Thanks for all the reviews guys ~ And you guys really want the proposal already don't you ;)?
Hiccup got off Trader Johann's. He carried a bottle of squid ink, supposedly wrestled from the great squid himself. He also carried something else, something even more special than the squid ink. In his pocket was a ring. Not just any ring though. It was special. It was crafted so well using wood. It was glossed down and glistened in the sunlight. In the middle of the ring, going around the entire circle inside and out was a line of pure diamond with a nice diamond at the top of it too, crowning the perfect ring. Hiccup had asked Trader Johaan for the 'perfect ring' and he was happy with what was brought to him.
Trader Johaan waved Hiccup off as he left the ship until he got distracted. "STOP TOUCHING THAT!" he scolded Snotlout who picked up a mirror to look at himself, but broke it in the process as well as a few other fragile items that were in his way. "OFF MY SHIP!" And Snotlout quickly walked off, not wanting to get into anymore trouble with Trader Johaan. It was enough for one visit.
Astrid spotted Hiccup walking off by himself. Usually he doesn't leave without her. She set down what she was looking at and ran up to him, "Hey." She greeted as she came up from behind him.
Hearing Astrid, Hiccup quickly put the ring back in his pocket, "Oh, uh, h-hey Astrid." Hiccup said.
"What's up? Are you okay?" She asked worried.
"Uh, yeah, just fine!" Hiccup said, not too convincing. Astrid looked at him suspiciously. Ever since the whole incident with Alvin and Dagur, he hasn't been the same and it was starting to worry her.
Hiccup noticed her look. "I'm serious!" He said, still not too convincing. "How about we go on a flight later on tonight? Just me and you and Toothless?" He asked her.
"What about Stormfly?"
"I just want it to be us .. and well Toothless." He said with a goofy grin.
"Uh, alright. That sounds great!" Astrid said, still reluctant to go without Stormfly. But as long as she got to keep an eye on Hiccup, that should be okay.
Sorry for such a short chapter. I have to start packing for a small trip ~ But don't worry! I'll have the next chapter up before tomorrow :D!
Happy 4th of July everyone C:
