(A/N I know, I know, I said that I would've had this chapter done a while back, but real life got in the way taking up a lot of my time. SO, from now on I'll post whenever I can, and I hope you all understand. I'll try my best to get chapters out, but I won't say how long it'll be, I also do want to work on The Dragon Lord and Kothar Di Wer Svant some more. They will take up some more time as well, plus I do have some other stories I have been working on. Won't say what they are just yet but in time I will.
Anyways sorry for the looooong explanation but I had to let everyone that has stuck around know. I don't ever plan on stopping this story or any other story I write, it's just real life getting in the way. One more thing, I might add some more to this chapter in the future since I feel like it's been rushed but I don't know just yet. Once again thank you all for sticking around, Draco1997 OUT!)
(Chapter Thirty-Three)
(Loredas 24th) (With Raven, Sal, Mikazuki, and Draco)
Morning has arrived and most of Berk has awaken to get ready for winter, gather wood, food and whatever other essentials, the people of Berk have to get prepare. Draco, Raven, Sal, and Mikazuki were also among those that have woken up early but for different reasons.
Sal and Raven were getting their more heavier fur clothing and trapping gear ready to head out for another day hunting. Mikazuki getting ready to go into the village to gather some more supplies, mostly nails and hinges for the house. While Draco is getting ready for when Hiccup shows for training.
Draco was already waiting outside, sitting next to Galaxy while the other three are just now exiting the house. They noticed him sitting there, walking over to him Raven was the first to speak.
"Hiccup not here yet?"
"Not yet, but I'll just give him more to do" he said with a grin.
Raven laughs "Don't go to hard on him" Sal says with a grin.
"No promises, you about to go hunting again?" he asks.
"Yep, got to get ready for winter, I would have to say it'll be in a couple of days from now before winter is upon Berk" Raven explains as she clenches onto her fur coat.
"Then you better hurry, same goes for you Mikazuki, we need those nails and hinges so we can get on those projects before the snow sets in"
"Then I'll be going now" he says, taking his leave. Sal and Raven followed not to long after he left going on their hunt.
Not long after the trio left, he heard a snap of a twig coming from above the cove. Looking over where he heard it, he saw that it was Hiccup making his way down the dirt ramp that Galaxy made himself a while back.
"You're late" Draco dryly says.
"Sorry, my father wanted to "talk" to me" he explains.
"Doesn't matter, it's time to train, this time you'll be doing some laps in the forest" Hiccup groans but doesn't say anything.
(With Astrid)
Last night was rough for Astrid. She had a hard time getting to sleep since her head was full of thoughts and was replaying what that note her mom left her said over and over throughout most of the night causing her to blush and her head fills with said thoughts.
Eventually she was able to get some sleep but not enough to her liking but she has to keep up her training and wake up at her usual time as always, though lately that has become hard but she's still trying.
When morning came, she had to force herself out of bed and get ready for the day, though she's free for most of the day since she doesn't have any chores or training the kids until the repairs are done. She'll probably go hang out with Ruffnut and the other girls.
After eating her breakfast, in silence, she quickly took off hoping that her mother wasn't going to bring up yesterday again but sadly it didn't work out in her favor. Ingrid calls on her "Astrid"
Astrid stopped at the door but didn't say anything. Luckily for both of them that the father was already out so he wouldn't hear this and embarrass her more "Did you see the box that I left on the desk?" she asks.
"Yes, I saw it, and no, I won't be needing it, we are not doing anything like that, we're not even married yet" she didn't realize it right away but when she did her face turned red.
"Marriage?! What am I thinking?!" she thought in a panic.
She can tell her mom is smirking "Oh, already thinking about marriage huh? Just met the guy a month ago and now you're thinking about marriage, you are way head over heels for this lad" she laughs. Astrid doesn't say anything and leaves the house. She can still hear her mom laughing.
She couldn't believe the though of marriage just ran through her head again, did she really like this guy so much that she's already thinking of marriage? All her life she's only wanted to be the best warrior but now she's thinking of marriage. What has come to her?
She didn't find it a repulsing idea like she did before but the idea of being stuck at home, being a mother, made her not want to get married, that was before he showed up. Something about him is telling her that she wouldn't be living that kind of life. Going on adventures, fighting some new foes, traveling to new lands. Just thinking on this made her excited
She couldn't help but smile at the thought. She also didn't realize that her smile was noticeable to everyone since someone called out to her "'aving a good mornin', Astrid?" she looked to see that it was Fishlegs's mom.
"A little" Astrid smiles.
"Did something happen?" she smiles with a raised brow.
"No, I was just thinking about something"
"That lad with the white 'air?" Astrid was taken back.
"W-What! N-No, I'm not thinking about him" that was a lie.
The older women laugh "Don't worry lass, I'm just teasin' ya"
Astrid felt embarrassed "O-Oh, I h-have to get going, see you around" she quickly walks away not wanting to embarrass herself more than she already has.
Finally calming herself down she returns to looking for her friends but after a couple of minutes of looking around in the plaza, her friends were no where to be found so she'll try the Great Hall next and if not there then she'll check the watch tower.
On her way to the hall, she stops her ascent up the steps when she noticed one of Draco's friends, Mikazuki walking towards the forge probably to get more supplies for the house that they've been working on.
She wondered what Draco was doing today, probably at the forge, no, she would've seen him if he was since she passed by it while looking for her friends, so he's probably training Hiccup which still annoyed her but not as much.
Turning her attention back to her quest to look for her friends. Entering the hall, she scans the hall to see if she can find her friends but nothing, she was about to leave but that's when she heard someone call out from behind her.
It was her friends climbing up the steps seeming to have just arrived "Are you just getting here?" Ruffnut asks.
Astrid nods "Yes, I was looking for you guys, I thought you would've already been here"
"We we're looking for you actually, we even went to your house to see if you were still there but your mom said you already left" Astrid hopes that her mom didn't say anything to them about what they talked about this morning.
"Um, before we continue this conversation can we go inside first, it's getting a little cold just standing here" says Rivia. She easily gets cold which is strange for someone who lives on an island that gets cold for most of the year.
"Why don't you wear a heavier coat?" Mari asks as they all enter the hall to sit down and talk.
"I forget to grab one, besides it makes me look big"
"Really?"
"Yes really"
"I thought you wanted to get big" jokes Philia.
"In my breast but not everywhere else!"
The others laughed as they took a seat at their normal table. Astrid on the other hand thought about what she said and started to wonder if Draco likes women with big breast or small breast but as she thought about it and looked down at hers, she felt a little… insecure.
She was pulled out of her thoughts by Ruffnut asking her a question "So, Astrid, are you excited that you'll be able to go back to teaching soon?"
"I am, I've been anxious to have something to do besides do chores" the others shared glances with a smirk.
Ruffnut just smiles at her and says "I could've sworn you hung with Draco and his friends a couple of times"
Astrid raises a brow "I have"
"Isn't it fun being around them, like do they do anything interesting?"
She has to make sure that she doesn't accidently say something that she shouldn't "Besides train and enjoy themselves, they don't do anything else"
"How come that one guy goes to the forge and buy stuff from there?" Rivia asks.
Rivia must be talking about Mikazuki "They're building some stuff there but not much"
The others don't believe her but they won't say anything, for now "Then what about when you hang out with Draco, alone?"
"What about it?"
"Do you two do anything when you're alone together?" the others lean in a bit closer.
Astrid was feeling a little uneasy but can't show it "He shows me some different fighting styles that I could use with an axe, and tells me some stories about how their life was back where they're from"
"That's all?" Ruffnut asks with a smirk. Astrid nods her head.
"Are you sure that's all?" she leans in closer. Astrid nods her head again.
They'll have to believe Astrid for now sine she's really being stubborn right now. They'll have to change the subject for now. Ally speaks up "What do you plan on teaching the children when the arena is available again?"
"It's been a while so I'll be teaching them how to build up their stamina since they haven't been practicing since it shut down-" someone moans off in the distance.
They turn to see that it was one of the said children leaving the hall. Astrid and the others laugh. Once the laughter dies down Astrid continues to talk "But with winter getting close, I might take them camping to see how they would be in a survival situation"
"Wouldn't it be dangerous?" Philia asks.
"We won't be going into a blizzard, and I'll be there to help out if it gets difficult"
"Do you think Draco and his friends will be ok out there when winter hits?" Mari asks.
"I'm sure they'll be fine, besides they can all just huddle up to keep warm" Rivia says jokingly. Though it was a joke it still kind of annoyed Astrid a little. The thought of them huddled together (Mostly the two girls huddled with Draco) made her feel… uneasy.
"I'm not jealous, I can't be jealous, they live in a house so they won't have to do that so don't let the joke bother you" she tells herself.
"Man, I'm jealous of that Raven girl, she gets to huddle with Draco and the other two guys" Philia says trying to make herself sound jealous.
"Would Draco actually cuddle with Raven? Hana?" she wondered.
Ruffnut can tell that it's beginning to bother Astrid which is what they were hoping for but she's also aware that all of this could backfire on them. Ruffnut knows that it's messed up doing this to Astrid, but she really, really wants to know where they live.
"I wonder if the other friends that Draco's talked about, I wonder if the other women are just as sexy as Raven and Hana" Philia could only imagine.
Astrid was now really uneasy about this conversation, also a little aggravated. Not giving the girls any warning, she quickly stands up and leaves the hall. The others just smiled knowing that the planned has worked so far.
"Come on, let's not lose her" Ruffnut says quickly getting up to followed. The other girls followed suit.
(Outside)
Ruffnut, Philia, Mari, Rivia and Ally had to quickly get outside since they know if they can't keep up they'll lose sight of Astrid and this plan would've been a waste of time. Luckily Astrid hasn't gotten far and was still in their sight.
"Come on, we need to keep up with her" Ruffnut quickly sprints after her. The others quickly follow after.
Chasing Astrid down wasn't easy since she had a head start and they had to make themselves not look suspicious when doing so. A few people did give them weird looks but nobody seemed to really care.
After leaving the village they had to walk over the large bridge "Is this really a good idea, wouldn't she notice us?" Rivia asks.
"As long as we don't be to loud we should be fine" Ruffnut whispers.
"Couldn't she just turn around? what then?" asks Mari.
"Then we jump off" Ruffnut jokes. Though it seems like the others didn't see it as a joke.
"Kidding, as long as we stay quiet she won't turn around" she assures.
Ruffnut was right, as long as they stayed quiet they were able to continue to follow Astrid all the way up to the forest. Since they'll be following her in the forest from this point forward they would have to follow in a single file line so they don't make to much noise.
"Ok, get into a single file line and follow closely behind me and we'll also have to keep our voices down, got it?" everyone nods.
Upon entering the forest they quickly got into the single file line like Ruffnut said at the beginning before entering the forest. Though they waited a bit to long they still somewhat say Astrid off in the distance.
They had to quickly but quietly speed up their pace to catch up with the blonde viking. It was risky having to speed up since they almost got caught after they just caught up to her and they had to hide behind a large tree, luckily she didn't see them.
"That was close" whispers Rivia.
"Should we really be doing this?" Philia asks getting cold feet.
"Don't get cold feet on us now, as long as we're careful we should- crap we need to hurry, she's getting away" they leave their hiding spot sprinting after their friend.
After a couple of minutes of following Astrid through the woods they noticed that she was walking towards what looks to be an open area of the woods that has what looks to be a hidden cove.
"Why is she climbing down there" Mari wonders.
"I don't know but lets go see and find out" Ruffnut hurries over to a bush that sits at the edge of the cove.
Upon reaching the bush she slowly pokes her head over, to her surprise she sees a beautifully designed house sitting next to a small lake with what she can point out is Hana sitting near the lake, along with Sal and Raven seeming to have come back from hunting.
Ruffnut turns back to the others and waves them over. The others hurried over to the bush, when raising their heads they were just as surprised as she was "So this is where they've been living?"
"No wonder why they didn't want to live in the village"
"How long do you think it took to build that?"
They continued to whisper to one another until Ruffnut spoke up silencing the others "Let's go, we cam to see what we wanted and now we know where they live" with some hesitation the others follow the fleeing Ruffnut.
(At the Cove)
Raven was happy with their prizes from the hunt, two boars, a couple of squirrels, and a rabbit. this was the most they've caught since they've gotten here. Raven couldn't help but smile.
"Astrid's here" Sal whispers.
Raven looks in the direction where Sal was looking and saw her climbing down. Handing over her catch to Sal she runs over to meet Astrid.
"If you're looking for Draco he's not here" Raven advised the shieldmaiden.
"I'm not here to talk to him"
Raven raised a brow "Then you're here to talk to me?"
Reaching the ground Astrid turns "Yes, I have something I... I want to ask" she stutters.
"Alright, come inside with me" she leads Astrid inside the house to talk.
"What do you think that was about?" Hana asks.
"I have no idea"
Inside of the house Astrid and Raven are sitting at the table. It was awkward at first but Raven was the first to break the silence "What did you want to talk about?"
"Well..." she spaces out remembering what her friends were saying.
"Well what?"
"I... I've been wondering something, what is your relationship with Draco?" this was a suprise to Raven.
"Hmmm, if I had to explain I would say we're like siblings, not blood related though" Raven didn't think it would be a good idea to tell her that they had a fling in the past and that she still holds a candle for him.
"You guys do seem to have a sibling bond, is that all you have?" Astrid asks.
"Yea, besides, he's a bit much for me to handle" Raven lies but won't tell Astrid that.
Astrid glances down thinking for a second before saying something "There's one other thing I would like to talk about"
"What would that be?" Raven asks having a feeling that she'll be here for a bit.
(With Mikazuki)
After collecting the things that they were needing to finish the projects that they have to finish before the snow comes he makes his way back to the cove. While making his way through the village he hears someone calling out to someone but tries to ignore it since it probably doesn't have anything to do with him.
The calls began to get louder as the person gets closer and he began to recognize the voice. It was the male twin. He turns to see who he was calling for and it seems that it was him since Tuffnut was walking towards him.
"Dude, I was calling for you but you didn't stop" Tuffnut scoffed.
"What do you want?" Mikazuki was annoyed with the twin.
"Right, have you seen Ruffnut anywhere?"
Mikazuki shakes his head "No, I haven't"
"Damn, she was suppose to do chores today, if I can't find her I'll have to do it" he complained.
"I don't know what to tell you, why don't you go check the hall or something" Mikazuki is really wanting to hurry this up.
"I've already checked the hall and the other spots that we hangout, but now that I think about it I haven't seen her friends around lately" Tuffnut recalls putting his thinking face on.
"Don't they have any other spots that they would go to?"
"Yea, a few but they don't tell me where they all are" he huffed.
That's when Mikazuki noticed the girls coming from around one of the houses. Wanting to get rid of Tuffnut he grabs him by his shoulders, turns him around and points towards the girls.
"There they are, now go talk to her" he says pushing him in her direction.
Letting out a sigh of relief he tries to hurry up and leave but as he tries to leave that's when he sees Fishlegs running towards him waving his hand trying to stop him. He lets out now an annoyed sigh knowing that it seems like he won't be getting away that easily.
"HEY!" Fishlegs calls out.
Not moving from where he was standing he waited until Fishlegs reached him. Out of breath Fishlegs slouches over putting his hands on his knees and took a couple of seconds to catch his breath.
After taking his breath he straightens up and says "Would it be alright if I can ask you a few questions?"
Mikazuki really didn't want to but since they have to have somewhat a good standing with the Berkians he obliged "Sure but I'll only answer the ones that I want to answer"
Fishlegs got excited "Awesome, alright, my first question is what other dragons have you guys faced back in you homeland?"
"Draco would know a bit more about that then me since I didn't fight as many dragons when I was by myself, but there was a dragon that was a bit strange" he started to dig through his cloak pulling out a small book.
He shuffles through the pages until he came upon a page with a dragon that he had seen on his travels with the others "This dragon was a strange one I've only seen one of them" he explains handing the book over to Fishlegs.
Fishlegs hesitantly took the journal into his hands carefully looking over the page taking in all of the details of the weird dragon (The dragon is from the dragonborn dlc, Miraks dragon and I know I spelt his name wrong) It looked almost dead looking with a blue like skin tone.
"What kind of dragon is this? What is it's weaknesses?" Fishlegs excitedly asks seemingly to have forgotten his nervousness.
"We don't know what kind it is but it has a similar build like the ones we've seen before and for weaknesses is unknown since we haven't found any more of it's kind" Mikazuki explains.
"What was it killed with?" Fishlegs asks still keeping his attention on the drawing.
"Honestly we don't really know what killed it since we all fought it together" he lied but couldn't tell him since the way it actually died was by magic.
"From the drawing it doesn't look like it's protected by much scales, was it scaleless?" he asks.
"It seemed that way but no, it had some scales but just not a lot, it had patches of scales in different areas of the body" Mikazuki explains.
"It sounds like it was really old, most older dragons will loose their scales as they get older"
They stood in silence for a couple of seconds while Fishlegs continued to look deeply at the drawing taking in all of the details of the dragon. Mikazuki on the other hand was looking around just to keep herself occupied but then he noticed something, It was Ruffnut and the other girls. They were looking at him whispering to one another.
Feeling a bit strange being stared at he turns his attention back to Fishlegs and says "It's time for me to return back to the camp, I'll let Draco know that you would like to talk about dragons some more"
Fishlegs eyes shot up "That would be awesome" he thanks Mikazuki returning his journal to him.
Taking his journal back into his hand he slides it back into his cloak putting back where he had it before. He then quickly leaves making his way back to the camp to get started on the projects that they want to finish today.
(At the Cove)
Draco and Hiccup have finally returned after a long morning of training in the woods. Making their way down into the cove they saw Hana sitting near the water with Galaxy sitting next to her while the Night Fury was hanging out on the other side looking into the water.
Galaxy and the Night Fury were the first to notice them return since they turned their attention towards the duo as they get closer to the house. Hana eventually does the same and turns to look.
"What's going on?" Draco asks feeling as if something is off.
"The blonde viking, um Astrid, yea her, she's inside talking to Raven" Hana replies.
"About what?" Draco asks with a raised brow.
Hana shrugs "Don't know but something seemed off about her when she got her"
Draco turns to Galaxy hoping to hear something different, but he shook his head not knowing anything either "Ok, well how long has she been here?"
"Probably an hour" Hana answers.
"Um, I'll just head back home if there's nothing else for me" Hiccup voiced.
"Sure" Draco waves him off as he makes his way to the front door.
As he reaches the door he could hear the faint voices of both Astrid and Raven talking to one another, though he couldn't really hear much of what they were talking about. Deciding to wait until they're done he goes around to the side of the house and starts working on some of the projects (mostly Furnitures) that he's been needing to get finished.
Not even a minute of starting on a project he heard the front door open. Turning around he saw both Astrid and Raven coming around the corner and when they did they noticed him getting ready to start working.
"Draco, when did you get back?" asks Raven.
"Just a couple of minutes ago, wanted to get some stuff done today before nightfall" he explains then turns to Astrid.
"Is something wrong?" he asks concerned.
She shakes her head "No, just wanted to have a girl talk" she replies.
Draco turns to Raven again "Hey don't ask me, you know I won't say anything when it come to girl talk" Raven crosses her arms with a smirk.
"I wasn't, as long as everything's ok you don't have to say anything" Draco returns to the project in front of him.
"What is that?" Astrid asks gesturing to the half-created chest.
"It's going to be a chest, we're needing to build a few so we can start putting materials, clothes, and whatever else in them" Draco replies as he begins to add the hinges.
"How many are you planning to make?"
"Ten at most, I don't think we'll need that much this time around since at our last place we had so many some were left empty" Draco explains.
"Why did you build so many in the first place?" Astrid asks.
"Because he thought we were going to collect to many things throughout our travels and thought building a whole bunch of them would come in handy" Raven jumps in.
Draco rolls his eyes "Where is Sal?" He asks changing the subject.
"He's inside making some lunch" Raven replies.
"What are we having?"
"Boar, bread, and some mead" Raven names hungerly.
"How long will it be until it's ready?"
"Soon, I hope, I'm getting hungry" she groans.
Draco turns to Astrid "Are you going to stay and have lunch with us or are you staying heading back to the village?"
"I have some stuff to do back in the village, so I'll need to head back, maybe next time" she sends him a soft smile before taking her leave.
Draco turns to Raven "So what were you two talking about?"
"Really, it was just girl talk, anyway what is the plan for after lunch?" she asks changing the subject.
"Finishing up some of the major projects, the chests, some safes, and wardrobes" he explains.
"Will we get them all done today?"
He shrugs his shoulders "Maybe, as long as we can stay focus, we should be able to"
"Easier said than done, what will I be doing?"
He thought about it for a second before speaking "You'll be working on the chests since they're a bit easier to work on"
"When do you want me to start?"
"After lunch"
"Speaking of lunch it's ready" Sal calls popping around the corner.
"Finally, I'm hungry" Hana exclaims as she hurries into the house.
"What about Mikazuki?" Sal questions.
"He'll be here any second now" Draco replies as he enters the house.
With everyone going in for lunch Galaxy stayed near the pond watching the fish swimming around while the Night Fury on the other hand climbed into the tree then hung himself upside down closing his wings.
Galaxy continued to stare at the fish for a bit longer until he heard some footprints. Looking over to his left he sees Mikazuki making his way down into the cove carrying some stuff. The Night Fury slightly opens his wings peeking.
"What is he carrying?" the Night Fury asks as he watches Mikazuki heads to the door.
"It's some metal pieces for their projects" Galaxy explains.
"You mean like those weird shiny sticks those humans use on us?" the Night Fury growls.
"Yes, like that but small and not as dangerous"
The Night Fury stops growling "Then what are the projects?"
Galaxy looks towards the wooden chest "See that wooden thing? That is something called a 'chest' it's to store things" he explains.
"What will they store in it?" the Night Fury asks curiously.
"Don't know, it can store many human things"
"Humans are strange"
"Yes they are but they can be just like kin too" Galaxy referring to Draco.
"Humans as kin? They've been killing us for a long time" the Night Fury growls again getting angry.
"They kill to survive; besides it was the queens doing to cause you to attack this human village, they had no choice but to defend their home"
The Night Fury calms down a bit now feeling shame for not seeing it like that but that wasn't going to change his mind about humans that easily though being around these humans for the past several days the Night Fury could see a little of what Galaxy meant.
"What are they doing in there?" the Night Fury asks changing the subject.
"Eating what they call lunch, it's a time of day when humans eat or at least that's how my brother explains it"
"They don't eat whenever they want?" the Night Fury asks curiously.
"They do but they try to stay on a schedule, so they don't over eat"
"Why don't they want to overeat?"
"So they don't get fat" Galaxy simply answers.
"Like the rock eaters?" the Night Fury asks talking about the Gronkles.
"Yes, Like the rock eaters but humans see it as a bad thing since it makes them slow in battle"
The Night Fury drops down to the ground eyes wide open "You get slow from eating a lot?" he asks sounding worried.
Galaxy smiles "Oh yes, you get really slow when you eat a lot" Galaxy sarcastically explains.
"Can that happen to us?" the Night Fury was now on his feet.
"Yes, it can happen to us"
Without another word Toothless starts to run around then shoots up into the air franticly flapping his wings. Galaxy just laughed at the freaked-out Night Fury as he flies into the sky trying to work off the fat that he thinks he has and just in time too, it sounds like they were finished with lunch.
"Let's get to work, we don't have much day light left" Galaxy hears his brother exclaim exiting the house followed by the others.
Each one of them went off to different parts of the house and began working on whatever they were given to do. With everyone now working and Toothless was gone to work off the weight he was able to finally get some sleep without being bothered by anyone.
(6 Hours later) (With Draco and others)
After six hours of non-stop working and night falling it was time to call it a day and stop here for the day. After taking a few minutes to clean up their stations they headed on inside. Sal and Raven were both tasked with cooking dinner while Draco and Mikazuki setup the table while Hana just sat at the table.
"What's the plans for tomorrow? Still continuing what we've done today?" Raven asks.
Draco places a few plates onto the table then answers "In the morning we'll finish the projects that we havent finished tonight then move onto working on the other parts of the house that isn't finished"
"What's left to work on?"
"The storage room mostly, everything else is just furniture" Draco explains.
"That shouldn't take long" Raven claims.
"As long as we can stay focus we should be able to"
Raven brings over a wood plate with fresh bread on it placing it on the table "What about the balconies above the bedrooms?"
"Those are something else I would like to get done but it's not that important"
"I can do that tomorrow if you want" Mikazuki joins into the conversations.
"Ok, then I'll let you deal with that"
"Let's talk about this tomorrow, I don't want to think about work right now" Hana whines followed by her stomach growling. Everyone laughs.
"Well, lucky for you dinner is ready" Sal says as he starts pouring the soup into some bowls then placing them on the table.
One at a time each one grabbed a bowl as they were placed on the table then grabbing a loaf of bread from the wooden plate. Raven then brought over a small barrel full of mead with a tap to pour it into the cups.
After everyone was seated, they grabbed the foods they wanted, filling their cups to the top. When they got what they wanted they started digging into their food. For the first few minutes they sat in silence until Raven spoke.
"Do you think we should feed Galaxy?"
"The Night Fury's been gathering fish for him so he should be fine"
"When do you think his wing will be healed?" Mikazuki asks speaking up for once.
"Honestly, I thought he would've healed by now, but it seems it was much worse than expected, or unless he's just not saying anything about it" Draco wasn't actually sure if it was still hurt or not.
"Would he tell you if it was healed?"
Draco shrugs "Maybe, unless he's keeping us here on purpose"
"Maybe you should have him try to fly tomorrow" Sal suggests.
"I should, but we'll be busy, so it'll have to wait"
Sal turns to Raven "Did you help Astrid with whatever she came here for?"
"Yea, it was just some explaining but I can't go into details, girl talk you know" She explains still keeping the details to herself.
"Is it really ok for her to come here so much, what if someone follows her?" Mikazuki asks concerned.
"If someone were to follow her here Galaxy would sense it before they got to close and hide so even if they did it wouldn't matter but I would like it if they didn't" Draco explains not knowing that someone has already followed her here before.
Silence fell over the table once again but not for long this time. Eventually everyone finished with their food and Hana was the one to speak this time as she pushes herself away from the table.
Hana lets out a yawn standing to her feet leaving the table "I'm heading to bed, see you all in the morning" she says as she heads on upstairs.
"Yea, we should all get some sleep since we're going to have an early start tomorrow" Draco agrees as he stands to his feet.
"Who's doing dishes?" Raven asks.
"I'll do them" Sal blurts taking one for the team.
"I'll see you all in the morning" Mikazuki says as he heads upstairs.
"Ok, see you all tomorrow morning" Raven yawns as she leaves the table heading into her room closing the door behind her.
