Time for a new short!
This one isn't here to tear your heart out this time.

"Mama!"
"Shh, you'll wake her."
Nuffink sniffled, wiping his nose messily on his sleeve before reaching out to Zephyr, demanding affection more than usual since he was sick. She rolled her eyes but hopped up next to him, pulling his little blanket over him and pushing the dragon toy into his hands. Ever since they met Toothless, Nuff had been a big fan of the dragon toys even though he hadn't liked them much before.
"Go sleep."
Mama was sleeping too, sitting kinda funny in her chair but whenever daddy fell asleep like that, mama always said to leave him be because he needed the rest. Mamas needed rest too, Zephyr decided, even when little brothers were sick. So she'd have to take care of Nuff. She could do it. She was a big sister! Nuffink continued to sniffle, but he cuddled the toy and the fuzzy blanket.
"Tell me story?"
"Only if you promise to be quiet."
"I will."
"Ok then. How about the big dragon one?"
Astrid stirred, neck stiff from the awkward position she'd dozed off in. Realising quickly she'd fallen asleep while watching the kids, she sat bolt upright, already wondering what kind of havoc they had gotten in to unsupervised.
Instead, she heard Zephyr talking softly, voice sleepy and yawning as she recited one of the stories Hiccup would tell them. Oh, she missed words here and there, or mixed up the order, but gods she was adorable for trying. Astrid rubbed her neck, turning to where son and daughter were curled up together. Movement surprised Zephyr, who turned toward her.
"Shh mama. Nuff is sleeping!"

Idk, have some big sister Zephyr vibes?
