No, but still. [Maybe he just has a less realistic view of how quickly change can come. Berk seemed to change overnight, after the Red Death. (It wasn't really overnight, Hiccup doesn't know how long he was unconscious in his bed after losing his leg, so it only felt like it.) When things happen slower... it frustrates him. He's used to having the kind of authority, as leader of the Dragon Riders first and now as Chief of Berk, to make it happen. Aefenglom is outside any sphere where he might have some kind of control, though.] No-, but it's- it's worse when they hate you because- what, because you're helping people that need it? Just because the people you're helping happen to be Monsters, and poor? It's disgusting. That kind of attitude.

[It's endlessly frustrating. He admires the work Newt is doing. He admires Newt.

Despite his at-times overdramatic movements when he's like this, the tea tray is carefully arranged. That's the thing about Hiccup - he learns quickly and always puts his heart into whatever he's doing, especially when it's for someone he cares about. He doesn't know how to do anything half-assed.

Sinking down onto the sofa next to Newt, he lets their legs press together, not embarrassed by the closeness. It's a simple fact that the Bond is strengthened by touch, and that it feels good to do so. Suppressing a smile that tries to surface, he leans a little closer to pet Harry as well.] I'm not biased. Maybe they don't see it, but you are.
