A/N: The dragon training continues. Thank you for reading and reviewing!
Alvis hummed off tune happily as he mixed some of Toothless' leftover breakfast fish and leftover beef and lamb from his family's meals into a large wooden bowl.
Placing it on the kitchen floor he called
"Breakfast, boy! Come get it!"
A green dragon bounded down the stairs, breathing smoke and flame to his dish and ate greedily.
After a couple of full cows' worth of meals, Eggshell had gone from the size of a small terrier to the size of a young, lithe sheep dog.
He leaned on the bowl to get to the bottom, tipping it almost over and covering the "Eggshell" Hiccup had carved on it.
When the bowl was half eaten, Eggshell pounced on Alvis with retraced talons and licked him.
"Egg, stopit!" He giggled.
Eggshell released him and dragged his bowl over to the mess of blankets in the corner that was his bed to finish the food.
As Alvis watched his dragon eat, Hiccup came into the house from Toothless' pen, dumping an empty sack by the door.
"You fed him already, pal? You've been unusually responsible with the little guy. I'm impressed. I thought I'd have to take care of him myself."
As Hiccup tried to straighten out his and his son's messy brown hair Alvis asked
"Daddy, where's Mommy? Egg and I wanna show you somethin'!"
"Mom's asleep, Al. Your little brother or sister needs some rest too. Can you just show Dad?"
"Okay!"
Alvis whistled the way his father did with Toothless.
Eggshell gave him his attention over his food dish and walked over to him.
Alvis climbed onto his back with much more ease than with the fully grown dragons.
Eggshell let his full wingspan out, which was only about Alvis' height per wing, and the two slowly floated up to the ceiling.
"Not bad pal. I guess it helps to have a dragon your own size."
He pat the young dragon on the nose as he descended back to the floor.
As Alvis got down and Eggshell returned to his breakfast, Hiccup grinned.
"Want to try the obstacles, Al?"
Alvis' eyes widened.
"Can I, Daddy?"
In the arena, Hiccup pushed the last propped up board that made the maze's walls into place.
"Alright, pal" he called "Try and get Eggshell to the other side."
Hiccup had a bag of fish for Eggshell at the end of the maze and some cookies for Alvis.
Unfortunately Eggshell smelled the fish and being a growing dragon, he was still hungry.
He panted and drooled like a dog before bounding on top of the structures. He flew from one to the the other, the force of his landing knocking them down.
"Of course." Hiccup muttered as the last piece fell backwards and Eggshell lunged for him.
Eggshell nestled onto his chest, scarfing down the fish from the bag.
Hiccup grumpily turned his head to see Alvis digging into the cookies.
"Wanna cookie, Daddy?"
"No. No I do not."
