"You muttonhead I can't believe you got us lost on this stupid new island, we don't even have our dragons to get back," Snotlout complained as he and the twins walked through the thick forest trying to find the shore.
"Yeah, Ruffnut what's wrong with you," Tuff said flicking his sister's nose.
"Me! You're the one that had the map," Ruff retaliated, starting a fight with the other twin. Snotlout slowly turned his head, glaring down at the two vikings rolling around in the dirt. He swore to himself that if they ever got back to The Edge he would do anything to make sure he didn't have to go on a mission with the twins again, even if that meant getting on his knees and begging. Deciding he had had enough of Thorston and Thorston, Snotlout walked off deeper into the forest not caring much if the others followed him or not.
It had been a few hours now and Snotlout was even more lost than before, usually he wouldn't care but it was starting to get dark and who knew what kind of dragons might be hiding in the trees? Silently cursing, he started gathering sticks to try and use for fire, hoping that he still remembered how to light one without Hookfang. As Snotlout set up camp his mind drifted to the twins, he hadn't seen any signs of them since he left and honestly, he was starting to worry. Yes, they were pretty capable vikings but it was a well-known fact that Ruff was the smarter twin and was the reason her brother survived half the stuff they'd been through. Before he could decide between staying or going to look for them he was tackled, after recovering he noticed that it was Ruffnut and she was clearly panicked.
"Oh, thank Thor I found you! follow me, I'll explain on the way," the blonde panted before running back towards the direction she came from. Snotlout didn't even question her, he just grabbed his warhammer and ran after his friend. Ruffnut explained that while she and Tuffnut were walking to the center of the forest a dragon had grabbed Tuff and flown off with him, now he was stuck in a dragon's nest being treated as a baby dragon.
The two riders hid behind a bush watching as the nadder tried feeding some regurgitated fish to her 'baby'. Snotlout gagged at the display before turning around and drawing out a plan in the dirt.
"All right I'll distract her, you get your idiot brother and then we leave. Got it, good," Snotlout explained his expression, making clear to the female 'Nut that they only had one chance at this.
"Hey Snotty, thanks for helping," Ruffnut said, a genuine smile on her face. Snotlout just shrugged his shoulders responding, "I know how much he means to you." Ruffnut smiled to herself as she watched her friend as he yelled insults and ran away from the dragon, gods if only he knew the effect he had on her.
