Hiccup
"Been a while, eh bud?" Hiccup whispered, pulling some squash out for his old friend. Toothless was a lot happier to see him again then he had expected. Toothless should've tried to blast him with plasma, but no, he chose to purr against his body.
Toothless smiled ruefully (can a dragon do that?) and swallowed the squash whole and licked his lips, his teeth sinking back in. Hiccup could tell his daughter had treated him just as well as she did with her people...which was surprisingly good. Hiccup knew if it was him running a kingdom at her age, he wouldn't have done as well as she did. Yes, she made mistakes, but she was young, and all youngsters make mistakes. Siren was slow with laws, but given the system she took on meant having everyone agree, and it would take everyone a long time to agree.
Still rather impressive though.
"Wanna go for a ride?" Hiccup asked, ready to mount. Toothless lowered himself to let his friend get on, and they ascended into the air.
Astrid
One of the Quetzalcoatls- what was her name, Annette?-dropped a book in front of Astrid, then flipped open the book. Inside was a foreign language, made of weird pictures and symbols.
"That's Japanese. Siren-sensei can speak it and read it. This is an entire Nordic book that's been translated to Japanese by Siren-sensei herself." Annette smiled happily at this.
Astrid flipped through the book. She knew Siren knew many tongues, but it still felt so surreal to know this was a Nordic book translated to Japanese.
How do you read this Siren? How?
Siren
"Been a while, eh kid?!" Snotlout punched her shoulder as Siren was about to pull one of her swords out for sharpening.
"I guess," she said, frowning. Siren had been in the center of attention ever since she'd come back. Subblebuss and other children kept asking her to teach them new tongues, and Siren decided on Gaelic, knowing it was the most practical to learn because there was no Japanese, Korean, Mayan or French Celts here. She was still learning to speak it herself, but she learned a decent amount fairly quickly, so she wasn't too worried about not having enough to teach.
"Yeah, I guess," Siren said, putting her sword back in its sheath. She grew used to having people punch her shoulders and tell her it was a while since they saw her. Nobody had apologized to her yet for refusing to let her back on Berk.
"I hear you've been to strange lands far away," Snotlout said, leaning closer. "Tell me more about them."
Siren sighed. No matter how many people she told about the past seven years, there were still more people who asked.
