[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.

[OGODS YOU'RE NOT FROM BER-- No, you can't be. Your response isn't DRAGONS?! Kill on sight.]

Well, not that I really. Have... much experience with them myself but! I understand they aren't all fiery breath steal all your food and burn down your houses kind of reptiles. Some can be friendly. Or that's what I've heard...

Och, there havenae been dragons in my world for centuries. Some people say they're only a myth, but I imagine they're just hiding. Too many buggers around that'll likely shoot on sight.

[Frown.]

Happens too much, ye ask me.

[Wait, back up.]

Ye've seen a dragon before?

[toothpicc]

You don't say... [Well, at least he seems open-minded enough.]

You could say that, they're sort of the "village pests" back home. But they really aren't all that bad! People just don't... totally understand them.

[kingdom_of_song]

Isn't that the way? Happens at home, too, only we've nae dragons but people who use magic. They hide, because they're not well liked.

Though we rarely do anything bad. Just the loonies that come outta the woodwork once in a while. Gives us all a bad time, it does. So I can see where it might get a bit hairy with yer dragons.

People with magic? Wow, this place is so ... Ahem, I mean. That's interesting. [GRIN.]

But. Yeah, I guess it's kind of the same thing... Maybe.

So if you can use magic... why are you still here? Can't you just use it and leave?
