Toothless swam through the cold waters. Using the weeds and what ever he could find to clean his body. He swam to the shore, gasping for air, he walked out and he faced a problem. "ah... how am i gonna get dry in 10 min and get over there?" He thought for a second. "maybe if i run it will come off... No No No i will start to sweat and smell again." He got up and looked to the patch of dragon nip "i could rile around in that for a few seconds. Not to mention i will smell irresistible to Stormfly". He ran and jumped into the pile of dragon nip. Rolling around and skidding his body across the weed. "great" he grabbed a clove of dragon nip and rubbed it on his cheek. "bet you she will live that when she try's to kiss me again"
He looked at the sky and laughed " i still have 7 minuets to get to her place" He walked out of the cove and trotted to the main village. He stopped outside Stormfly's house. He looked at the sky again. "dead on time" He knocked on the door with his claw and waited. to his surprise Astrid opened the door and grinned at toothless.
"Oh hey buddy what are you doing here?" She smiled at him.
Toothless looked at her tried to communicate but it was to no use. She just looked at him. "Hiccup isn't here boy perhaps you should look in the great hall." Then suddenly Stormily appeared. She dragged Astrid to one side and pointed to different symbols on a chart. Then Astrid grinned and hugged Stormfly.
"Come on in" Said Stormfly.
"what was that all about?" Asked Toothless.
"oh... me and Astrid have worked out a way of communicating using that chart" She smiled proudly.
"oh cool" smiled Toothless "what are we going to eat. Im so hungry i could eat a horse"
She laughed and smiled."we are having Atlantic cod" "it should be ready soon" She started sniffing the air.
"great" "what do you wanna do until then" He asked. Knowing she could smell the fresh dragon nip.
"do you wanna see my room?" She asked.
"you have your own room?" Toothless was impressed.
"yeh lets go" She walked up the stairs Toothless following her.
When they got to the room Toothless was greeted by the smell of Stormily but much stronger. There was a patch of piled up soft things for a bed in the corner. A small window with scratch marks around it.
"not bad" said Toothless "its cozy"
"sorry about the mess" she said pointing at all the bits of saddle and scales.
"wow what happened" He asked looking at her.
"ah. my saddle got stuck to my skin and it tore all of the exposed scales on the back of my neck" She said looking at him.
"Jeez that looks like it hurts still" He said peeking round at her neck.
"yeh it stings like hell" She said rubbing it with her left wing.
"i could sooth it for a bit if you want" He asked looking for a way to comfort her.
She smiled and looked at him. "thanks i need that"
Toothless walked around her and rested on the floor. She rested in front of him. Laying on his front legs.
"thanks toothless" she said. Waiting for toothless to begin. Toothless lent his head forward. He slowley licked her on the back of her neck with his soft long tongue. As he was half way through his first lick suddenly a voice called up the stairs.
"Stormfly. Toothless. Breakfast is ready" Astrid shouted up the stairs.
There was an awkward moment as Stormfly got up and so did toothless. They both remained silent as they walked down the steps to get some food...
