"You should've seen the look on Ryker's face." Snotlout boasted after the Riders got back from another mission. "I was like, 'Tuff, now!', and he was like..."

"Your wish is my command, Snotman." Tuffnut finished with a deep voice, his hand held to his chest as he pointed his finger up in the air. "And then, bam!"

Both vikings finished in harmony, like a girl-group ready for their next chorus. 

Sigrid chuckled. They really were like children sometimes. Astrid wasn't very happy about this mission, her face made that very clear.

She was worried about Heather, and Sigrid believed she had every right to be. But right now, they couldn't do anything, not unless they wanted her cover blown completely. 

"Ahw man, Sigrid. You missed so much." Ruffnut joined in, wanting to distract herself from her brother and Snotlout's sudden infatuation with each other.

"Oh, did I?" Sigrid hummed, making some adjustments to Sparkshot's saddle, so it would be a little more comfortable around his sides. 

Ruffnut nodded, a mischievous smirk on her face. "Yup, Dagur was really disappointed that you weren't there."

Ah, now Sigrid knew why the Thorston twin had decided to mingle with her. Ruffnut just wanted to see how far she could push. 

Sigrid rolled her eyes. "Told you so himself, did he?"

"Well... no." Ruffnut frowned, as if her brain had an error. "But I could see it, we all could. Just ask Astrid." 

Sigrid grinned, retorting with a shrug. "Well, than you can be sure to tell Dagur that I'll definitely be there next time."

"You will?" Ruffnut beamed, hands clasping together as she put on her best puppy eyes. 

The redhead laughed. "Absolutely, I think Sparkshot is eager for some action." 

"Ooh, I like your style." Ruffnut smirked, she was looking forward to seeing the Berserker get fried. Nothing personal to the man, it was just funny. "On a different note, can I borrow the Dragon Eye?"

Wow, alright, that was a weird change of subject. 

Sigrid recovered quickly. "It's Hiccup's, not mine, you can ask him."

Ruffnut groaned, obviously counting on mother Sigrid to give her permission, so it could overrule Hiccup's potential anger of her stealing it. Turns out she wouldn't get that satisfaction, so she'd just take it when he wasn't looking.

"Alright, I will." Ruffnut huffed, before going on her way. 

Yeah, Sigrid didn't believe that. But that wasn't her problem. Right now, there was a more important task at hand. Heather had news, and Hiccup wanted his sister to go with him and Astrid just incase. And besides, it was better for Sparkshot to fly with his rider whenever he could, so he would be prepared for her weight when he joined the battlefield.

As soon as she dismounted, Heather pulled her in a tight hug. She hadn't seen her in a while, and for Heather that was way too long. Ofcourse, she cared for her brother, in a way; but he could be a bit overwhelming. She'd gotten so used to Sigrid as an older sibling figure, so she really started to miss her now that she was with the Dragon Hunters. 

"Viggo suspects Ryker and Dagur. He asked me to go with him to capture the Flightmare. Just me, Windshear, and him." 

"Flightmare?" Hiccup raised his brow. "Why would Viggo want the Flightmare?"
