Hiccup froze, spinning around and awkwardly looking at Vivian.

"Who's she?" Astrid pointed her axe toward Vivian and Spectre growled from an unseen spot.

"Astrid... Vivian... Vivian.. Astrid." Hiccup said slowly, and Vivian walked over, looking to greet the blonde.

Astrid grabbed Vivian by her shoulder, and pinned her to the ground, Vivian looking unamused, annoyed and tired.

Vivian took a breath and shot from her heavy armor, leaving her in a black outfit, a hood protruding from the back, a thick fabric mask lay low on her neck, her snowy-colored hair falling behind her loosely, eyes a steely grey, a cape hanging loosely from her shoulders.

"I'd never thought of that... Armor that can undo at the click of a few locks..."

"So... Vivian.." Astrid ignored Hiccup's comment, even though it was a completely accurate statement.

"Astrid..." Vivian's accent thickened, and silver, black and Blue strands of hair ran through the snowy color of her hair, braids twisting in a few places, feathers falling from a few strands of colored hair.

"Where are you from?" Astrid raised her axe.

"Why do you want to know?" Vivian threw her staff in the air with her boot, the large, fox-tail tassels swinging.

"You seem strange."

"So do you to someone like me."

"So you admit to not being from around here."

"I admit to being different."

"The valley?"

"Depends."

"On what?"

"friend or foe?"

"Why can't I be both."

"I'm from Icengate. Vivian of the Valley of Ice,  heir to Raptor of Icengate, Alpha of the frozen city and Dark-moon Tribe, Watchman of the winter waters, and master of the Badlands. And you are Astrid of Rohan cheif of the Red-sea, if I recall correctly." Vivian said calmly.

Astrid rose her axe higher.

"Are you aware your people stole our dragons?"

"My people do not steal, only trade." Vivian's voice was harsh, and offended.

"You lie!" Astrid yelled, running at Vivian, whom slid, snapping into her armor, and Spectre tackled Astrid, sitting on her.

"Get this thing off me!"

"You 'fraid she might crush you? with all her 'weight'" Vivian lightened her accent, and chuckled

"What. just... happened.." Hiccup asked, pausing and hanging on to Toothless' saddle.

"Spectre." Vivian gave out a high-pitched whistle, and Astrid came at Spectre as she jumped off, and Spectre cowered at sight of the axe, prepared to burn it, but unsure if Vivian wanted her to, as she might kill the human wielding the device.

"Stop!" Hiccup tackled Astrid.

"Wha- Hiccup I saw you guys fighting-"

"You what!?"

"I thought-"

"Astrid, I can handle myself, Toothless can protect me, I- have a sword that explodes into flame if I want it to- I'm not toothpick-Hiccup anymore, I'm... "

"Swiss Army Knife hiccup." Vivian chuckled.

"What is a Swiss... army.. knife?"

"It's a thing, we found. it's.. here, look."
