[GODS how do you use this thing? Hiccup will be pushing buttons and every now and then there's a short 'Wow', or 'Well that didn't work.' or... various other mildly frustrated phrases and then finally.]

Okay... so I push this and... tilt it like. Oh! Hey, I think it's working. If that... green light thing means what I think it means.

Okay! So. ... Everyone. I guess. [Man, how's he going to put this? He'll speak slowly, it's obvious he's double thinking this. Enjoy the elaborate hand gestures as he tries to describe his sentences.]

I haaave a question for you.

[More hesitation and some minor background noise since no one responds right away.]

I guess I should just come out and say it then, huh?

Right um. So how does everyone feel aboooouuut dragons?

Not that. You know, it's a big deal or something to be worried about or anything. Just... a general question of curiosity. Right. [Not suspicious, nope. NOPE.]

I'll just... hope somebody actually heard that.

[Nervous laugh..]

That bad, huh? Well! You know... it's a lot easier to hold a conversation. This? This just looks like I'm talking to myself. Or well, a flat square light thing. What are these called again?

Not bad, just inexperienced. [ At least she's honest, but in a polite sort of way. ] As for their names, I do not care much for them.

[ The only reason she has to use her's is to keep up with things that may upset Shirou or in case he needs to get in touch with her. This made it easier for a magus of his standing. ]

Would this not build your confidence better?

[toothpicc]

My confidence with speaking? Oooooh no. That was... That's just what I want you to think. All... stutters and panic and... worry.

Ah, you wish to paint yourself as a feeble young man so that potential opponents could underestimate you? I see, I see.

[toothpicc]

Yep. That's... exactly it!
