Astrid POV:
After Tempest was shown to a vacant house near the edge of the village, which she would move into if she was allowed, she was sent to a meeting with Stoick, so before she could properly settle into the house Stoick could judge her himself.
I sat outside Hiccups house with the rest of the gang as we waited for Stoick and Tempest to finish their meeting. "So, what do you guys think of Tempest so far?" Hiccup asked everyone, and they all replied approvingly, even Snoutlout who I suspected had a thing for Tempest.
Hiccup looked at me expectantly, "Astrid?" I shrugged, "shes alright" I reply, before the door of the house burst open and Tempest with Stoick appeared. "Can Tempest stay?" Hiccup asked his dad, and the slight frown on Stoick face turned into a small smile. "Yes, she is granted permission to live in Berk with us," Stoick said shortly, before walking back into the house abruptly.
Tuffnut voiced my thoughts, "well that was weird."
Ruffnut shoved her brother aside and grinned at Tempest wickedly. "This is awesome! We'll teach you how to annoy everyone on this island, and with your help we'll finally succeed in tricking Mildew into walking off the cliff!"
"Looks like you'll be spending lots of time with me, eh?" Snoutlout pushed away Ruffnut and smirked at Tempest who was looking overwhelmed. I rolled my eyes. Snoutlout really had no clue.
"Excuse me." I said loudly, and everyone looked at me because of my hard tone. "I need to speak to Tempest. Alone."
Tempest shrugged calmly before following after me. I heard Ruffnut say, "uh oh, she's pulling another Heather incident,"
"Can you even spell inciden- Ow!"
I ignored them and gestured to Tempest to follow me into the forest, walking until we came to a small clearing were I was satisfied we wouldn't be overheard.
I turned to the taller girl, crossing my arms. "Who are you?" I asked sternly.
Tempest just raised a eyebrow, her eyes narrowed. "Why are you asking me this? Don't you trust your chief to interrogate me enough?" "Yes, but I prefer to make my own judgements too."
"Listen, I don't want to anger you since I'll be living with you guys and I can tell you and your friends are all close, but what right do you have to ask me these questions? I don't know you so why would you expect me to tell you all about myself? The chief has deemed me trustworthy so why can you?" Tempest said. I blinked at her calm demeanour. Viking girls would have attacked me or insulted me by hinting that their untrustworthy.
"You're not Viking are you?" I asked, and Tempest shook her head.
"Can you just trust me enough not to think I'm going to murder all you guys in your sleep?" Tempest asked, holding out her hand.
I stood for a moment, before shaking her hand.
Then we walked back to camp, where Ruffnut was beating up Tuffnut.
