. It wasn't worth thinking about, really...
Eret watched with curious eyes as Hiccup seemed to hold a protective stance over his sketchbook. He had seen Hiccup draw before. Things like dragons, maps of islands, or various things that could be found around the island. However those were only drawings that Eret caught when in public. But when Hiccup drew at the house, Eret noticed that Hiccup used a different leatherbound book and was much more attentive of what happened to it.
Since Eret was a guest in Hiccup's home until a house could be bult for him (after the other repairs, of course) Eret made sure to never overstep his bounderies. Still...he felt protective of the young chief. Even though Hiccup had Toothless and Valka and even Astrid, Eret worried about the brunet. He tried to not fret over the chief, though...So far he managed to keep his protective tendencies under wraps, watching Hiccup from a distance. It was becoming a little too much to admit that there was something about Hiccup that Eret didn't yet know about. After all, he'd gone out of his way to make sure he knew everything about Hiccup: what made him laugh, what made him upset, what made him proud or disappointed... He had to know what Hiccup sketched that was so important! He was tempted to simply rip the book from Hiccup's hands. Instead, he forced a small, nervous smile. "Come on. It can't be that bad,"
Hiccup gave a dry laugh, rubbing the back of his neck and tugging at his short braids. A small habbit he had for when he wanted to phrase something delicately. "It's stupid, really. You wouldn't be interested," At that, Hiccup stood from the table, picking up the book and his drawing materials before taking them back into his room in the back of the house. Clearly, he didn't want to discuss it.
Eret huffed. He had to find out!
