Miya is going on vacation.

It won't be for long. A couple of days, maybe a week. Less, if Things Happen. (Hopefully things won't happen.) Kit's busy with his end of year studying and exams, and Miya, well … she just wants some time to really spread her wings; to fly free without worry of causing an international incident.

… Well. More international incidents.

Luckily for her, she's got some shiny interdimensional powers that she's been just dying to play with. Just for fun, for once. So she squares it all off with Kit, gives him a hug and a big ol' kiss on the cheek, and away she goes.

[Toothless is certainly still all sorts of tense. He's not hostile, but he's also making it very apparent he's ready to throw down if he sees a hint of aggression. The teeth are certainly still apparent.]

There we go. Nice and slow. We're not gonna hurt you. [Lightly scratching Toothless' head, to try and keep him on the calmer side of things. He knows he doesn't like hearing things.]

[Hiccup is looking her over carefully.] Definitely moves more like a dragon than a bird... [And he moves to climb off Toothless when suddenly]

[A WORD]

[His head snaps up quick, looking shocked, and his fake leg gets caught in it's stirrup and he goes down with a yelp.]

[Which startles Toothless and he jerks back, a wing hooking around Hiccup to pull him close as he backs up, barring his teeth with a warning growl as he slowly, jerkily moves his head to try and look at Hiccup without taking his eyes off her.]

I'm-Toothles please-fine- [And Hiccup is flailing a bit, trying to get his hand on a soothing spot while tangled up in wing and still trying to process POSSIBLY SPEAKING DRAGON???]

[ holy shit ]

[ She stops in her tracks ... because she's too busy dissolving into laughter. Actual, legitimate, unmistakable laughter. ]

[It takes a few attempts before he gets his hand near his chin, patting insistently to get him to stop growling. He doesn't hide his teeth though.]

[It stops him from moving so much so Hiccup can kind of orientate himself.]

[And then just flop on the ground as he determines the best way to get his leg untangled.] Aaaand now the strange Dragon is laughing at me. Today is going great. [Muttered as he detaches his leg so he can sit up and get it off properly.]

[ SORRY NOT SORRY ]

[ She's at least polite enough to stay back while he gets himself orientated, sitting back comfortably on her haunches. Her tail swishes around to wrap over her paws, the tip slowly twitching back and forth. Hm, hmm, she should maybe (probably?) stop laughing and offer to lend a paw - ]

[ But before she can make good on her thought, he takes his leg off. Just. Straight up takes it off right then and there. Her giggles become a trill of interest, and she shuffles a smidge closer, stretching out her snout some to sniff in their direction. Metal? Metal like Kit's, almost, but way more simple. Huh ]

[Toothless growls a bit louder as she moves closer, hunching more defensively over Hiccup. Doesn't matter what crazy Hiccup is insisting on, he isn't going to let him get hurt while he's vulnerable.]

[Hiccup pats his side again, briefly, before focusing on untangling his leg.] Just. Stay there for a moment. He's protective. You know, big scary dragon, squishy human, he's always a little ornery when I'm not in the best state.

[And FREE.] Ah, there we go. [And gonna reattach his leg.]

So are you like....a mimicker? Is that it? Because that sounded like a word. Heard rumors of dragons like that, but never seen one.

[ okay, mr. big scary maybe-dragon, she'll stay here ]

[ because she's a (sometimes) polite dragon with (occasionally reasonably) manners, thank you very much ]

[ settles herself back down to sit, looking between them with avid curiosity. a maybe-dragon, and a definitely-human friend ... partners, then? like she and kit? it could be something like that, she thinks, when she catches a glimpse of the maybe-dragon's prosthetic tail-fin. ]

[ rather than try to answer the human's chatter, she tilts her head ... tilts it the other way ... and, points to herself with one of her front paws. ]

Miya.

[ When in doubt, start with the basics. ]

[Mimicker seems likely. He's never had a dragon actually talk before. Make sounds kind of like words, but he thinks their throats just aren't built right? Like how a human can't really make some dragon sounds. He knows dragons can understand words, though usually that requires human exposure.]

[But this dragon was on their own and any villages close by that bonded with dragons, he was a frequent visitor of. So she was wild?]

[Except....except that sounds like a name? Or Me combined with yes?]

Is that...something someone called you? [He's getting himself to his feet, keeping a hand on Toothless' side until the dragon maybe a displeased growl, but lowers his wing now.]

[ It's … hard to tell whether or not that's progress. ]

[ Hm. ]

[ Every word he speaks, she watches just as closely as she listens. He's asking questions. That's easy enough to tell. Kit's intonation changes in similar ways; it was one of the first things she'd picked up on when she'd been learning English. ]

[ Her ears flick, and so does her tail. The feathery ridge of her brow furrows. ]

Miya. [ She points to herself again, actually patting herself on the chest this time. ] I'm a dragon. [ Then she points at him. ] And you?
