Hiccup wanted to give a gift to Astrid, but couldn't think of something suitable. Sensing his partners trouble, Toothless sat next to him and gave a head-but that asked for a scratch on the chin.
Laughing a little at his antics, Hiccup started to give a light scratch. As he was scratching, he found a loose scale and wiggled it out.
"There you go, bud. Is that better?"
Toothless gave an appreciating grunt and sat down next to his rider.
Leaning back onto his dragon, Hiccup fiddled with the scale, getting an idea. He thought about it for a few minutes before he hopped up and walked towards the forge.
Hiccup worked in the forge for a few hours before walking out, satisfied. He headed over to Stormfly's shelter. Digging through the dirt for a moment, he found a good scale and washed it off.
Looking around, Astrid was nowhere in sight, so Hiccup pulled a strap of leather out of his pocket to reveal a necklace. He quickly inserted the scale into the right place, finishing the silverwork.
Hiccup wandered around, necklace secure in his pocket. After asking around a little, he found Astrid on a cliffside that overlooked the ocean.
"How's it going?" He asked, sitting down next to her.
"Good. And where have you been?" Astrid asked wryly. "I have been looking for you all day."
"I have been working on something in the forge. I think you might like it." Hiccup replied, pulling the necklace out of his pocket.
"Close your eyes," he ordered her, and she complied. He slipped the necklace over her head, pulling her braid out of the way. "You can open them now."
She opened her eyes, pulling the charm up so she could see it. What she saw made her gasp. It was beautiful!
I was like an eye, with a small scale from Toothless as the pupil and a bright blue scale, Stormfly's, as the iris. Positioned to look like a glint of light was a small piece of silver, shaped as a dragon.
"Like it?" Hiccup asked. Astrid just laughed at that. "Of course, It is beautiful!
