[Klaus is droned. That much was obvious as soon as it happened. Hiccup has no idea if it's temporary or permanent, but either way it's depressing.
And then Hiccup ran into Astrid. The way she said hello immediately tipped him off to the fact that she was gone too. Astrid never talked like that.
So there it was. The man he looked up to as a father and the girl... well. They were gone. Talking to empty shells of them made him want to go somewhere quiet and smash his head against a wall. He didn't, of course. That would be stupid.
So instead he spends most of his time at the forge or just away from the house.
Hiccup, for the purposes of this post, can be found at the forge (339 Brady Lane), or in the park, just quietly sitting on a bench and watching the birds.]
[Phone: unfiltered]
Anyone who asked me to make them stuff, I've got most of it done now. Just give me an address and I can drop it off, or you can come by the forge and pick it up.
Anyone else who might want something just let me know.

[He blinks at the last comment though, and looks up.] Sorry, what was that?

Date: 2011-05-24 01:52 am (UTC)As an Astartes, I am distant from humanity, except as a protector. I do not understand family beyond the bonds of brotherhood. I have never had a wife, or sons, or daughters. As such I don't know how to react to children such as yourself, except to treat them as young petitioners, and train them.
A... friend of mine suggested this place would be a chance for me to learn what it is like to be truly human. I have been told my viewpoint was already very human for a member of the Legiones Astartes, but this place is an opportunity for me to examine what living as a man, and not at all as a weapon, is like.

[It's something Klaus had mentioned, something Hiccup had told to Lucrezia, and something that he had just seen a lot of. People who, despite being desperate to leave, had taken the opportunity to live differently.]

I'm... afraid of betraying my oaths though.

Date: 2011-05-25 05:53 am (UTC)And... learning what it's like to be human will betray those oaths?
