Everyone knew Stoick was a fearless and selfless Viking. So it wasn't much of a shock when he died to save his son. What was a shock was when on the anniversary of his death Hiccup broke down and ran away. No other Viking would've shown that emotion.
Astrid ran after him. She spent the afternoon looking for the new chief and at long last found him talking to Toothless. He was reassuring the dragon it wasn't his fault.
Astrid stayed there till he became nothing but a heap of withering tears. She suddenly realised no sound was coming from Hiccup. She looked down to see him sleeping and sighed. She knew Hiccup and Stoick had never seen eye to eye but they loved each other. She knew that no matter what she did Hiccup would spiral down. She wished she could fix him but really how do fix a downfall?.
Astrid kissed him on the head and fell asleep next to him. Maybe Tommorow she could help him heal.
