[Yes, he fails at filters.]

General question for all of you. What would you-...

[No, that's not a good idea. He doesn't need that, she has told him several times, right? She likes books, which means a book is probably the best gift, he doesn't need to ask what to give her. A book will do. She also liked the plushies he gave her before so there's that, maybe he can get a teddy bear for her on top of it, since if she loves books that much she probably has read a lot of them.

Then again, maybe that only applies to the ones in her world, and there are way too many books in the world to read them all anyway. Yes, that sounds like a good question. He clears his throat a bit.]

Book recommendations. Anyone knows of interesting books to read? Novels, tales, science, any theme will do.

[She probably will enjoy it either way so... Should he ask that it won't be too complicated? No, even if she reads them to him as well he can ask if he doesn't get something. It's a gift just for her after all.]

Exactly. The title itself even comes from a poem that's present through the whole story--it's pretty cool how it's all tied together, actually. But--I won't spoil it.

Yes, that would be spoiling it. I was just asking if at the end there was no one left, not where it comes from.

[Chuckles.]

Ahh--right. There is, but...you won't think there is. To put it vaguely.

That sounds interesting. I'll pick this one for sure then.

Great! I'm--uh--I'm glad I was able to help.

It was great help, thank you... What's your name?

Oh--[Derp. He always forgets this part.] My name's Hiccup. What's yours?

Phoenix Ikki. I may come to ask you again about books on a later date, Hiccup. Would you mind that?

Oh, absolutely! I'm always reading new things, so...I'm always happy to talk about books.

... Don't tell me that's all you do the whole day. From home to the library and back home again.

Oh--well, heh. That's not all I do. I go to school, work at the smithy, hang out with my dragon...oh, I'm the SOS Brigade, too.

... Wait, you have a dragon?

Oh--yeah. I do. He's black--kind of looks like a cat? [He may have been spotted on the roof of house nine where Toothless often roosts.]

[Yeah, it sounds like something he has seen but since it never attacked anyone Ikki didn't pay much attention to the creature.]

Like a cat... Is he from your world?

Yeah, he is. He's my best friend, actually. But he doesn't have the wings like the rest of us.

My pet doesn't have them either. Guess for the Malnosso he's more your pet than your friend.

Heh, yeah. [Toothless wouldn't like to hear that, but it's true.] What kind of pet do you have?

An arctic wolf, he's little over one year old, still a puppy. He lost his last puppy tooth a few months ago.

[Oh, whoa, a wolf?]

That's amazing! I didn't realize you could train a wolf. Er--then again, I bet most people don't think you can train a dragon, either.

[Still a puppy though.]

I'm pretty sure you can train anything that has enough brain to learn, which excludes only a few insects. But I'm not training him, he doesn't do tricks or anything like that. I want to try to teach him how to hunt by himself and all for when I leave and he's left alone though.

...Did you meet him here, then?

Yes, I got him from a statue the Malnosso put in the square a year ago. I suppose he was my Christmas gift. Figures they would think that living beings are gifts.

Yeah, that's kind of...odd. [He tries to imagine someone giving a person a dragon as a gift--he doubts creatures so proud would even stand for it.] But I guess that's the Malnosso for you. Odd.

I suppose that when you keep hundreds of people trapped in a place and experiment on them and use them for your own entertainment, you fail to see a difference between them and objects. More than odd I would call them irresponsible.

[The 'own entertainment' thing seems especially true after the recent love experiment, even if Hiccup flew under the radar for that.] They're...well, hard to understand, to say the least. The drafts and experiments are bad, but there are a lot of good things about this place, too.
