"He's one of the friends that entered the forest with me," Estinien explains in way of introduction. "He will not harm you."
To say they are friends would be an exaggeration in Estinien's mind, but it's the best way to assure the dragon's of Hiccup's intent. Their little, jewel-like eyes flitter between him and Hiccup, and it seems like that's good enough to give it a shot.
"We hunt, we hunt," they say. The meat Estinien left out for them really did seem to disappear quickly, with how many of them turned up. "For fruit, for crunchies."
With another glance at Estinien, one of them will launch itself from the log, clinging to Hiccup's arm and chewing on the jerky with its tiny teeth, like a dog with a bone. Another one flitters close as well, hovering a foot or so away and checking out the jerky from afar. In the meantime, Estinien pulls out some berries he found, holding out to feed the others from the palm of his hand.
"They've a bit of a one-track mind," he says, "but 'tis a want that's easy to satisfy."
