[[Yes. There's a picture of a rock here. Smooth, contoured, big enough to fit in the palm of a scrawny teenager's hand. Not that anyone else would see this on their end, anyway.]]

"Uuuh...okay. I'm still talking to a rock. Yup! Because I must be crazy..." [An awkward laugh easily becomes a pathetic sigh.] "This is stupid. How does this even- " [*DOOT*]

[summing_it_up]

Yeah, you really do fit the requirements.

[Don't mind the wistful Hiccup-ness of that sentence. He does perk up.]

Hey. The more saved, the better.

[Voice]

[axetrid]

I know. I am the most Viking out of the Hairy Hooligans, after all.

It might take a little bit, but I was thinking that if we save up enough and we're smart about it, we can get our own apartment eventually. That way I don't keep ruining Snow's...

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

It's a nice thought. I mean, it'll take a while, sure, but. Yeah. An apartment would be good.

Well, it's not like Snow said anything about the damages lately, right? They weren't that bad...

[Voice]

[axetrid]

It would be good. I think our parents would be proud too, that we'd be able to support ourselves. But, we're not there yet. We will be though, just not yet.

...I drenched the entire bathroom. The only reason other disasters haven't happened yet is because you've stuck signs everywhere telling me not to touch this or that. _{[Which were pretty annoying if she were going to be honest.]}

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Well, okay, so there was that. I-it was easy to clean up, though! And I was taking some precautions just in case, you know?

[Voice]

[axetrid]

The whole kitchen is yellow thanks to your signs.

Someone's going to have to teach me how to use the things in there eventually.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

That was the only color that was available at the time.

And don't worry, we'll. We'll get to that.

[Voice]

[axetrid]

Promise?

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Promise.

[Voice]

[axetrid]

Well...good then.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Yeah.

Um. I'll see you later, okay?

[Voice]

[axetrid]

Of course. Maybe we can do something later.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Okay. Sure.

[Voice]

[axetrid]

I was thinking we could go down to the shoreline. I've never really been there yet. I'll beat you at skipping stones too.

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Really? Well, since the weather's slowly getting better, it'd be a good time to go there. And, yeah, you probably would.

[Voice]

[axetrid]

C'mon Hiccup, where's your Viking spirit? Don't just agree with me all the time. Where's the challenge or fun in that?

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

I left it at home.

Okay, fine. We'll see about that.

[Voice]

[axetrid]

Lock it away in that scrawny chest of yours, or at least your big head. You need it to survive.

Maybe you'd feel more motivated about actually winning if there were stakes in place?

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

And thank you for that.

I've just been busy, that's all. But maybe that would make it a bit more interesting.

[Voice]

[axetrid]

No problem.

Well, I'm going to become busy rather soon too. So we should make the most of our time, right? That said, name your stakes Hiccup. If you win, what do you want?

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

You've got a point. Okay! Fine, fine. We'll do this. Now...what would I want...

[A minute passes.]

Ah! Got it. If I win, your doing my share of chores for a week.

[Voice]

[axetrid]

Chores? Really? That's what you want from me if you win?

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

Yeah. Why not? Unless you had something better in mind?

[Voice]

[axetrid]

I was going to say I'd let you hold my hand while I walk with you to work, but I guess chores are better, huh.

Oh well.

Now, what do I want?

[Voice]

[summing_it_up]

-What.

Wait, really?!
