[Hiccup is awoken by the sensation of a beak through his hair. He blearily sits up, staring at the Noctowl in a long moment of incomprehension before speaking.]

Laila...? Mnwhat are you doing here?

[Maybe this was a wake-up call from Ziva. The viking drags himself up, tugging the thick, fur-trimmed boots on before plodding down the hall to the woman's room. Which was empty.]

That's strange...

[He heads back to his own room to call her on the gear, but finds that that doesn't exactly work. At all. Hiccup sinks onto the bed, hand settling against Laila's cheek as she hoots low and nuzzles closer.]

...Guess I'm on my own.

[When Hiccup starts the feed up, the Noctowl is still hanging around him. Only now, her chin is resting on top of the boy's head.]

Ziva David has gone home, too. I have Laila, but I haven't been able to find the rest of her team at all... I hope they're alright.

[He takes a deep breath. Time for more stepping out of his comfort zone.]

So what's a good job for a kid who's not so great with this modern technology stuff?

[Hiccup nods, but it's more to himself than anything.]

...She can handle herself.

[ZIVA WAS TOUGH ENOUGH TO BE A VIKING, OKAY.]

Yeah. I mean. If she could handle herself here, then back home she'd be even more prepared, right?

[Stop talking Mickey, this kind of thing does not end well for you.]

...So when are you from? If you don't mind my asking.

[Because any subject is better than the current one, at this point.]

[Basically.]

The past, I guess. That's what people tell me.

[Wow, Hiccup. So helpful.]

...I'm a viking.

...Yeah, pretty far in the past then.

[Well, probably. He wouldn't be TOO surprised if there was a Planet Of The Vikings somewhere.]

...or the rest of us are from the future. Dunno 'when' this place is, relative to home...

I wonder why it's all so complicated.

...Or why this place needs so many people with different backgrounds.

Complicated is a bunch of doors leading from one place to different times. This place just seems kind of weird.

...You think there's something actually controlling this?

...Why would doors do that?

[Hiccup gives Mickey a quizzical look before shrugging.]

A lot of people seem to think so. I don't see why not.

If I remember right, it was cause of a bunch of long words that just meant "advanced science stuff".

[Science-stuff controlled by slightly psychotic clockwork robots.]

I dunno, what would anyone get out of this?

[Oh, science. ...Hiccup didn't really know that much about science.]

Nothing I could think of... But maybe it's entertaining to see us all run around confused?
