[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.

[He's trying to do the math on how much Toothless eats but it's definitely not adding up.] Juuuust how big of a dragon are you thinking of anyway?

[alittlesweptup]

Well I suppose you're average house-sized dragon - maybe a touch smaller? I mean not that it really matters since dragons don't exist--...

[He trails off. A few weeks ago Charlie would have said that time travel and elves and half the nonsense in Exsilium didn't exist either.]

Wait. How big a dragon are you thinking of? You know-- [Cue airquotes.] -- "Hypothetically."

[toothpicc]

Oh. They're real back home. Big pest problem. [Dryly,] Whole village hates them.

That's sooort of why I'm asking. Uh, to find... similarities. Yep. I've seen one dragon that was as big as a mountain. And yeah, food's kinda the problem for him it seems. All of their problem, really. But all the others are much smaller. Depends on the type.

[alittlesweptup]

Huh. [This whole divergent universes theory is getting more out of control the longer he's here - elves, fictional characters come to life, and now dragons. Of course. Why is he even surprised at this point?]

Well I haven't seen any mountain-sized dragons coasting around here, so you're probably safe if that's what you're worried about.

[toothpicc]

I... don't think he's the coasting type. But good to know!
