Gobstopper Campfire - Friday Night

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

Food. Food and drink and a small fire and a raccoon named Marcus. Okay, so the raccoon had taken the offered food and run away to eat in peace, but there was still food and drink. Kyle was more than content to have a quiet night around the fire. Yeah. That was gonna happen.

Any expectations of a quiet night would be unlikley to last past Toothless' arrival. Having spotted Kyle, someone he knew and, as far as it went, trusted to help, he came bounding out of the woods.

Without Hiccup he couldn't fly, but his wings gave him one heck of a bound, and he touched down neatly in front of Kyle, backwinging to keep his balance.

Kyle scrambled back at the big, dark mass coming at him. He tripped over the log he was sitting on and ended up sprawled on his back, looking up at a dragon.

Oh hey, it was a dragon. But no sign of Hiccup. "Hey Toothless." What else did you say to a dragon that just scared the hell out of you?

Looking completely unconcerned at the effect his arrival had had, he stretched out his neck and carefully set the plastic Hiccup at Kyle's feet, and sat back, looking from Kyle to Hiccup and back to Kyle, eyes wide and hopeful. He added a quiet, inquiring rumble for good measure and tilted his ears.

He sat up and got onto one knee so he could reach for the plastic figure and pick it up. That looked almost like a Viking. A very small, lanky Viking. "Oh. Is this really Hiccup?" Kyle was rolling with the weirdness today.

Toothless made a quick, sharp noise, which was the dragon equivalent of yes, then lowered his head, pointing his nose at the hand holding Hiccup with an obvious air of 'fix it!'.

Taking care with Hiccup, Kyle climbed back over the log to sit on it and examined the figurine. "He looks okay," he reassured Toothless. "I've heard people change back on their own. You have to be patient."

The answering huff from Toothless was most dissatisfied and he danced his feet impatiently, tilting his head as he stared at Kyle, clearly asking if Kyle was sure there was nothing he could do?

Kyle had accepted Hiccup's current situation and was thinking about what to do next. "I'll take care of him until he's back to normal," he said in a reassuring tone. Then he eyed the dragon. "You're going to need food though."

Toothless grumbled, whole body slumping as he accepted what Kyle was saying, then he flopped down to lie at Kyle's feet, wings and tail carefully tucked out of the way. Clearly, where Hiccup went Toothless would follow, at least as far as he was able. His ears perked up a bit at the mention of food, however, and he eyed Kyle right back.

Somehow, he'd suddenly found himself responsible for the care of a dragon. Kyle Reese honestly thought that his life could not get weirder than it was. "I don't know what dragons eat. Or how much. You're pretty big."

With a quiet rumble, Toothless settled his head on the log next to Kyle and half-closed his eyes. He wasn't currently hungry, he was satisfied his person was safe, and he was confident food would be provided, or at least help to catch it (he was sure those green deer would be oh-so-tasty), so he was content to relax.

Dragons weren't big on introspection or worrying about the future once immediate worries were taken care of.

Kyle put Hiccup in his pocket and went back to making his dinner. He'd have to find out about what raccoons and dragons were supposed to eat tomorrow.
