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.

That obvious he's been worried? [Hiccup's distress pre-Bond was probably insanely obvious. A quiet laugh.] Okay. An IOU. It'll my treat, whatever we do. I- I owe you one. For agreeing to this.

[He gives him a smile as they start to head back toward the barracks, the backs of his knuckles just brushing Newt's.] Thank you. I feel... a lot better, now.

I wouldn't say it's obvious, but perhaps obvious to me. [Newt has always been good at noticing a change in behavior and he has seen Toothless enough to make a decent assessment.]

You don't owe me anything, Hiccup. As far as I'm concerned, this is a mutual agreement and it benefits us mutually. You have no need to feel indebted to me in anyway. [He offers the other a soft smile.] It works out for the both of us. I can't say that I've quite gotten along with others as I have with you.

You- you know us better than anybody here, I guess. [Him and Toothless. It makes sense since they spend time together relatively often, more often than Hiccup spends time with anyone else, save maybe Keith.]

I'm- glad you feel that way. I'd hate to have, uh, roped you into anything... [He seems a little embarrassed, a little tired, and a little young all at once, but also... like a weight has been lifted. The improvement was immediate. After a good night's sleep, maybe he'll even be feeling normal again.]

[Newt smiles a little and hesitantly gives a gentle pat on his shoulder.] Let's get back and get some rest. [There's no need for him to deny something so obvious. While apprehensive, he had agreed regardless. Newt doesn't make light of such decisions that were so intimate.]
