speaking "..."

I am so sorry for the long wait, but I will try to upload sooner. I am not letting this story go so if you are willing to follow me and be patient I will continue to write and try to upload as soon as possible.

Halla's point of view:

As we all walked to dinner I noticed that the stares haven't decreased in the slightest, but Gobber and Auntie seemed to busy arguing over something to notice. Gobber is practically red from shouting and Auntie is standing on her tiptoes as she shouts over Gobber.

Gabriel was walking beside me again, and just like last time he was calm and collected not paying attention to any of the stares, but rather on his captain.

"Gabriel" I asked, trying to grab his attention…nothing.

"Gabriel"…staring straight ahead

I scowled and without hesitation I stuck my leg out in front of him. To my surprise he jumped over my leg with a little hop. "Don't' bug me I'm plotting my revenge." He says in a monotone voice, a small quirk of his lip. "Don't think to hard over there you may just injure yourself." I said, with a humph crossing my arms. He only chuckled, "I was only teasing Girlie what do you need."

I scowled again "why can't you just say my name instead of coming up with these stupid nicknames."

"What you didn't like dragon slayer so I gave you a new one…gosh touché."

"I am not"

"Are to"

"Am not"

"Are to"

"Am not"

"Are to"

"AM No-oh god"

Gabriel blinked confused by the oh god in my statement. Hell it even broke me out of shock and all I could do was laugh when I finally noticed.

We hadn't realized that during our are to am not we had stopped walking and now shouting in each other's faces. Gabriel face was not that red, but getting there while I was standing on my tiptoes to get more height.

"What?" he asked, still not moving from my face.

I was a bit distracted with him being this close, but I focused on what I was going to say "Its contagious" I said, smiling as I turn my face towards Gobber and Auntie who were arguing by the door.

"Looks like it is" he says before giving off a low chuckle. "Come on lets go eat" I nodded and we walked to Auntie and Gobber pushing them through the door.

After getting some food and finding a table more off to the side and away from other Vikings of the dining hall I was so happy to finally sit down I couldn't hold back my relieved sigh.

"See Gobber you worked the girl to exhaustion she can't even eat." Gobber was to busy eating to get in a proper reply so I stepped in before things got to heated. "No its fine, I would just rather wait to eat the blood berries is all."

"Are you sure you don't want to wait Halla you seem tired."

I shook my head "I'm alright really…you shouldn't worry about me so much."

Auntie gave off a sad smile "If I don't than who will…if anything I should have worried about you more maybe than..." I wondered if that what I looked like when I was sad and smiling. 'No wonder Toothless and Gobber didn't like my sad smile…it's depressing' I thought as I turned to grab Auntie's hand. "You here now and that's all that matter." What surprised me was the truth in my words. It didn't matter that Auntie left whether by her own will or because of Stoic, she was here trying to take care of me now. She cares and that's what matters.

Auntie smiled a real smile and patted my head. "So how has life on Berk been since I have been gone." She says going back to her food.

"It's been well hard…but than again what on Berk isn't." That got a laugh from the entire table.

"I must say I was surprised to hear that your father let you into dragon training…I would have thought he would have locked you in a tower somewhere far from trouble."

"I'm sure he would have tried had Gobber not been here for me."

"Well have you found your weapon of choice yet? I prefer the sword rather than a traditional battle axe."

"I heard Gobber told me you were amazing"

"Were hmm Halla I'm still as tough as I was when I was your age if anything experience has made me even deadlier, but back to my question."

"I haven't really been good with weapons dad gave me a battle axe…but that went horrible, usually I just stick with a shield."

"Hmm" Aunite placed her drink on the table and looked me over. She raised her hands and felt around my shoulder blade before shaking her head.

"What is it?"

"I was wondering if you would be good at a bow and arrow…like your mother, but you shoulder mussels are to weak to pull the string back for a good shot."

"Oh" I said, looking down I wasn't going to lie I had always wanted to learn to handle a bow an arrow. I always kind of hopped that maybe I had been gifted with mom archery ability. In a way I had hoped that it could bring me closer to the memory of her.

Auntie must have noticed my look and quickly jumped in to apologize "I didn't mean to say…that is you could-"

"Its alright I see the archers around the island I just don't have the body type for it." 'But than again I'm a talking fish bone in a land of Vikings my body doesn't fit on this island period.'

Auntie heck everybody must have seen where my thoughts were going and an uncomfortable silence fell on the table. 'Great now I made this awkward.'

"Besides archery seems to be Gabriel's thing I wouldn't want to make him feel bad."

Gabriel chuckled lifting his cup "You wish you could shot like me" he said before drinking. 'Truth is I do.' I thought, lifting up my own cup.

"Tomorrow if your up for it I want you to try a certain weapon…they are very popular in certain places, I think they would be good for you." Auntie wasn't looking at me anymore probably afraid that she would cause more discomfort.

"What is it?" I asked truly curious on what type of weapon could possibly be good for me.

Auntie turned to look at me and smiled. "It's a surprise."

After that the conversation was focused on Auntie and Gabriel's travels. They talked about the rest of the crew that I haven't meet or seen yet, the places and people they have seen, and through out it all I couldn't help, but think if that could have been my life if Auntie did take me away from Berk. Gobber would always interrupt the story with one of his own, or make a comment here or there that would get Auntie all riled up and start another argument. But All in all the dinner was nice. It was nice to have people to talk to, to sit with you and not out of pity or status. For a moment I wished Toothless was here to enjoy this moment with me.

After a few more words of banter dinner was over. Gabriel went back to the boat at Auntie's orders and Gobber went home.

"Looks like its just you and me Halla, are you sure you want to go berry hunting now its pretty late."

I nodded "We can grab a lantern when we grab the basket."

Auntie didn't ask why I wanted the berries so bad, or why it couldn't wait until tomorrow. She just nodded her head and together we walked to my house to pick up the baskets and lanterns need for tonight.

'I probably wont have time to visit the dragons tonight, so I'll just pick the berries come back to the house and get some fish for Toothless, most likely spend the night.' I felt kind of bad dragon training may have been canceled, but I haven't spent a lot of time with Toothless.

'That will change…just wait a little longer Toothless and I'll get you in the sky before you know it.'
