Lirath - The Coming Storm

 After receiving the warning the Tapestry had provided them, along the order to begin preparations from Councillor Kang, the crew had been getting ready for upcoming combat with the Ohm.

Unfortunately, the rather vague nature of the warning they received meant they had no particular way of knowing exactly when this battle would occur. Understandably, this put some of the crew on edge, but at the very least they had some prior warning that they would be facing the Ohm, rather than being thrown blind into such a dangerous situation. Combat drills, vehicle maintenance and armory inspections seemed to be regular sights for the week or so following Kang's message. Not much time to prepare, but the crew worked with what was given to them.

Eventually, however, the call came.

||Alert, Alert,|| Stacy called out throughout the ship, ||Priority One message from GIA High Command. All crew members please report to the Obs Deck. Repeat, Priority One message from GIA High Command, All crew members please report to the Obs Deck...||

Stacy kept repeating the message over and over until the crew began making their way towards the Obs Deck to receive the message.

[ooc: As implied by the post, we're assuming the crew's ICly had a one-to-two week heads-up about the battle. It was supposed to be played out, but RL timing prevented this from working out. Feel free to come up with the details of your character's preparations on your own

Also, as usual, please wait for subthreads to go up before tagging in.

Edit: It's up! Feel free to start tagging in!]

"Astrid!"

He spotted her, then ran up, looking immediately awkward.

"I just--I wanted to say...be careful out there."

He swallowed thickly.

That got a faint smile. Composed, she shifted her weight onto her other foot and passed the axe to her opposite hand, lowering it at her side. "You will be with Toothless, right?"

And pausing, her face softened and she looked over his worried features, her eyes displaying their own silent concern. "Blast them with everything you've got."

"Yeah. We'll stick together. Don't worry."

He stood there, clenching and unclenching his hands.

There really wasn't much else to say, was there? All the important things had been said.

So, Hiccup decided to settle for something other than words. His arms reaching out and snaking around her waist, he pulled Astrid in close and planted a hard kiss on her lips.

Sentimental as always.

Well, after everything, and especially in these cases, Astrid couldn't deny the feeling. Her free hand found its way on his shoulder, lips accepting his fully, reciprocating the warm affection, with little intention of pulling back soon.

Maybe she had expected it and just waited for him to make the first move.

They stood there locked together like that for perhaps longer than they should have been, given they were in public. Eventually, Hiccup pulled away, gently pressed a kiss to her forehead--and then looked as if something occurred to him.

"War. We probably should go fight a war, shouldn't we. Almost forgot about the war."

Almost forgot. Beautiful thing, being able to make each other forget that sometimes.
