Merida has spent an entire Winter on Berk to learn the ways of her fiance's people, politics, and purpose. Both Hiccup and Merida are very in love, but the Scotland Princess feels disconnected to the viking living style. So when Hiccup takes her with him on a long day's work of duties, they both learn how to break down those foreign walls and build up trust. In the end, Hiccup gives Merida her wedding gift with a hint of Norse tradition and Toothless gets a new, fluffy friend.
