The black-haired boy exclaimed.
"We don't, Snotlout. Not because of our people hating us for siding with dragons, but because it's our choice to follow our path."
Snotlout scoffs.
"Yeah, a great metaphor."
He said sarcastically.
"You know, you and Scout have the same attitude, but Scout is more responsible than you."
The dragon boy's comment angered him.
"No way! I am responsible! You just don't know it!"
He exclaimed.
"Suit yourself."
Hiccup replied before entering his room.
Snotlout then realized something.
"Wait!"
Hiccup stopped mid-way entering.
"Who's Scout?"
He asked.
"He's an orphan scout from Caldera Bay, and he kinda looks like you if only he removed his hood. He's coming here tomorrow with Heather."
Hiccup explained.
"Heather? Dagur's sister?"
Snotlout asked.
"Yeah, she and her brother are now members of the Defenders of the Wing."
And with that, Hiccup went to his room as the door closed.
Snotlout seemed dumbfounded about it.
"Why?"
~~~~~
The next morning, two dragons are approaching the sanctuary along with their riders on top.
Both Astrid and Ruffnut just finished helping Valka to finish clean the dishes when they got a visit from Stoick.
"Hello, ladies. Have you seen Gobber around?"
He asked.
"I can hear him talking to Hiccup at the workshop. Something about using Gronkle Iron in weaponry."
Astrid answered.
"Thank you, Astrid."
The big man replied before heading off.
Followed by this, Fishlegs and Ruffnut entered the scene on their way to the workshop as the big boy complained to the masculine twin.
"Tuff, you think that using Zippleback gases for smoke bombs is a good idea?"
That's what Fishlegs said.
"Come on. What if we got surrounded by enemies and have nowhere else to go, we're gonna need those gases to confuse them while we escape."
Tuffnut explained.
"I don't know... I hope that Hiccup didn't like it."
Fishlegs replied.
"Oh, come on! He'll like it!"
Tuffnut replied as they went out.
"Smoke bombs, eh? Not bad."
Ruffnut commented.
"Ruff, not you too!"
Astrid said.
Suddenly, Astrid hears some new sounds followed by talks.
"They're here."
She said.
~~~~~
"So, we're gonna add limestone to this?"
"Yup."
Stoick walks into the workshop to find Gobber talking about the Gronkle Iron.
"Ah, Gobber. There you are. I'm going to have a word with you elsewhere."
"Ah, Stoick. Just as I suspected. I'll see you later, Hiccup."
The two grownup men then left just as Fishlegs and Tuffnut came by.
"What brings you here?"
Hiccup asked.
"We wanna know if it's possible to make bombs out of Zippleback gas!"
