012 - Phone and Action

[Phone call to Astrid, failed filter because he still can't figure it out]

Hey, Astrid? I uh... had a question.



[Action, mid afternoon]

[It is a beautiful spring day and Hiccup is sitting out on the front lawn with a screwdriver.

No, not that kind of screwdriver, an actual screwdriver.

He's making a few adjustments to his leg, you see. You know. The prosthetic one that has replaced his amputated left foot. That one.

Go ahead, talk to him. It's not like he's gotten enough comments on his leg yet. No, really.]

Comments

[yikes, that reaction!]

Aw, it's not your fault! ♪ I just asked on a whim, anyway...!

[After that, she collects herself.]

... But she won't go if someone doesn't convince her. I tried, and it was... kind of hard.

[worstvikingever]

I guess I could talk to her, but... I don't really know what the big deal is anyway, so I don't think I'd do a very good job of convincing anybody.

[roadroller]

Mmm... that's all right. ♪ I'll think of something.

[worstvikingever]

Okay... if you're sure. Let me know if you want any help, though.

[roadroller]

Thank you! ♪ I'll let you in on it if I think of a plan.

[worstvikingever]

Sure. Sounds good.

[He smiles and looks back to his leg and tightens a screw.]

[roadroller]

... So, who are you taking? ♪

[worstvikingever]

Astrid. She's... a friend of mine from home. Just got here a couple weeks ago.

[roadroller]

Ooh! A friend from home, huh? You're lucky! Is she cute? ♪

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup blushes and ducks his head, concentrating VERY HARD on his leg all of a sudden and mumbling something along the lines of "yes" but it might be a little hard to make out.]
