I feel Astrid's eyes on my head. She's watching me work. I wipe the sweat off the back of my neck. It's a hot day very unnatural for Berk. I'm still slaving over the forge as usual.

"Do you have to do that?" I ask.

"Do what?"

"Watch me as I work." I reply turning around.

"Well I'm bored." She states.

"Go for a swim. Go beat up Snotlout. Make sure the twins haven't set anything on fire." I listen some possible options.

"Swimming is not fun without you or the gang. It's to hot to beat up Snotlout. The twins are on house arrest until it rains."

"Then find something else to do." I say turning back to the sword.

"Can I braid your hair?"

"What?"

"Braid your hair. It's really long at the back." She says.

Have braids in my hair or keep working? Who am I kidding.

"Fine." I take off my apron.

I walk over to her and sit down. She wipes the layer of sweat on the back of my neck away with her arm bindings she took off. Then I feel her take small pieces of hair and start braiding. She starts humming a simple tune and I close my eyes. It's calming. Just me and my human best friend. Maybe one day she could be more. It's have to be perfect however. Maybe on a nice quiet beach or a beautiful sunset.

"Done." She pulls me out of my trance.

I reach back and feel 5 braids. I start to unbraid one.

"Keep them in." She whines.

"No."

"Please." She pleads.

"No."

"Just keep in two."

I sigh in defeat and undo the third one.

"Fine."

"Your the best." She gives me a quick hug as it's hot.

"I know I am."
