The right hand was honestly just happy to be in warmer weather for the time being. He honestly loved visiting tropic places. He could swim so much easier and longer for that matter. He was used to frigid waters and other things. But there was just something about warmer waters he loved. They always seemed clearer to him for whatever reason. And the locals here seemed extra friendly. He hardly minded their touching as in his own tribe they showed affection through touch as well.

Some of the elders taking interest on his tattoos on his face and their meanings. But Hiccup on the other hand oh his poor husband Was suffering in this heat. He had retreated for the day to a rather shady spot on the beach where Toothless had taken to digging into the sand to bury himself.

Amber eyes looked upon Mari overlooking something further on the docks of her home. Never had he seen such a clear shot at the little snot. He watched his step. Made his footsteps as quiet as possible which deceived his very large form. He simply uses his foot and taps Mari's back with enough force to send her over the edge. Head first into the water as he looked down with a smirk on his face. "Ye looked 'ot lass. Should cool off aye?"

"Ye usually just go onta someone's 'ome and start touchin thing ye shouldn't?" He questioned looking at the red headed lass who appeared the night before on the deck of his ship. Why was she following him around for? Like he hadn't noticed.

"Ya fuckin out 'ere gettin folks sick are we? Ya best be getting yous and your creatures up ta ya hut 'fore the chief finds out ya getting other's sick." He turns the young warrior around and pushes her back to the home they had set up for her and her beasties. "Off ya get now."

"Think tha' tree might be an unfit sparring partner don't you?" He asks curiously. He wasn't one to pick most fights but he was honestly interested in seeing where he and the other stood. "'haps ye be interested in a 'etter target?" He offers.

Hiccup trusted her with his life. And seeing his newer position he wished to do the same. If she would allow him that honor.

He could only chuckle at her shock. Now that was something he was familiar with over the past few years. Not even many on his crew knew but that was because a few were too new to know as of yet. "Lass ya ain't look like me and don't 'ave a few littlens." He knew he was an attractive man. And he had a few regrettable decisions but his children were never one of them. "Little girl and one on the way." He was honest with it. His soon to be one happened before he pursued Hiccup as an interest. It also helped the other man became a good influence to his current little one. She adored Hiccup. He was sure the other would too once they were here.

"Ye may not 'ave time ta work from littens to an adult. But there 're a few beasties who warm up ta a good trainer quicker. Be able ta 'elp ya a bit better." Like Stormfly did to him on his ship not that long ago. Coming to the stables the stalls were filled with various colored dragons of all shapes and sizes.

"Lets get ya acquainted ta a dragon of yer chosin."

❛ you have no idea. everything here is -- well. mythical. i mean , vikings exist in my world , but they're ... from like hundreds of years ago. DRAGONS THOUGH ? none of those. as far as i know. we did have dinosaurs , i guess. that's close. ❜ a sigh escapes the blonde as shoulders hunch in a bit against the cold. ❛ i wouldn't have agreed before , but i've been a lot of places i thought were just that -- STORIES. every book seems to be true , though. ❜

she scratches at her neck as she absently just trails after him without paying a whole lot of attention to where they were going , though it does cause her to nearly run into him when he stops. she softens , that look familiar to her now ---------- PARENTS. seemed that connection was interdimensional. ❛ you have a kid ? ❜ she arches a brow , a soft hum leaving her. ❛ i like the dragons. terrifying &* huge , but ... the babies are cute. ❜

An eye raises at the other as he remained rather silent. It wasn't abnormal to see something like this with someone rescued off of the traders ships. Being a former trapper he too himself had done many a bad thing. But children were his limit. He'd never harm or traumatize them. He had his morals. ❝ Aye ... see yer not much fer words. ❞ He respected that.

❝ Right then up ye get. ❞ He motions shuffling Nata on board. Making sure he went first before following behind so he didn't fall overboard in the process. Didn't need to do that yet he hoped. Once the boy was on board the rest of the crew climbed on board with him. Taking their positions as they heaved their anchor and they failed off with the oncoming wind.

Conditions were perfect for today. Not a cloud in sight as the cool wind blew through the sails. Whipping the strays of his hairs as he inhaled deeply. Coming away from the helm of the ship as he pats the small boys shoulders a bit too hard. ❝ Perfect day fer fishin. Chief said ya might not know too much with the conditions ye'd been found in. But you follow ol' Eret and ye'll be just fine. Come on then. ❞ He motions for him to be followed as he heads towards the nets stored about the deck of the ship. Hand the folded ones into the boys hands.

❝ No use fer idle hands with the oncoming rougher seasons Ye be staying ye be working. ❞

❝ Right then lad. Follow my orders we'll be just fine. ❞ Taking a bit of the net in his hands he takes the edge. Taking a step and tossing it over the side of the ship. Letting the line out as he stops it. ❝ Then ye tie it to these knobs and yer set. Think ye can handle that Tactiturn ？❞

@rathalascendant sent: "Hey Eret, guess what day it is?"

﹝⚘﹞—;

"Lemme guess time fer ya to finally leave?" He retorts quite sassily. Honestly it was like every day she was here. "Don't ye 'ave others ta bother lass?" he plays gently still . Knowing it would push her buttons a little more

Cargo was always the life lines of the Isle of Berk. Their island survived based off of the trading routes their chief had obtained and opened up. He was rather surprised being with the other how much he had opened to the common folk of Berk. Being a former trapper he had never heard of half the places Hiccup had been. But he was now excited to learn in his new role of right hand.

Leaving his now shared home with said chief he was informed he'd be having extra company for the day. The traveler who appeared on their island was going to be going out with him. He didn't mind but he didn't know babysitting was on his list of things to do today. But supposed he could allow Fishlegs to take over while he entertained their guest.

With a crate on his shoulder the right hand came to the docks to see the other await him already. Eager little bugger. Getting here before him.

"Ye 'aven't been waiting long 'ave ye? Chief said ye'd be comin with me fer the day."

"Ye strike when they least expect it." he replies as he watched the other work. You know maybe if you give a little push and shove here than anything was able to be done but he liked this arrangement. Maybe Snotlout just worked better while doing two things at once. "Ye can do it anywhere. Never one place at the same time lad. Give ye an example." He moves towards the other picking up the crates he had cleaned off to join the rest being loaded up to be brought to the storehouse up the many hills of Berk.

"Ye know my crew by now. Get inta trouble when they can as you riders do. We made em think they weren't gonna get on the receiving end of a punishment fer a month 'for we dropped em in the coldest waters." They could swim but still they never did what they did twice again.

"Fer yer twins problems. Ye gonna do the same. Lure em ye ain't goin' ta do a thing. Do it fer a month. And ye drop em into yer version of cold waters. Either a prank bigger or a lesson they won't forget. Up ta ya really."

Snotlout looked up at Eret as he continued to talk to him about the sort of idea that was brewing inside his mind. He made sure that he was hitting all the spots on the crate in the meantime and was wondering where all of this was going for him and how exactly he planned on getting back at them. And as he began to explain the situation more and more, the more Snotlout began to understand just what was happening here.

Eret wasn't thinking small-time pranks like Snotlout usually did. He was thinking so much bigger than that. And Snotlout loved the idea of that already.

❝Not my fault I usually think small time with these sorts of things, anytime I try and make a big one happen, it usually ends in a complete failure,❞ he remarked with a shrug as he began to wipe down the top of the crate now, ❝I've always been known as the prankster who was behind the twins in almost everything I've done. But, if this is something I can get back at them for, then I am happy to get devious.❞

He moved from that crate towards one of the final ones on the deck and began to scrub again, a bit of a grumble still coming from him due to the fact he still had to deal with this regardless, but at least it seemed Eret was changing his ways a bit and willing to give Snotlout the benefit of the doubt on part of the blame that was found here.

❝So, you draw them in with the false sense of safety, I got that, but what do you do from there?❞ he asked and stopped momentarily to look over at him, ❝Do you draw them back in every time at the same time and place or something, and then a month down the line you drop the prank on them? Or do you do something entirely different from something like that?❞

The right hand wasn’t ever one for many words. But there were days he had to be more present when Hiccup wasn’t able to do what he needed to do. One of those days seemed to be this one. Of course it was during the royal visit where they were establishing relations out of the archipelago. 

He had to be sure Hiccup rested. And his beloved was not rested at all. Instead the chief had been out on raids with the other riders the entire night bringing new dragons to the isle. 

Closing the door to his home he came face to face with the princess of the royal family. Bright eyed and bushy tailed looking for Hiccup most likely. “Sorry yer ‘ighness. Chief won’t be out ‘ill later.” 

He motioned she go the way she came as he started off down the same way. 

“Ye need somethin?”

Get the ship to the docks. That's all he needed to do. To get there and he could rest.

It had been over months since the last time the Berkains had contacted their closest of allies. He didn't want to leave and part from those he loved but it was only he who could escape the dangerous waters faster than anyone. Without dragon of course.

A new threat posed to their homelands that drove them to somewhere new. Somewhere safe while this nasty poacher tried and chase them. But they were a step ahead for now. Everyone but he was safe. His ship in shambles from the attack of the dragons that man seemed to have possessed. Tearing his sails, ripping boards off his ship till a gaping hole lay in her hull. Water had been taken on. But between quick thinking and crafty fixing he was able to make something of the tattered ship.

And he was was not so lucky to escape unharmed. Bruises deep on his form, cuts deep and bandaged poorly as he his breath was labored. The after effects of fighting off the venom of these creatures. By delaying it with cold water. Tricks he had picked up over the years of dragon trapping. His sight blurry as forms came running towards. But he couldn't keep his eyes open long enough as he crawled onto the docks of the kingdom so unknown to him. But it was where he needed to be.

Eret collapsed upon the boards of the docks , out cold from the onslaught he had survived.

He simply watched and observed. It was what he always did. He didn’t jump to conclusions since the confusion of seeing the man he had thought passed onto the next realm. He really hadn’t said much upon seeing Hiccup’s face amongst the crowd watching the dragon races of when he showed up. 

No...no he really hadn’t. His feelings were conflicted but he wasn’t stupid. He could see how much more at ease his once husband was with the other. How happy he was with the younger boy he called a brother. There was color in his cheeks again. Laughter on his lips. And he was so much like the Hiccup he knew before he married him. The Hiccup he fell in love with. 

The once right hand of the chief stepped up on his chief’s absence. He never imagined being a single father of four. Two of his own. And the two who reminded him everyday of the husband who he lost. Or he thought he lost. Things were much too complicated....

Its what made him seek refuge on his ship. The thing that stood steady against any storm and brought him comfort. Always. His only biological son clung to him as he walks about the deck running fingertips over the railings as he hears footsteps up the gangplank. 

The very same lad Hiccup showed up with. Hardly out of his company since being here. 

“Ye got a lot of gal boardin’ a mans ship lad.” Voice carries over as young son grips onto his hair to pull gently. Amber eyes moving to set upon the young wizard’s form. “But a hindrance I can ignore fer now.” Mighty hand raises to gently detach the smaller hand of Mihka’s his son. Placing upon his shoulder once more as he faces Douxie fully. 

“I won’t bite.” He tells him a bit more playfully. “Much.”

"Must be my good ol' charm ay?" He teases. Of course he probably figured out when the Nadder became so fond of him. That short moment on the deck of his ship. Hiccup refusing to get off and trying to con him into taking him to Drago. He thought he was crazy and reckless even. Funny how things turned out? Now he was here , and what had started as admiration for the other man had perhaps developed a little further. "Beastie seems 'he can perch on top of me ship and terrorize folks." It was rather amusing. Especially his crew who were still deciding if Berk was going to become their permanent home.

But he listened. Watching the skies as she continued to speak as he merely chuckles. Shaking his head amused at her words. "'ard ta believe ye used ta be a chieftess. Never peg ya fer one. Course 'ard to know that when ye never see a face hmm?" His past would be what it was. His past. The harder details of it would remain buried should he wish it too. Now was a chance to change.

"'e sees the good in people. But 'e is also not ta be trifled with. He can be 'ery persistent." All good things in Eret's book. But he was excited to know more about Hiccup as a person. How this life would be better not only for him but for his own family. A matter he would discuss with the man on a later date. Right now was not the right time for that conversation.

"Easy ta feel like yer not all 'here when ye haven't started to understand yer not the past ye came 'rom.." That was something he knew all to well. He watched and observed but he knew with Eugene being as he was he was ready to tackle most of it no matter where it would lead him. But the plagues of the past usually kept at your heels.

He didn't like to talk much about the things he once did as a trapper. He owned up to it and he was not different than he ever was before. But his fears were the things that kept him up late into the night. The eventuality of that past catching up to them and hurting those he loved now.

Those were the fears he only spoke of with Hiccup and no one else. Looking away from the other he simply breathed deeply to enjoy the breeze coming into the secret cove. His finder idly working into the scales of his armor as he knew the mark that lay under the layers under it. Its not something he was proud of. And it was only a mark Hiccup saw now when they were together in private.

"Sure ye 'ear what the others 'ere have ta say 'bout me." He wasn't stupid. He knew what they said. He just learned to let it go. He didn't need to get Hiccup more in trouble with his own people for sticking his neck out for him.

"Ye come from someplace with nothin' ta give. But yer able to 'elp regardless due to yer ability fer information. Easy to feel lost. But then ye find something, someone that gives ye purpose 'gain. Best thing fer ya to remember is the reason yer doing it for." Coming from a life of crime to one where there was no need was a hard one. The years he spent under the rule of Drago he couldn't remember. So long he had been in his employment. Hardly remembered a life before.

"Gets easier with time. Ye wait an see."

He wasn’t prepared for this. Despite himself being a father to her this entire time he wasn’t ready to have this conversation. He shifts gently as he sits slightly away from her. Hormonal wasn’t she? Wasn’t this the kind of stuff mother’s usually explained to their daughters. He was sure he could manage something that could help her. “Aye poppet ye know I ain’t the ones to be saying things on these matters.” She was confused and upset at the same time and yet she was angry because she couldn’t control everything.

Sighing he wraps an arm around her and pulls her a bit close. “Aye ye can cry on me. After we’ll go talk to one of the other lasses. She can explain things better than I.” He was being honest. There were so many boys to look after he sometimes lost track they had a daughter.

Tricky thing meeting new people from tribes he’d never heard of. Not like he had to care before hand. When a particular letter had come from a terrible terror he had watched all color from Hiccup’s face drain at the same time. H had enough time to spend with Hiccup to figure out that this particular man made him nervous. Resting a hand on the mans smaller shoulder he reassures him he’ll handle him. 

He never heard a sigh of relief that loud before. 

Hiccup seemed to have lucked out. A raid not far off their shores needed his attention as he stood on the docks of the island. Waiting for the man known as Dagur to arrive. Fingers idly tap at the pommel of his sword as he watches the horizon. No doubt the other be coming by dragon but he learned pretty quickly here to expect the unexpected.
