A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last drabble! This one's a bit different for two reasons: (1) it's a double drabble - 200 words instead of 100, and (2) it's actually set in the HTTYD bookverse... and there will be a few minor spoilers! Takes place after the last book sometime.
I had fun with this one. :)
Camelot Has the Hiccups
3. Loopholes
"Toothless, come back here! Leave the knights alone!" King Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III called in Dragonese as his tiny green dragon flapped around the training field like a mischievous bat, diving down and weaving through feet, and generally causing a distraction.
Once the knights had thought it endearing. "The ickle dragon likes to play!" Gwaine had cooed, grinning, before Toothless bit him on the finger.
Now, it was just an annoyance, but Toothless thought it was great fun, and, being the naughtiest dragon in the Archipelago – and Albion, it would seem – rarely listened to his friend and master.
Hiccup sighed. "Merlin, you're a Dragon Lord. D'you think Toothless might actually listen to you?"
Merlin shrugged. "Only one way to find out." He cleared his throat; in the commanding, hissing language of a Dragon Lord, Merlin ordered, "TOOTHLESS, COME HERE NOW!"
Toothless came. Hiccup raised his eyebrows, amazed. Toothless then proceeded to regurgitate a half-digested field mouse onto Merlin's boots, stuck his snout in the air, and flitted back to his game.
"Well," said Merlin, wrinkling his nose, "he came, didn't he?" He kicked the mouse off his shoe.
"Toothless," advised Hiccup with a long-suffering sigh, "is very good at loopholes."
A/N: More soon! Please let me know in a review how you liked it!
Thanks!
