DISTRACT Is Super Effective! [Open]
She sneezed and the fishing rod in her hands briefly jumped in her grasp.
Astrid huffed out a grunt, a hand relinquishing hold on the line as she indignantly rubbed under her stubby nose with the back of her finger while her blue eyes dully leered at nothing in particular off-screen.
Disregarding this fleeting suspicion, she shrugged it off, merely readjusting her grip on the handle, and settled posterior more comfortably on the moss-covered boulder beneath her.
Within the encompassing towering stone walls of what appears to be a lost oasis, Astrid engaged in fishing on these familiar grounds taken from her memory of a memorable location somewhere on the outskirts of the Viking's home village -- the exact place she stealthily pursued after Hiccup and discovered Toothless subsequently. 'Course, for Hiccup and his dragon, this secret watering hole served as a base where they established their bond as well.
Today, though it just served as a relaxing getaway for one of the female's less than energy draining hobbies. Or so she thought? There's a sudden reflection of a figure on the waters pristine surface and it was impossible not to notice she now has company.
Astrid blinked a moment, then pursed her lips and turned her head to look up sidelong at whoever approached her with a stare clearly of "Hey, don't scare the fish."

And realizing just how much she missed her Nadder, there was a change in Astrid as her shoulders slumped forlornly, but she quickly straightened. "Night Fury. It's a rare breed. Black, soars incredibly fast in the skies. Literally unmatched in flight."
"...Uh, what's up with your dad?"
no subject
"Oh, really? Incredibly fast and unmatched, huh?" The Guardian inside her was tempted to take that as a challenge of sorts, but the girl only saw it as a way to get to know the dragon better.
"Nothing; he's just one of those types who understands dragons but when it comes to looking after one..."

She paused then added, "Gluttonous, but nimble, surprisingly."
"Funny, that sounds awfully like Hiccup's father. The Chief is used to kill-- taking them down so..."
no subject
"Ohhh...taking them down. Got it." She nodded ever so lightly while realizing what Astrid had meant to say. Despite Hay Lin's easygoing at times nature, she wasn't blinded regarding the harsher points of life.

"Yeah. Humans and dragons initially didn't coexist, especially my people and our island nestled in the nest's vicinity. There were many raids on our village... and accidents."
Old village, lots and lots of new houses.
