"Hiccup, I hate to say this about any dragon, but she is waaay too dangerous to be around us!"
"Are you serious Fishface? We need this dragon on our side! Just look at her! You said yourself, she DESTROYED those Changewings! I'll admit this only one, but I know I'm not the sharpest axe in the forge but even I see how useful she would be with us!"
"Wow, Snotlout, I never thought I would hear those words! It must be an off day for you. And speaking of odd days, I agree with him. Hiccup, if Viggo got his hands on Shadowtalon and somehow managed to get her to do his bidding then we could wiped out!"
"Why does she get a say! She is clearly biased!"
"Ruffnut, I thought you liked Shadowtalon?"
"Well, duh. Have you seen her? She amazing, we should definitely keep her. Imagine how many explosions she could cause!"
"Exactly my point! She...she….she killed those changewings for just protecting their eggs! We even saw her going for the eggs themselves! How we can trust her around our own dragons if she is capable of that?"
"Fishlegs! She is hurting!"
"Wait...really? How would you know?! Unless you speak dragon...do you?!"
"Did you not see her reaction the time she saw the moon!? She was scared! And you two both took her so she could hunt, which meant she was starving! She is homesick and hungry and she is just learning our language and you are faulting her for getting angry, especially when you said that the changewings attacked her first?! Are you going to send her away like this!? Right now when she is just on the edge of survival?!"
"Astrid that's not what we are saying. But the way she tore that Changewing apart like it was nothing. You didn't see her eyes Astrid, she had no remorse, not even a hint of guilt for killing a mother trying to protect her young! Snotlout, what about that time she pinned Hookfang? If she wanted she could have killed him right there and we didn't have a clue!"
"But that's just it Hiccup! She didn't! She hasn't hurt any of us! Why are you not giving her a chance?"
" I given her a chance Astrid! I have forgiven every aggressive act towards us! I have forgiven the time she pinned Hookfang, I have forgiven her when she ate the twins boars, I have forgiven her outbursts of rage, but I WILL NOT forgive this! If she can kill those innocent dragon, then she can kill us too! And I will not but us all in danger because you want to save a dragon that doesn't want to be saved! Not matter how interesting she may be!"
"...If that's the way you feel then fine. But I am not going to give up. You weren't there when she let me sleep next to her that night, for a moment I got through to her. If you pulled this off back when we were still on berk KILLING dragons, then we wouldn't be here at all"
"Astrid…...Astrid don't leave, don- *sigh*"
"Well that was intense"
"Hiccup I understand. Where comes from and the other dragons she lives with are an amazing discovery. But Shadowtalon is dangerous. You saw for yourself that she can fight, so I think if Viggo even comes near her, she will blast them all to smithereens. She can fend for herself. She can fight. But we can't. Not against her. With her seemingly unlimited shots, massive size, strength, AND intelligence? If she was friendly then maybe it wouldn't be so bad but…"
"Don't listen to fishface Hiccup! Viggo has those arrows remember? And if she did have somewhere to go then she probably would have left by now! I mean, think about it! Even I can see that!"
"Just let me think for a while okay? I don't want to make any rash decisions. Not about something this big"
"Ever see the scars on her sides? Of course being a warrior myself I noticed this, but those were old and from a dragon around her side, so I'm thinking that she has been in lots of fights in her homeland. And maybe that's how it is where she is from. Kinda like us vikings before ya know, harmony and all that jazz. Kill or be killed. Wars. So can you blame her for attacking for her when that's probably all she has known?"
"Who are you and what have you done with snotlout?"
"Ha ha, but I'm serious for once Hiccup! And Fishface, what if someone tried to hurt meatlug? You would fight back right? I know I would for Hookfang"
"Well, yes…..Looking closer at the scars on her sides, they do appear to be from other large dragons. But thats still no excuse for attacking the eggs!"
"Uh hello? Delicious breakfast ready for tomorrow!?"
"Guys knock it off. If we do choose to send her away, IF we do, there is also the problem that we may not be able to lure or fight her off, considering her intelligence and strenght. So, just let me think, okay?"
"Fine. But you better make the choice on this or I will hide rotten fish in you hut for a month!"
