"Aw, what are you looking at?" Hiccup asked Toothless as stared at him while Astrid left the cove. Toothless crooned and walked away over to his sleeping spot.
"So what now?" He asked Toothless.
Toothless didn't answer as he went over to his normal sleeping spot.
"Bud… bud, Toothless," Hiccup called after him. The dragon stopped and turned around. "Can we go for one more short flight tonight? I need to clear my head." He looked all flustered.
Toothless crooned sympathetically and walked over to him, nudging his leg.
Hiccup smiled. "Thanks, bud," He said and mounted. Once Hiccup had secured his feet in the pedals and hooked his harness to Toothless's saddle, Toothless raised his wings up and lifted off into the night sky.
Hiccup was quiet as the pair flew up above the clouds. Toothless crooned and glanced back at Hiccup, concern written all over his scaly face. Hiccup returned a small smile and patted Toothless's head. "I'm fine, bud," Hiccup reassured his winged friend, but Toothless could clearly see he wasn't. Toothless gave Hiccup a look and Hiccup sighed. "Alright, I've just got a lot on my mind about tomorrow."
Toothless crooned and flapped his wings a few times to stay aloft.
"I mean… I could…" Hiccup trailed off and made a thinking face.
"Rup?" Toothless asked.
"We could leave this place Toothless, like I had originally planned," Hiccup told his dragon. "We can leave and never come back."
Toothless crooned and glanced back at him questioningly. Hiccup smiled softly. "You know what bud, we are gonna leave, but I want to ask Astrid if she'll join us." Hiccup knew he'd regret this
