003 - Tinkering - Action at 729 Anderson Lane

[worstvikingever]

[It's a nice day, and Hiccup's in the garage with the door open. He's working on a pretty strange looking device, which turns out to be the tail replacement harness for Toothless. It's got two fins instead of just the one he had to make back home, so it's turning out to be a mite trickier than he's used to.

But he's doing pretty well. He might actually be finished with the thing soon. Or, you know. Finished enough for preliminary testing.

Any and all walk-ups are welcome. Hiccup will be so excited to tell everyone what he's doing.]

[[She's actually doing pretty well that she hasn't veered into creepy until now. Usually she hits that line long before.]]

You're sounding uncertain again~. Just relax~!

[worstvikingever]

Well, talking about being more important than everyone else is kinda doing the opposite of that.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Ergaleomancers are more important than everyone else. And in the case of your world, which doesn't have them, then surely an inventor of your calibre must be on par.

[worstvikingever]

But I'm not. Everybody's important. We couldn't have done it without any of them.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

You're naive. You'll grow out of that~.

[worstvikingever]

[He just. Gives her a look. Then he rolls his eyes.]

Whatever.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

You'll see~. Anyway. I need to work more critically on these designs. [[She shuffles through the papers and hands him back his and the pencil, and takes hers to take home with herself.]]

I'll start designing you a leg as well, in case the town takes that from you. Where was it cut?

[worstvikingever]

[He hesitates. He kind of likes doing this sort of thing himself, but he does appreciate the help.

Hiccup gestures at his left leg, just below the knee.]

There.

[[She nods and folds up the papers she's drawn on to stick them in her coat pocket.]]

I'll see if I can't make you something special. You can modify my designs, of course.

[worstvikingever]

[He takes a deep breath and nods back.]

Thank you.
