If I Went Somewhere Else

Green Gem| HTTYD. Part 9

Looking through the Vikings, I spotted Fugi not too far away at a table near the wall. Oh good! I make my way over to him as he spotted me. Once I was at the table I sat both of the wooden trays down upon the table, taking a seat on the table bench against the wall.

"So which do you want? Steak or fish? I'm fine with either." I ask him.

Fugi silently chose the one with the fish, sliding the other one with the steak to me. I took the tray graciously and reached for the old fashioned utensils and was ready to try it. Fugi took a careful glance around to see if anyone was watching, which no one was as they were talking to their family and friends. He carefully took his mask off and set it aside, making sure to keep his face hidden from them.

"Oh in the fish, be careful of bones." I warned him.

"It won't matter if I consume them or not, I have before." Fugi lifted the fish and took a big bite out of it.

I simply shrugged and began to eat my dinner. The steak was a little more cooked than the way I usually prefer mine, but otherwise it was fine. I kept looking for anyone who would glance in our direction for Fugis sake, and thankfully nobody seemed to care.

Eclipse had gone to join his family with Hiccups, he was now playing with his siblings but both his brother and sister were ganging up on him. I couldn't keep watching them as I ate because I had to keep looking for people glancing, still no one. But knowing that if I let my guard down, someone will see his unusual alien face.

"So how are you liking the fish?" I asked him.

"I can certainly say it's something else, I do not know how to describe it." Fugi said as he continued eating.

"Is that good or bad?" I snicker.

"As I said, I don't know." The Predator raised a brow.

I just simply chuckled as I continued eating. I caught a glimpse at Hiccups table, seeing their kids giving the dragons the hairy eyeball. Okay, they were just chasing one of the Night Lights and they looked happy, same with the baby dragon. Maybe I'm just reading too much into this. I finished my steak, pretty full as Fugi was still eating. That steak may have not been as big as the fish, but the steak was still pretty big.

"Hey Fugi, I hate to ask but can you guard my bag to make sure none of the Vikings or dragons go sniffing through it? I'm going for a short walk." I ask.

"I can do that." Fugi said as he nodded.

I rose from my seat. Headed towards the door, I heard the sound of a little dragon following. Turning my head and sure enough Eclipse was following with a precious smile on his face, his little tail wagging.

"I don't get why you like me so much, little guy." I cooed and exited the Great Hall with Eclipse following.

Sky and Eclipse were walking through the small forest surrounding Berk, the snow beneath them crunched with each step they took. The sky was a mixture of oranges and reds from the sunset, darkness soon to come upon them. The human was smiling as they walked down a snow covered trail, every time she exhaled fog came out. Eclipse was playfully pouncing in the snow and rolling in it, having himself a grand old time. They both proceeded to make their way down a small little incline, the Night Light barreling down the slope snarling.

"Careful Eclipse! You don't wanna hurt yourself." She called after him.

The dragon turned his head to her, blinking his sky blue eyes. Eclipse then picked up a small branch and continued jumping around, chewing on his new stick. She just giggled as the baby dragon was playing with a simple branch, when Eclipse was then closer to the trees her eyes widen.
