[Hiccup laughs at Dogmeat's approach, watching as Sharpshot abandons the mouse he's been tracking to squawk and flutter after the dog in wide circles. He does look slightly rounder in the trunk these days; on such a skinny lizard, it shows. Toothless only raises his head to look at them, tail swishing lazily as he 'supervises' the proceedings.]

All the better. They can have a good time down here - I've already checked the area and there isn't anything close, but Sharpshot will alert Toothless if he spots anything.

I'm looking forward to a flight test myself.
