"Never," he breathed in agreement, "I'd never hurt a creature as wonderful as you guys."
Hiccup spoke earnestly, even if there was a touch there. Not remorse or guilt, although it tinged to something close. Perhaps, more anguish that he couldn't keep dragons as safe as he'd like. That a dream became more distant by the minute, lsot now between the traveling of worlds.
He freely gives up the jerky then, letting the first take it and nodding his head at the other in encouragement — otherwise unmoving as he did, too knowing quick movements can scare and startle especially for smaller animals. To the older man he shakes his head. "Survival comes first, it's not one track-minded at all," Hiccup answered, allowing a finger to graze against the underbelly of the one perching to eat jerk, "even if I'm pretty sure these guys could manage just fine on their own, huh?"
They like the attention, he thinks to himself, now far more awake than he'd been previously — But then learning about dragons was the quickest way to get his attention. "I've never seen dragons so small," he admitted, "what about you, have you...?"
