"Normal Speak"

-Dragon Speak-

'Toothless&Hiccup Telepathy' [This telepathy has no limit distance-wise, but only Hiccup and Toothless can hear it.]

*All Dragon Telepathy* [This version of telepathy is not long distance, but can still be used if individuals are close enough even when they are not within each other's vision. Has around a 100-meter distance.]

Chapter 2 - Telepatia

Toothless was relaxing hanging upside down from a large tree when he suddenly was blasted by an overwhelming feeling of fear that wasn't his own. It was so startling that it dazed him for a few moments because he wasn't able to process the reason for the feelings. His brain didn't connect the dots instantly because bonds were never this strong so soon after the initial binding. If it was already at this level he could hardly imagine what the bond would be like once it had stabilized. He moved towards the location radiating fear as he ran through the trees. He stretched his paws out catching the small hatchling as it tripped before he wrapped his crying other half in his wings. Toothless made cooing noises in an attempt to comfort the smaller creature, because he was clearly in distress and need to calm down. The sniffling died down after a while as the hatchling stayed within the closed space of Toothless's wings. Toothless could tell the small thing was still awake but that it was trying to control the hurricane of emotions being amplified by their newly formed bond.

Hiccup wasn't sure what was happening but he knew being with the dragon was making him feel a lot better so he wasn't planning on moving from his warm and safe place anytime soon. It wasn't totally better but it was definitely more ideal than the chaos he'd been experiencing not so long ago. He let his head rest against the beast's chest, eyes closed as he concentrated on matching his breathing with the gentle lull of the dragon's chest. After, a while he finally had his emotions under control and a clear mind. He moved back a little bit so that he could look up at the dragon, "What is happening to me?"

The dragon only tilted its head in response and Hiccup sighed not knowing what he was expecting, "You don't understand me do you?"

(-Hiccup3Toothless-)

Toothless wasn't exactly sure what he was supposed to do in this situation. He watched the hatchling talk creating a long string of noises that he couldn't understand at all. The small thing sure talked a lot more then Toothless imagined it would. Clearly, it was trying to communicate with him, but until the bond strengthened there wasn't a whole lot that either of them could do about it. With how strong their bond already was he wasn't sure how long it would take or how strong their mental connection would even be. Hopefully, it would be strong enough that they would be able to communicate telepathically, but even for a mated dragon-pair telepathy was not always a gift they received with their bond. Toothless didn't know what to expect, he had never been told details about human-dragon bonds before. So, this would be a learning experience for both of them.

(-Hiccup3Toothless-)

It was on the third day of Hiccup being with the dragon when he suddenly thought that he had heard someone talk which caused him to look around. He was worried at first that it might be a Viking but then he realized clearly that no one was around them. He was looking at the dragon still confused when he heard another noise causing him to jump, 'What?'

"D..d..di..did you just speak?" Hiccup starred at the larger creature waiting to see if the noise would happen again, or if he was indeed just going crazy. The dragon looked at him, 'This is the telepathy created by our bond young hatchling so we can communicate in our heads without speaking.'

Hiccup nodded in understanding, 'What do you mean by bond?'

(-Hiccup3Toothless-)

Toothless wasn't exactly sure how he should respond to the question it had just asked him. Curiously he asked, 'Does your kind not have bonded-mates?'

'I'm not really sure what you mean by that? I've never heard of a bonded-mate before,' was the response he received in his head from the hatchling.

Toothless didn't know a whole lot about humans as a species but he had observed enough to know that they did live together in small groups sometimes, 'What does your kind call the sets of humans that live together and usually produce offspring?'

The hatchling seemed to understand what Toothless meant when he tried to find a connection in the hatchlings life to help with explaining what a bond-mate is, 'I think you mean marriage, but I don't know a whole lot about that subject. I'm only 9.'

Toothless only made a humming noise at first before he wrapped his tail around the small one pulling it closer to nuzzle against once again. He sent the word 'Mine' over and over again through the telepathic link. He wanted to make sure the hatchling knew that he cared since he now understood that the bond must be such a strange concept to it.

'What are you? I've never seen a dragon like you before. You're so different than all the other dragons I've seen from a distance,' the hatchling commented looking too Toothless, curiosity showing all over its face.

Toothless made a gurgling noise before he introduced himself, 'I believe your species refers to my kind as a Night Fury, but I myself am called Toothless.'

Toothless heard the hatchling say his name out loud a few times in its own language before the small one smiled up at him and reached out to hug him, 'My Toothless...' The hatchling looked to him a question clearly on its mind, 'Why do they call you Toothless? I saw your teeth.'

Toothless opened his mouth in response with his teeth already retracted, to see his bonded-mate's face light up. Then he closed his mouth before opening it to reveal his teeth again.

'I think your name is nice, my names Hiccup' the boy smiled up at Toothless.
