"She can talk in your head," Hiccup said, knife out and ready. He was slightly behind Astrid and off to the side, out of the way of her axe-swing (he knew exactly how long her swing was after being the smith that handled fixing up her axe) but where Rachel would have to go through Astrid to get to him.
It wasn't so much that he was using Astrid as a human barricade as he was in a good position where he was blocked off, out of Astrid's way, and if she got knocked down again, he'd also be in the perfect position to lunge in and have a go at the great cat himself to help her.
"And she can change into other things than this."
Good job, Hiccup, getting in trouble this time. Crazy shapeshifters. A+ for effort.
