Eret was up to no good, Astrid could feel it.
He had been giving her these coy glances for the past week, and she was starting to feel uneasy around him.
Eret was a nice guy but Astrid still didn't trust him.
Astrid was never really the one to give into people so easily.
She needed time to get to know them first before she would ever think of letting her guard down and getting chummy with them.
While weary of the sailor, Astrid also knew he wasn't like Snotlout who always had ulterior motives in mind.
Eret had never made her uncomfortable in that way, and she was grateful for it.
But he was still planning something and she was going to get to the bottom of it.
She wondered if she should tell Hiccup of her suspicious but then decided against it.
He would only tell her to give Eret a chance since he always saw the good in people no matter what.
It was something she always admired about Hiccup.
Astrid watched Eret sneak out of Gobber's smithy, and grabbed her axe to follow him into the woods.
