012 - Phone and Action

[worstvikingever]

[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

[worstvikingever]

Since when have nicknames been longer than a person's actual name? Kind of weird to make it work like that.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Well, Arthur Kirkland is rather longer than England, but people still call me the first.

[worstvikingever]

Well that's not really a nickname, it's like... a whole different name.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It's still shorter.

Which one would you rather say?

[worstvikingever]

I dunno. Doesn't really matter to me. Which do you prefer?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Doesn't particularly to me, either.

But feel free to preface my name with flattering adjectives.

[worstvikingever]

I'll think about it.

[He grins a little because... hey that's kind of funny.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Especially if you mention me to any eligible girls.

Make sure to put the word "handsome" in there. But very casually, mind you.

[worstvikingever]

I'll try to remember.
