                    I couldn't believe my eyes, another Nightfury. I've never seen another one before. This is incredible! 

                     Kanan began to growl. He spread his wings to appear to look bigger, arching his back sharply. A fiery look in his normally kind eyes. Odd. Was being protective or something?

                    "Relax Kane." I rubbed his neck while speaking calmly. 

                      The two chiefs began walking to the Grand Hall. I tried to keep both our attention on that for the time being. We followed after. It worked a little, but Kanan couldn't un-glue his eyes from the other Fury. 

                     Once the chiefs were inside I felt it a good idea to introduce ourselves. Berk already had more riders the Silver Willow, so we better make a good first impression. I hopped off and put my hand on his neck. We really can't blow it now. 

                      I smiled softly. He finally unglued his eyes to look at me. They were still intence. He glanced between me and the Fury, debating his options. He sighed and dropped his guard. 

                     "Greetings Berk riders," I say walking up. I bow my head and nug Kanan to do the same. He did it begrudgingly. 

                      "Nice to meet you, I'm Hiccup and this is Toothless." The one with auburn hair said while referring to the Nightfury. 

                       "Toothless?" I thought with a grin. "Is that a joke on the way they retract their teeth? Clever." My mind trailed off. Oh, wait shoot don't miss introductions.

                         I listen to everyone introduce themselves when I suddenly remember my helmet was still on. So tight and annoying. I glance over my shoulder to make sure the chief wasn't looking. I slipped it off and let my hair fall out. I probably had helmet hair, and I introduced myself with it on. They couldn't even see that I was smiling, ugh, this was going great. I tried to fix my hair.

                        There was a sudden interruption in the introductions. I hardly noticed, as my mind had already trailed off again, but boy did they grab it again. One of the riders, with black hair and a horned helmet, stepped forward. He came right up to me saying, "Well hello."

                        He grabbed my hand and kissed it softly, "I'm Snotlout and the giant Monstrous Nightmare is my dragon Hookfang." He spoke smoothly or tried to anyway. 

                         I leaned away. I didn't even notice how much his energy had changed once my helmet came off. I was flustered, not blushing, but confused. I looked to the other riders for aid, completely dumbfounded. It's a little embarrassing to say that this is the first time anyone has taken interest in me. 

                        The blond, who I think said her name was Astrid, facepalmed. Maybe introductions weren't going well for them either. Hiccup looked like he was about to intervene, but we were all silenced by a loud humming.

                        Snotlout and I both looked over to Kanan. Back arched, stare locked, and tail coiled around my legs. Mouth full of a glowing a bright purple light. He had a straight threatening face. Snotlout quickly let go and put his hands up. Backing away slowly. Kanan locked eye contact with him harder than he did with Toothless.

                       Once he got back to the group he put his hands down, but Kanan snarled. He raised his hands again. Skipping back a few more steps to his aforementioned Nightmare, who looked completely unamused.
