Ship's damaged, ain't much of a market here, still shitty dragons everywhere. We've been told they ain't all that dangerous, though. Ha, yeah, tell that to Franky, damn things nearly took down the whole mast and our sails look like shit. But there's a lot of ships in the harbor, so at least we know they've got the means to fix this.

Apparently this island is called Berk. Shitty name. The people here—

...

Are they riding the—? What the hell. ...Back in a bit, gonna go take a closer look.

Aww, are the poor little pirates not having fun?

Pirates?!

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think they're dangerous; just stupid.

The two aren't exactly that far removed from each other.

Well, having met Snotlout... But I'm pretty sure they're not going to hurt us.

Correction: I know they're not going to hurt us. I'm pretty sure they're not going to try to hurt us.

It'd probably be better for their sakes if they didn't.

Exactly. So don't worry.

...Nah, it actually ain't that bad!

Could have fooled me.

Well getting attacked by the dragons right off the bat wasn't too promising. And then your island ain't all that inviting looking from a distance. But after hiking around it some...

...Hey, you're the girl who called off the dragons in the first place, right? What's your name?

Well, it suits us just fine. We've been here for seven generations.

Astrid Hofferson.

Really? Your village doesn't look that old.

Ah, well - thank you for helping us out there, Astrid-chan~!!!

The village is old, but all the buildings are new.

Hm. You're welcome. But if you antagonize the dragons again - or any of the people - don't except me to help you out a second time.

Why's that—oh, wait. That Hiccup kid says you guys used to be at war with them, that got anything to do with it?

We won't! Now that we know they're alright!

They burnt down all of our buildings on a regular basis. Sometimes they still do by accident, but that's rare and it's usually a human's fault.

Good.

Yeah, I can definitely see how that'd be a pain in the ass. Having them as pets is better.

They have their benefits.

Mm...hey, Astrid-chan~ The kid I was talking to before up and disappeared, maybe you can tell me - what's the best way to go about riding one of these things? Can I just hop on?

Don't call me that. And - What? Are you nuts? You can't just--

...It's your name, isn't it?

Astrid-chan is not my name.

It MOSTLY is!

...

Okay!

Good luck.
