I'm not sure if I'm using this correctly...Is this recording? Oh- Yes! Hello! I mean, I'm quite sorry that I can't get to you right this moment. Do leave a message and I will try to get back to you in a timely manner. Thank you.

[He makes a frustrated noise over the watch at that, scrubbing a hand over his face. Yeah. Of course. They'll have to pretend they don't know each other, won't they? For the sake of diplomacy.] I- I know, you're right, but- Not hearing from you for, for possible weeks is gonna drive me crazy- [And he's not 100% if it's just that he worries about his friend, or if the bond causes him to crave being near him.] It's, at least the Bond won't pull so much when we're in the same city again.

[He blows out a breath.] No, it's... not your fault. I didn't know either. I was going to leave for, for at least a couple of weeks thinking you'd still be in Aefenglom so it would have happened either way. [This is exhausting already. He hopes the talks go well, at least, make it all worth it. (Still assuming there will be talks.)

A little quieter, full of faith,] Yeah. You can do this. Good luck.

Like an itch that can't be scratched. [Newt idly agrees. It's already kind of bothering him now, but he imagines it's the distance.

He wonders if being closer without being able to interact would be just as frustrating though.] It'll be a few days. Please do your best to endure for the time being. [His tone is apologetic.]

We'll be okay, Hiccup. [He means them two, but perhaps the group now stuck in Dorchacht.] I'll keep in touch somehow. Do travel safely.

[thisisamazing]

Yeah. Just like that. [He echoes, though to him, it feels more like phantom limb syndrome; something that should be there is just... not. Like he can still feel what's missing as an ache.]

You- you too. Stay safe. Call me if you- if you get in too deep. [Toothless would be able to get him out quickly, Hiccup thinks.] We'll be okay.

[newtralize]

Yes. We'll be fine. Take care, Hiccup.
