GOBBER
Alright. Where did Y/n go wrong in the ring today?
Y/n
I needed more strength on my jump. I could have been shot if I hadn't reacted fast enough once I landed.
RUFFNUT
[Sarcastically] Yeah, we noticed.
SNOTLOUT
No, no, you were great. That was so "Y/n".
GOBBER
She's right, you have to be tough on yourselves. Where did Hiccup go wrong?
RUFFNUT
Uh, he showed up?
TUFFNUT
He didn't get eaten.
ASTRID
He's never where he should be.
GOBBER
Thank you, Astrid. You need to live and breathe this stuff. [He moves the wooden cup and places a book down] The Dragon Manual. Everything we know about every dragon we know of. [Thunder roars] No attacks tonight. Study up.
TUFFNUT
Wait, you mean, read?
RUFFNUT
While we're still alive?
SNOTLOUT
Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?
[Y/n huffs and shakes her head at the three]
FISHLEGS
Oh! I've read it like, seven times. There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face. And--And there's this other one that buries itself for like a week--
TUFFNUT
Yeah, that sounds great. See, there was a chance I was going to read that...
RUFFNUT
...But, now...
SNOTLOUT
You guys read. I'll go kill stuff.
FISHLEGS
Oh, and there's this other one that has these spines that look like trees...
HICCUP
So I guess we'll share?
ASTRID
Read it.
[The teens leave, except Y/n, T/n, Hiccup alone in the hall.]
T/N
You coming, sis?
Y/N
No, It's been a while since I've read it. I need to catch up, you go on ahead.
[T/n nods and leaves]
HICCUP
All ours then. Wow, okay. So, I'll see you guys, uh... [Door slams] tomorrow.
Y/N
Just open the book.
[He flips open the book, reading its contents]
