[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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Hmn... What does a waiter do?

[One might think that he's kidding, but by the blank look on his face, he's very clearly not.]

[Wow, what kind of place did this kid come from?]

Well. A waiter...works at a restaurant and serves tables.

[A place with ice and dragons. That's it.]

Oh, them.

[Yeah, there were a few waiters that probably didn't like him, thanks to Toothless's eating habits while he'd been there.]

What if I'm kind of known for, uh, being kind of clumsy and useless?

How exactly did you survive this long in this world without a job, anyway?

[...Good question.]

I woke up in Goldenrod after that weird weekend nobody can remember, which was right around when I got here. And I had...help. Ziva was kind of taking care of me while she was here.

[A freeloader. Oh, dear.]

Goldenrod, eh? You still there?

[H-hey, it's not his fault that he's basically worthless...]

Yeah. But I was thinking of heading out, soon. I'd like to get Fly, eventually.

[But to travel, he needs money, and so here we are.]

Well, there's plenty of employment opportunities in Goldenrod! Have you been to the department store?

That's...the really big building, right?

The one with the sign in front that reads "GOLDENROD DEPARTMENT STORE?" Yeah, sounds about right.

Sort of, then. I only went up one floor.

[He likes heights and everything, but city buildings are weird.]

Well, you might try looking in there for employment. I'd imagine a building of that size is always hiring.

Huh, that makes sense.

[Hiccup nods after a moment.]

Alright. I'll ask around there for a job tomorrow.
