Astrid gritted her teeth, turning her back on everyone, hands squeezing her folded arms. Just ubelievable. Absurd. Of course she has faith, but...

So there really wasn't a way out of this, huh?

Controlling herself, she eased and took a deep, shuddering quiet breath before masking her face and turned around to Hiccup, jabbing a finger at him.

"...stay together at all times."

And that finger drew away so she could fold arms again, her expression softer, and a hint of something deeper in her eyes.

"Don't keep me waiting."
