AN: Hello my friends! The hiatus of How To Let It Go is finally lifted. I apologize for slightly lacking precision two months ago, but I had meant to say that this story would be on Hiatus until the end of June. Anyway, How To Become a Dragon Chief's draft is finally complete, so now I can focus entirelly on this story. Since it's been awhile since I watched the movie, and read Frozen fics, I may be a little rusty, and therefore update rather sporadically.

Anyway, here is the review response (so many!):

Vanh N. Chrome: No need to be sad anymore, this story is oficially back in track. We couldn't leave poor Elsa and Hiccup like this could we? We need to see them become buddies and all :D

ravenx1988: No need to wait anymore. Here is the next chapter

The-real-dragon-rider: Hello, first of all I wanted to say that I'm very happy that you see this story with such good eyes. Also, the idea you presented to me is very interest, and I might, emphasis on might, use it if I find a fitting way to do it. As to my first language, no, it isn't German. Also, I believe I took care of the repeated paragraph (man these seem to haunt this story). Anway, do tell me if you find one. It's readers like you that help my story be as good as you all say. Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Noctus Fury: All of How To Let It Go is centered around the Hiccup-Elsa bonding. You may not hear from Berk for awhile, although I do know how to make some scenes with it without making this story seem like a copy of 'No Need For Titles' from A Single Cup (even though this one came way earlier). And, you can always give me your email so we can stay in touch, should you not be able to make a fanfiction account. I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Guest: Yeah, Windwalker's name did come to me from the book series, but the dragon, his physics and abilities, were exclusively based on my imagination and DreamWorks' work. My depression hasn't sadly gone away, and I don't know if it will anytime soon, but I do appreciate the feeling. Hope you'll enjoy the chapter.

Bigfan: well, it's okay. You did remember make a 'review' regarding your review, just to say your actual nickname. Thanks :)

SpicedGold: Ah, it always brightens my mood to read your reviews my friend. There are many more movie dialogues I'll work up, with Hiccup being thrown in the middle. It was, after all, one of the main reasons I started to write this story. And yes, writing Hiccup's view of the world is curious indeed, because it's so different from every other character. They will still be awkward, and it'll be chapters (months) before he even gets a handshake from her, but they'll work it out. Elsa sees a lot of herself-both good and bad- in him, or his situation, so she tends to be more at ease with him than with anyone else.

orca3553: Here it is the next chapter. I hope you like it!

8goose8: While I do appreciate that you have left a review showing that you do like this story and want to read more of it, I do wish that you had written something else than simply 'please update'. I do appreciate the review, but I had specifically said it was on hiatus for a certain amount of time. Had you written this review the day I published the last chapter, it wouldn't have changed that this chapter would be uploaded only two months after it.

Without further ado, How To Let It Go is oficially back:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Will you stay? I'd like to hear more of your tales…" she asked after a moment of awkward silence, sounding a bit hopeful. She had to restrain herself from being too hopeful in case he wouldn't; after all he came to the tower because they apparently had crashed. As far as she knew he could have explained his story just so she didn't snitch him to her father. Elsa admitted, to herself, that if she could hear more of his story, it would be very nice, since it made her forget of all those dreadful thoughts that tormented her during her solitary moments.

"I guess I can stay… We can fish later some food, and he'll probably want to fly later, but I don't think we have any need to leave," he answered a bit thoughtfully, "You sure nobody will find us here?" his voice showed a hint of worry, since what he most feared was being discovered. Not that he could be in danger, as it seemed he wouldn't be, but how they would react to Toothless. Chances were that they would act out of fear and drive them off.

Elsa just gave him a reassuring smile, which was all he needed. She wouldn't say, but she wasn't completely sure no one came to the tower during the day. She hoped not, otherwise not only she would have betrayed his trust on her if someone came, but also accidentally caused him to leave. Without a word, she slowly stood and waved a shy goodbye before leaving. Hiccup was aware enough to reply it before her figure left the tower.

After a minute he turned to his dragon. "At least we had a good start, didn't we bud?" he asked his dragon, who crooned in agreement. "I guess it would be better if we check on Windwalker, he must be very worried," he suggested. The tail didn't take more than a couple of minutes to fix; it had, much to Hiccup's luck, sustained no serious damage when they crashed. Once repaired, he hopped on Toothless and they soon flied off to find Windwalker, figuring the dragon would be deep in worry about them.

Once they found him in the woods, Hiccup sat to explain what happened. It would be of no use trying to talk with Windwalker considering how, oddly, his eyes seemed to show such worry. It was understandable though, and Hiccup was grateful that the white dragon didn't go to the tower during those hours he had been unconscious, or when he was talking to Elsa. One dragon had been certainly more than enough for the princess to take in.

"We ended up crashing. I was knocked out by about four hours. Besides that, I think neither of us has broken any bones, or serious injuries. I was a bit dizzy when I awoke but it has passed a long time ago," he answered when the dragon asked about their conditions.

'Well, that explains why you both look like nothing happened. But what took you so long?' he asked, suspicious rising when Hiccup got a little nervous. If he had been knocked out for four hours, something held him inside the tower. To Windwalker, even the time he would have spent fixing the tail wouldn't be this long. He was worried that they had been discovered by someone.

"Well…" he began, rubbing the back of his neck, "Turns out there was someone there. Of everyone that could find us it had been a Princess. From what I guessed, the ruler of this land, which is called a King, lives there, and she as heir and daughter is a Princess." Windwalker held his gaze, fearing what could have happened for them to take so long. They weren't captured, since Hiccup arrived at ease and spoke smoothly to him.

He didn't need to worry for long, as Hiccup said what happened. "I ended up telling her a bit of my story, mostly about Berk and my life there before meeting Toothless, and she agreed not to report us or anything. She also assured we could rest there, and to me it didn't seem she would betray us. She seemed to be afraid of us at first, but I think because I'm a Viking and he's a dragon. I learned that this village was a Viking settlement before, but because they didn't engage in any wars, they progressed and changed as time passed."

Windwalker felt happy to hear that this place rose from the bloodthirsty Vikings they had once been. It was already a pro to settle down awhile in here. The dragon also considered the fact that there were no torches out or cries of terror or anything of the sorts. That must mean the girl held her word. 'And what do you think? Think it's safe to be there?' Windwalker asked.

"Well, she did say the tower was deserted. I think it's because of this that she was there in the first place. She also seemed to want to hear more of my story, so I don't think she would suggest resting there if the possibility of being found existed," he said, amused that someone would want to hear his 'dramatic' life story.

"However she thinks I have only Toothless. So if you hear her coming, try hiding out, or flying off the tower. At least until she's ready to meet you. It looks like she goes there when its night, so you would have no problem hiding in the ceiling or flying off the tower to come here," he pointed out, thinking already how to manage it. If it was shocking already for the girl to find a dragon, and also that the creature is capable of expressing emotions he didn't even want to think what she would do if she met a dragon capable of talking and entering one's mind. He shivered, recalling his first encounter with Windwalker.

'Well, I'll follow your suggestions if you're sure of It.' he spoke, somewhat begrudgingly, 'Let's just hope were not found like back at the island' he recalled. Hiccup nodded in agreement and soon they both flew to the tower. Since the narrow window was enlarged a little by Toothless' crash, Windwalker managed to go through it without much difficult. Soon they were fast asleep, with Windwalker changing turns with Toothless on guarding the entrance.

Meanwhile Elsa couldn't stop to think about meeting the boy. So far that her disastrous lesson didn't even come up on her mind. He had many trails they both shared, and yet he was fun and a bit carefree, like Anna. He also seemed to be a bit disastrous like her own sister, which only increased her fondness for the boy, although his disasters were much bigger when speaking of destruction than Anna's. A couple of armor sets is nothing compared to half a harbor.

She lit a candle that was on her desk. The faint light was more than enough for her to try drawing both Hiccup and the dragon. The later turned out to be quite difficult since she couldn't see much of the dark creature. She couldn't see much of Hiccup either, as the moonlight was faint that night, though he didn't look like he was higher than Elsa. She settled on drawing one looking at another, just like she saw they do on various moments. It was a scene that struck a feeling inside her, seeing how close they seemed to be with one another, and how the dragon could comfort the lonely boy.

Satisfied with the sketch, she decided to detail it later, perhaps even after she meets them again so she could add more detail and precision to the drawing. Once she washed her face and her hands, she changed into her nightglow and went to her bed. Her smile never vanished from her face as she lay down in the soft mattress and covered herself with the silk blankets. Although the cold never bothered her, she mostly did it as habit, and also because she felt somehow protected. The moon's light illuminated softly her room; being so low in the sky reminded the princess that it would be another night of little sleep, before yet another day came.

But this time, it was the first time in many days that Elsa had a peaceful sleep, even if it was a short one. Being in Hiccup's company after the initial scare had definitely softened her worries, and eased her mind. A part of her subconsciously noticed how she barely had to focus on her powers, further helping her drift into an easy sleep. Hiccup was in a similar state, being able to sleep in the tower with little worry of being discovered. His own nature forbid him of thinking he would be betrayed, so he also had a peaceful sleep, much easier than the nights he had while on the Archipelago.

007

The next day was… unusual for the Queen. She knocked on Elsa's door to see if her daughter wanted to continue the lessons that were… abruptly ended the day, and was half-expecting that Elsa wouldn't open the door and tell her she wanted to be alone, or that Elsa wouldn't even answer, considering how upset her daughter have been of once again losing control.

The Queen herself had an uneasy sleep that night, and was afraid this would be one of the days Elsa would completely shut them out for the whole day. It would not be the first time, as Elsa did this every time her powers came out. The, somewhat, regular occurrence of this, was the reason of how she knew Elsa would shut out. However, it did nothing but add pain to the heart of the Queen. Still, she learned to never lose any hope, and always thought that if she showed that to Elsa, her daughter would recover quicker of the incident.

So it was only natural that she was surprised and shocked to hear Elsa answer "In a moment Mama" with a rather jovial tone, almost as if Elsa had found a miracle, when visiting that tower the night before, that had lifted some weight from her shoulders. She was even more shocked that her tone indicated she had a peaceful sleep, something Idun knew it was very rare of Elsa to achieve these days, much to her and Agdar's despond.

She was even more surprised when Elsa opened the door with a shy smile on her face. More so when, throughout the lessons, Elsa showed interest on those, a little more than the usual. The last surprise came when, at the end, she showed interest in memorizing the names of the royal family, especially the initial ones who still were in the Viking age, being also the funniest ones to do so. Her demeanor, although Elsa still kept her usual distance, seemed nothing alike of the frightened child the Queen saw yesterday before leaving the room.

The Queen, however, wouldn't complain. It had been a couple of years since she saw Elsa like how she was this day. She remembered the days where they would be talking, rhyming, and even the optimism that Elsa had about one day opening the doors. She remembered her surprise of first seeing Elsa come out of her room, or when she decided to surprise Anna in her sister's birthday by coming out and having a meal with her whole family…

…Until her powers had an outburst when she was 12. She closed off from Anna again, and even from her and her husband. Since then she never took granted whenever Elsa was in a good mood or smiling, given how rare these days were. Her husband's new pair of gloves seemed to regain some of the shattered confidence Elsa had ever since she lost hope of achieving all that Idun thought it would happen.

The last surprise came when the Queen was closing the royal lineage book. "Isn't a bit funny the names our first rulers had Mama?" Elsa commented somewhat amusedly. For a moment, the princess briefly remembered the last night, and the names that Hiccup spoke. Until that moment, she couldn't stop herself from being amused that someone would be called hiccup, given how a hiccup was always a hilarious thing to see.

The Queen was at a loss of words; since it was rare to Elsa actually engage a conversation, besides the usual lessons. She only snapped out of her shock when Elsa spoke to her. "Mama? Is everything all right?" she asked, a bit worried that she didn't give an answer before. Elsa noticed she was a bit less restrained today, attributing it to her easy sleep, but it still worried her that her mother was silent for so long.

She gave her daughter a reassuring smile. "Everything is all right dear. I was just thinking about your comment," she spoke fondly, covering up her shock. Seeing that Elsa had an expectant look, Idun remembered to answer her question. She would think later about this behavior, and see if it was a sign that things would be better. Perhaps Agdar could have something to add of why Elsa seemed much happier today, even though she had an outburst the day before.

"Indeed." She agreed after giving Elsa's comment a thought or two. "It's quite amusing the names they had. They used to be Vikings before settling, so maybe perhaps it was a costume to name their children with funny names. A few places up north in our kingdom still name their children with such odd names," she said chuckling a little. She agreed with Elsa's commented, but never stopped to think about before today.

"Do you know why they gave these funny names?" Elsa asked with some curiosity. True that Hiccup told her why, and she believed the boy after hearing a part of his story, but she wanted to see if the reason was lost in time or not. Given how her mother and father knew so much, she somewhat expected them to know it if the reason survived through time. And also Elsa hadn't had the time to look in the library at night.

"I…" she hesitated, trying to remember if she had ever known the reason. "Don't know. Maybe there is a book in our library regarding Viking costumes that says why. Would you mind telling me what sparked such curiosity?" she asked Elsa with some curiosity, but not because of the reason. It was of Elsa's sudden interest in the Viking age of Arendelle. Her daughter always seemed so bored by it, no doubt a trail she inherited from her mother, so it was odd to see Elsa suddenly sparkle in interest about this subject.

Elsa's froze, not expecting the question. She didn't want to tell the truth, at least not yet. She didn't fully trust him, but she had promised the boy he could be there. Not only that, but she was afraid that her parents, out of fear, would drive him away, a thing she didn't want, even though Elsa didn't fully know this. Because of this she began thinking of an excuse, although feeling guilty for trying to lie to her mother.

She didn't come with a good one due to time restrain. She didn't want her mother thinking she asked something wrong, or anything of the sorts. "I was just curious I guess," she said, trying not to sound nervous. If she had sounded like it, and her mother noticed, the women did not show it. She would tell her mother about him, since she was the one more open minded of her parents, but not at this moment.

The Queen noticed the subtle change in her behavior, but said nothing. One thing that she and Agdar learned those years was not to press Elsa. If her daughter wanted to say anything, they would wait until she was ready to do so. Still, Idun couldn't stop herself from feeling pained seeing yet another secret hidden in these walls. It was a similar pain she felt when she lied to Anna.

Idun gave another reassuring smile, which relieved Elsa a bit. Years of having only two visitors had allowed her to master the ability to read every nuance her mother's and father's face would show. So, when she was looking at her mother's face, she saw the subtle changed indicating the Queen was not entirely convinced of her answer, and felt relieved that she wouldn't press on the matter.

And she didn't want her mother to believe in her. For some reason, she didn't want her parents to believe in any lies she would say. Her life was full of those. And because of that, she was relieved by the fact that her mother didn't press on, that she would give her time and space so Elsa would only talk when she felt ready to do so. That struck a chord of guilt inside Elsa. Her parents had been incredibly supporting and understanding. They never pushed her and never lied. Unfortunately Anna couldn't say the same, although it was for the best, as she and her parents always thought.

However, the chord wasn't struck only because of this. It was slightly because she remembered the young Viking's story he told her. How he never had the support of his parents. No… he said of his father, but what about his mother? This was a question she left unasked and thus unanswered. She feared he didn't speak because he had lost her mother. Given the dragons he spoke about, she wouldn't be surprised if his tribe had casualties when fighting those creatures.

Now that Elsa really stopped to think, the boy never spoke of his mother. A million questions ran through her head, and little did Elsa know that the only situation she didn't think was the truth. Her curiosity was begging to ask the question, but her common sense was telling her it was better not to.

Elsa got so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice her mother smiling at her thoughtful expression, her mother bidding her a 'see you later' or the door closing. She didn't notice Idun observe her, nor the conflicted emotions her mother felt during the whole silence. She only came out of her thoughts once the door closed, and she sighed a bit sadly, feeling guilty of forgetting momentarily about her mother's presence.

007

007

Idun was puzzled at how lost in thoughts Elsa was. It was rare to see her daughter lost in those for so long. She reasoned that maybe it had to do with her power outburst, since it had been awhile she had one. But that didn't explain the unusual behavior she had during their time together today. A longing side of her even hoped that Elsa would touch her, like she used to when they got closer 5 years ago.

Nevertheless, Idun was as happy as when Elsa showed her drawings. Thankfully, it was one of the few things Elsa didn't stop doing after the outburst. The Queen would sometimes ask to keep some of those and later show Anna, who would both have a happy and a longing look each time she saw those drawings. Sometimes the young princess would stay by Elsa's door and speak about anything, just like she did years ago. Although, Idun notice the frequency to which she did that decreased. She feared the day anyone in her family would lose hope, and that the hopelessness would extend to the rest of the family like a sickness.

There was no denial to Idun that that pencil set Anna gave to Elsa on her birthday was probably the best gift everyone had given her in these 7 years, probably besides the musical box. From what she and Agdar had seen, the little box was one of the few things that could sooth Elsa. There was also the fact that Anna longed for the proximity she shared with Elsa those months after Marie's departure, although her maturity made her partially conceal the feeling.

She decided to speak with Agdar about this. A part of her, although with righteous fear, hoped that this was a signal that she would open up again. It didn't matter to her if it would be slow and gradual the process, or even slower than Elsa's first try, only that it would happen. She thought his opinion would shed some light in whenever Elsa was again slowly opening up, or if today had been an exception to the sad routine they have.

It was a good thing that the days were short during winter. This meant Agdar had less work than the usual to worry about, which meant she could have a more profound conversation with him. It also meant most of the day she would spend with Elsa, before retreating to her room, or to the library. It gave her the illusion of proximity, but after years of secrets and isolation, it was good to be alluded once in awhile. It made her forget how broken her family was…

Unfortunately Anna disagreed with this. Short days meant she couldn't be pacing around for so long, and that she spent little time with her parents. Or speaking to Elsa in the past… on the other hand, it was a solid excuse to share a cup of hot chocolate with Gerda and talk to her, or two cups… or three… maybe more if Gerda didn't stop Anna, even though the servant would never be able to be mad with Anna.

Idun didn't even bother to check out if Elsa went or not to the tower that night. Her daughter's demeanor showed unlikely for her to visit the tower, even though Idun had a nagging feeling that the place was associated with Elsa's sudden change. Once she was in her nightdress and saw her husband in the bed, she immediately began a conversation.

"Elsa was rather odd today…" she commented, watching her husband's reaction.

Agdar was confused about the statement, if not lost. Not bewildered, or shocked, just plainly confused as if he had it written all over his face. He quickly put the book he was reading on his bed table to give his wife full attention. He raised a questioning eyebrow at his wife. "How so?" was the only question he made.

Idun sighed. This would be one of those nights they have a fairly long conversation. "I went to her room today to see if she wanted to finish her lessons. After all we didn't finish it yesterday…" She briefly recalled yesterday's events, but didn't give much attention to it. Idun didn't need to explain more what she meant, for those words and the look on her face said everything. "But then she answered. In a jovial tone nonetheless!" She spoke, showing that she was still confused about it.

Agdar didn't understand what the big deal about that was. Sure it was odd considering what happened the day before, but he didn't see this as alarming, and couldn't put himself in his wife's position to see the issue. "Well, maybe she had a good night. We both know she doesn't get many of those these days. I'm sorry but I don't see what's wrong in Elsa's behavior…" he reasoned.

"But that's not all" she interrupted him. "She opened the door smiling. It was weeks since she gave me a genuine smile. And," she paused to breath, "During all of our lessons she was unusually interested in it, especially at the end where we were memorizing the royal lineage." She paused to take a breath before continuing, "It was like a fire lighted inside her or something like that." She tried to explain.

Now this surprised Agdar. He perfectly recalled his wife telling how Elsa drifted to sleep out of boredom the day before. He had been amused at how Elsa inherited this trail from her mother, just like she inherited the taste for chocolate from his wife. He furred his eyebrows in thought "Well, I must agree with you. It is indeed rather odd," he conceded.

"And that's not all…" she exclaimed, as if holding out a grand finale. "She actually talked to me after we finished that lesson."

If the King had his wife's hair, his eyebrows would have hidden behind it as they impossibly shot up. "And what did she say?" he asked, in utter curiosity. Since her accident 3 years ago, it was rare of Elsa to engage in a conversation, no matter how short, and even less to begin one.

"She commented to me, rather amused, that our first rulers had funny names. And even asked me if I knew why," the Queen said, laughing a little at how impossible the situation seemed to be. Idun couldn't deny how happy she felt, despite also being wary, of Elsa's change. She felt so… normal teaching her daughter, as if the isolation had never existed, nor the loopholes in their relationship.

He scratched his chin in thoughts. He was very surprised at the oddness of the whole situation and couldn't deny it anymore. He had thought Idun was exaggerating but this fact just proved him wrong. He decided to first see if there was any more oddness that the Queen would like to share. "And did anything else odd happen?"

The Queen furred her eyebrows together, as if trying to remember anything more. It wasn't until a second later that her face changed to one of realization. "Yes… I asked her why the sudden interest and her behavior suddenly changed. She did answer me, but I saw her hesitate, as if afraid of telling the real reason. Then… she just got lost in thoughts. Thinking of what I really don't know," she said, as if a bit bewildered at the action.

"She didn't acknowledge when I spoke to her, or even when I opened the door. It was like she was lost in her own mind." Idun stopped, considering something. "Do you think she's hiding something from us dear?" she asked with a neutral tone, although her face betrayed her. It was plain to see that she didn't want this to be true.

Since he was more familiar with concealing emotions, he could read better Elsa; however he had not in the room today. Unfortunately, he came to a conclusion not so comforting. "I'm afraid she is. Although I believe she has her reasons," he spoke, trying to reassure her wife when she had a crestfallen expression.

"Maybe she's afraid of losing it, or of our reaction. Something must have happened on that tower to change her demeanor, and she must feel insecure about letting us know. Just like she hid from us that she was practicing her powers, because she was afraid of how we would react. No matter how much we reassure her. It doesn't seem to be anything worrying. She'll tell us when she feels ready, just like the times she went out of her room," he reassured his wife. He didn't know what happened in that tower, but he just hoped it wouldn't cause, in the end, more pain, as her hidden power training accidentally did.

He gave his wife a hug when a lone tear ran through her cheek. He noticed she was working hard not to sob as she let out some occasional sniffs. "I know it's hard to know our daughter is hiding something from us. But I am sure she'll tell us when she is ready. In the mean time, let's just be happy that she is happy because of It," he spoke soothingly while holding her. It pained him to see her so sad, but, used to a life of concealing emotions, he didn't show it.

Idun didn't speak anything. They never hid anything from Elsa, and now her first-born was hiding something from them. She realized with a pang of guilt that this is how Anna must feel every moment she is essentially told that she can't know why of some things, her sister's isolation being on top of the list.

They drifted to sleep at this position, Agdar hugging Idun. He didn't say, but it also pained him to see Elsa hide something from them, even if he understood more her reasons. But since he was the one used to conceal his emotions most of his life, it was hard to show he was troubled to his wife, even if showing meant easing her pain. Besides, she needed someone to support her, and he had to be that someone. Idun made no mystery how the isolation deeply affected her, and Agdar always tried his best to give her hope.

Meanwhile, Elsa went earlier than the usual to the tower. She still took the secret passageway so she wouldn't bump into her mother or Anna. Especially considering this time of the year Anna was bound to roam the Castle restlessly since their parents had little time to spend with her. There was also the fact that it was likely that Anna would be with Gerda drinking hot chocolate, so her mother told her.

Elsa smiled remembering one memory. She recalled the times before the isolation that Anna would sneak up in the kitchen with her to drink hot chocolate. Or just eat chocolate at all. It was an addiction her mother had and passed down to both her daughters. They had never been caught doing this, but her mother and Gerda knew the sisters were the ones responsible for the sudden mess in the kitchen when the chef arrived in the morning.

Her smile immediately vanished when, involuntarily, the memory shifted to that day 3 years ago. Everyone was hoping that the improvements she had meant she would come out of her isolation. Even she started believing in that, until her powers had an outburst when both her parents were in her room. Since them, it was pretty much like the first months of the isolation if not worse.

She picked up her pace. For some odd reason she didn't dwell into any bad memories when was hearing that boy's story. She noticed the small corridors were colder than the usual, probably because the memories triggered her powers. She tried breathing deeply to keep them contained, and moved her hands to feel the fabric of the gloves. Even though during some outburst she had been wearing them Elsa still felt somewhat reassured whenever she felt the tight material concealing her bare hands.

She was actually glad that he didn't notice the changes in the temperature. Sure, they didn't get as cold as when she's upset or in fear, but she noticed the subtle drops. If anything, hearing more of his story might ease up her mind. She didn't dare to hope, as the last time she hoped for something only ended up in disappointment.

007

When she arrived at the tower, slightly panting as she unconsciously was half running, half walking, she noticed it was empty. For a moment she panicked, fearing the boy left, or decided to explore the castle. The temperature dropped drastically, and she forced herself to even her breaths and calm herself, as her mantra played in her head. 'Conceal, don't feel. Conceal, don't feel.'

She sat once satisfied that she sort of managed to control her powers, and decided to wait awhile to see if he would appear again. He had told her he would be around, and Elsa refused to believe that he had left. A part of her suggested that he had gone to the forest nearby, afraid that, despite her claim, someone could stumble at the tower and find him.

007

007

Hiccup had, as soon as the night came, taken Toothless to fly. The dragon was hungry, and so was he, so they went fishing as soon as they were in the air. He decided to drop at the forest and make a small camp fire to eat before returning to the tower. Windwalker certainly liked the company, and since he couldn't go to the tower, as there was always the risk Elsa could suddenly appear, he rested in the woods.

After landing back at the tower, his gaze fell on the sitting princess as soon as he hopped off from the saddle. He blushed from embarrassment once he realized that he left the girl waiting. Because of this, and Elsa's apparently mad face, he decided to explain himself. "Hi," he said shyly, averting her gaze while rubbing the back of his neck.

"I…" he tried speaking, but it was like his tongue wasn't working. He cleared his throat before trying again. "I-I'm sorry we kept you waiting." He paused, trying to calm himself a little. 'Great, first day and you already messed up.' He thought bitterly.

"He wanted to go flying…" Toothless huffed indignantly at being blamed. Hiccup spoke up, though, before the dragon would smack him. "And we were hungry. He fished for us and we ate in the forest. I figured making a campfire here wouldn't be a good idea." He closed his eyes, waiting to hear the all too common 'you messed up' he was used to.

Because our Hiccup isn't our Hiccup without making a mistake.

Also, I'm looking for Frozen fics to read, HTTYD and crossovers too. If any of you know one that you think I'd like, do feel free to leave their name, with the author's too if possible, on a PM or review.

Until next time... which I don't know when it'll be. Probably somewhere near the end of July
