*Y/n / Strax pov*

It's been a rather dull day on the edge so far, mainly because the others decided to go and try to gather some more information on where the next dragon auction will be and they had opted to not take me with them, something about not wanting the island eviscerated immediately, which... in truth i couldn't fault them for especially after they had tried to interrogate those who survived my wrath yesterday. They were all either delirious from fear and blood loss or they simply half drowned. So instead, i was talking to Ama in her workshop as she tinkered with the nesto as well as some small trinkets that looked like a bracer a human could possibly wear on their arm, though, they all had a large hole on the top of it which made me think Ama might've been missing something in order to complete it. Regardless of that though, I watched as Ama swung from one part of the nesto to another using a gilded thread attached to the top of her workshop.

Ama / Webs : "-so you're telling me that the seething Bazzleguse you fought a while ago said there were three large bio-energy spikes in the area, two of them being the two of us and the third being who knows what and where? And you decided to wait until now to tell me!?"

Y/n / Strax : "That's the long and short of it, yes and admittedly I had wanted to tell you sooner, it just... never came up... Though, now I think I know where it is, or rather was. I think I encountered it whilst we were taking Garf to Deathsong Island. No idea what species it was though."

Ama / Webs : "well, that narrows down the area a bit if nothing else."

Y/n / Strax : "indeed. Oh, by the way, have you seen Steve? I can't find him anywhere."

As I asked that, Ama stopped her work for a moment, putting the tip of her forearm to her chin as she seemingly thought for a moment.

Ama / Webs : "no, i haven't. though, he cant have gone far. I'm sure he'll turn up sooner or later."

Nodding in agreement, I heard the all too distinct sound of Toothless's roar, to which I turned my head towards the sound.

Y/n / Strax : "sounds like they're back, I'm going to see what they've uncovered. Are you coming as well?"

Ama / Webs : "nah, im good, still some things i need to work out with the nesto, every time i make it walk the back right leg hitches. I wanna see if i cant find out what's causing it."

With another nod, I walked out of the workshop and flew over to the clubhouse as I saw the last couple of them land with the trader in tow before I touched down myself with a dull thud.

Y/n / Strax : "find anything interesting whilst you were gathering information?"

Toothless : "oh, hey Y/n, yeah you could say that."

As he said that, Stormfly walked over me and rubbed against my side affectionately, which I mirrored with a soft, happy trill that rolled out of my throat before we both sat down inside the clubhouse.

Stormfly : "we found the island and scouted it out a bit, there's a lot of hunters but no dragons, minus a couple of fireworms and terrors."

I let out a concerned and understanding hum in response before I noticed the riders talking about something, the others seemingly noticed as well as we all glanced over at them.
