"Hopefully good news," Hiccup says with some consideration, thinking a moment before asking, "that's a pretty fast turn around in coming back, what kind of mounts do you guys use?" Because in most cases it should take months for information to come back — Even the fastest dragon could take a full day from Berk to the Edge. He's still, unfortunately, working on his limited knowledge of the world.

Tehri's question, however, earned a nod and the touches of a grin that are just the side of mischevious. "Well, they're not wrong. There have been plenty of times Toothless has had to save me, but I'd say it's pretty equal," he said with a shrug of shoulders, "the problem is people capturing other dragons and locking them up. There's ways to keep dragons captive just like the rest of us and people who will exploit them."

Be it for hides, fun, flying or whatever else crosses their mind. Sometimes killing just for sport. His mind flashes through the reminders, but sticks to all the times with Toothless before he adds. "Yeah, my best friend. We've been through a lot together. Without him, well — "
