"Astrid, we have to think this through carefully."Astrid eyes him, incredulous.
"Hiccup, we just discovered the dragons' nest...the thing we've been after since Vikings first sailed here. And you want to keep it a secret? To protect your pet dragon? Are you serious? "
Hiccup stands firm, resolute.
"Yes."Astrid's taken aback.
"Okay. (BEAT) Then what do we do?"
"Just give me until tomorrow. I'll figure something out."
"Okay."
Astrid PUNCHES Hiccup in the arm.
"That's for kidnapping me."
Hiccup looks to Toothless for support. Toothless SNORTS, dismissive.
Astrid grabs him. He braces for another hit. She KISSES Hiccup on the cheek.
" That's for, everything else."
In the awkward wake of the moment, Astrid hurries off... leaving Hiccup RUBBING his cheek, stunned.
Toothless hobbles up, eyeing him.
"What are you looking at?"
Just Like That A Bright Covered Hiccup and any living thing (certain mother and her dragon *wink *wink) in Berk to a mysterious room.
