(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I shook my head no and yawned a little, snapping my jaws back together with an audible clicking sound.
(Basetail's P.O.V.)
I smiled a half-smile, "Good. Lift up your shirt so I can see your stitches.". She did what I asked.
"All right. It looks really good, no infection at all. It's safe enough for me to take them out.". as I brought my first aid bag closer to the bed. "Here's a muffler for your mouth, because when I take them out, it might hurt some, and I don't want any distractions as I need to focus. Understand, Airi?". I asked calmly.
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I nod again, taking the muffler and biting down on it, tossing my head a little with quiet, playful growl, chomping on it.
(Basetail's P.O.V.)
I cleared my throat, "Did I say no distractions?". as I glared lightly at Airi.
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I quiet down, ducking my head submissively. After a moment, I realize that I'm acting more like a dragon; but on second thought, I typically acted like this on the streets. 'Hm . . . perhaps reintroduction to humans made me act more humanish . . .' I think to myself.
(Basetail's P.O.V.)
I chuckle lightly, "All right, kiddo. It's time to take the stitches out, and you must be quiet while I do this.". Airi held still as I slowly and steadily used my energy to get the stitches out carefully one by one, and before I know it, a half hour passed; and the stitches got completely out.
"Okay, Airi. The work's done. The stitches has closed the wound well, but I'm afraid it will remain a scar for the rest of your life. Some warriors has more scars than others like you. Fighting for our clan is an occasion to experience, but having scars is ... ah, a well-honored mark for warriors to have. Now, how are you feeling?". I replied casually, then wistfully.
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I focused my mind elsewhere while the stitches were being removed, the hurt lessened because of how I chose to focus my thoughts. It's a thing I did when cleaning up my own wounds on the streets; and let me tell you, removing shards of glass from your own leg is not a fun process.
I take out the muffler and reply, "I feel okay, thanks." I recall how, in the dream, my belly had hurt a little when I first stood, but it hadn't bothered me from that point on.
(Basetail's P.O.V.)
"All right, Airi. I suppose you want dinner. It's about time for it. Sunrise will be there, then after dinner, she will take you to the tv room. By the way, it's similar to a theater room, if you will. So, shall we?". I asked curiously.
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I nod and stand slowly, feeling a slight pinch about the spot, but nothing too uncomfortable. I pause and look to the bed, then pick up my mp3 and stick it in my pants pocket with a shrug. "Where's my coat at?" I ask as we head out the door.
(Basetail's P.O.V.)
"Well, since you used it back at the battle, and it was bloody, Sunrise took it to some clanmates who knew how to take blood off cloth since it's very hard to replace clothes when anything was bloody like your coat. You will have it back tomorrow. You don't need it down here since we have heaters for the winter and air conditioners for the summer.". I replied nonchalantly.
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I nod in return, subconsciously rubbing my forearms. I always had it on, even in summer, when it got hot. It was a layer of protection in any fight, because it was slightly baggy. Enough for my size to be misjudged, but not enough for the fabric to catch on stray objects as I ran.
(Basetail's P.O.V.)
I smiled, and we walked on to the cafeteria, where sure enough, was Sunrise sitting at her table with her plate, and another plate I assumed is Airi's.
"Looks like Sunrise got your plate already. Go ahead. I'm going to get my plate.". I replied softly and left as Airi headed to Sunrise's table.
(Sunrise's P.O.V.)
I looked up from my plate to see Airi coming up. I smiled. The patrols were alright, nothing strange at all. The South Siders must have been laying low since the battle. 'Good thing, too, since a storm is approaching this weekend'.
"Hey, Clawheart. I got your chocolate milk for ya. You're having pizza slices, pepperoni and sausage, and garlic bread with marinara sauce". I replied happily as Airi sat down and I pushed her plate toward her. For me, I'm having chicken legs with corn, and white milk. Then I saw Basil approaching with his plate and sitting down across from us girls. I started eating again.
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I started to dig into the food, talking quietly of how I went there again, and for several days by the time Basil came to wake me up to get the stitches removed. I didn't speak of all of it, but little bits and pieces, like Valka, Cloudjumper, and Toothless. You know, small things that could be recognized as something different than it already was.
(Sunrise's P.O.V.)
I listened attentively as well as Basil too, and when Airi finished speaking of her experiences, I had a theory.
"Airi, I have a theory, and it makes sense. Look, you were there for a week, while a hour here. Perhaps 8 hours would be 8 weeks. And I plan to have you strengthen your legs and get back to training for the next two days, so if you sleep tonight plus two more, you would easily have 24 hours which would be 24 weeks or 3 months basically over there. So, it's plausible.". I explained easily as possible I could.
Basil nodded, "That totally makes a point. Sunrise always has theories for everything, and they make sense, especially this one. What do you think, Airi?".
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I shrug. "But what about the other times?" I list it on my fingers. "The first time I went, it was hardly twenty minutes there, half fighting, some running, then falling off a cliff. Then, I wake up here, I'm doing stuff all day, and when I go to sleep again, I'm still falling. I'm there for a couple of hours, and then I wake up here." I pause a moment, gathering my thoughts.
"There's the battle with South Sider, and I was asleep for two days, according to both the people here and dragons there. Then, there was just now; I was there for a week but asleep here for an hour. . . . how does all of that add up?" I ask. It's rather confusing.
(Sunrise's P.O.V.)
"Perhaps you were trying out these first times to get used to your dragon body and understanding of the dragon cultures. And the fact you're here must have started these dream/visions. Before you came here, it was only dreams of different things or dreamless nights you had in the city. That's what I figure, Airi.". I replied wisely.
Basil replied casually, "Yeah, it sounds about right. You being here must have upstarted everything with Toothless and everybody else over there in your dreams.".
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
"Uh . . . upstarted?" I ask, confused. "What do you mean?"
(Sunrise's P.O.V.)
I sighed, "Well, upstarted means began, and you began a ways before the very first movie. It's simple, like dominoes. One falls, another begins, and so on. You introduced Valka to Lavender and the others including yourself, for her to understand how dragons are like and everything, and that began the mission for her to protect the dragons more than a way. Do you understand, Airi?".
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I hesitate, but nod. It does make sense; but it makes me think. What if things play out like they had in the second movie? I mean, the first movie turned out okay, in the end, but in the second movie . . . Stoick and the good dragon King were killed . . . .
(Sunrise's P.O.V.)
I nod and smile, finishing up my plate, noticing Airi is almost done with her plate. I saw that Basil is done.
"Hey Sunrise, do you want me to get the projector rolling in the tv room?". He asked chirply.
I nod, "Yes, Basil. Thank you, and make sure the first movie is in and ready by the time I and Airi get there.". Basil smiled and said okay, then he left in the direction of the meeting hall. Behind a secret wall, rests the theater tv room, complete with different levels of chairs and bean bags.
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I decide to stop worrying about it for now, and finish up my food.
(Sunrise's P.O.V.)
I noticed Airi finishing up her plate, and I grinned, getting up, carrying my finished plate to the dirty dishes spot once again, then came back to see Airi drinking up her chocolate milk.
"Airi, please get your plate over to the dishes drop off area, and let us go ahead to the tv room. The projector should be ready and I promised for you to choose your seat as you're the first to do tonight since the movies are your favorites.". I asked politely.
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I nodded and put my dishes up before following Sunrise to the tv room.
(Sunrise's P.O.V.)
When we got to the tv room, I opened the secret wall by pulling a lever virtually invisible to outsiders but known by every clanmate, and it opened up to reveal electric lanterns lighting up the room, and a empty wall lighting up with the full view of the projector video, showing the 'How to Train your Dragon' menu.
There are 6 floors by 3 inches each, having a six-seat dark red sectional on the first floor, 6 dark green recliners on the second floor, 3 black futons on the third floor, 2 three-seat dark purple couches on the fourth floor, 6 dark blue accent chairs on the fifth floor, and finally 6 dorm bean bag chairs in dark brown. The walls are grey, and the wall with the projector is fairly hidden with a dark amber curtain, parted some to let through the projector light. The stairs along the floors lead up to a hidden door into the projector room that stores everybody's dvd/blu-rays in dust-free cabinets.
There is a multiple bathroom on the left side across from the projector room, used for breaks before the first movie, or between the end of the first movie and the putting in the second movie.
"Go ahead, choose your seat, then I will alert anybody else who wants to watch to hurry in.". I replied excitedly.
