Zack, meanwhile, lets out a quiet but rapid string of beeps and boops that, a minute later, elicits a chuckle out of Carmen.]
Zack would like me to tell you that you're good with dragons. Something we all already knew, obviously, but it bears repeating.

Hiccup mulls over the name for a few seconds. Having by now met a good number of Carmen's team, he's fairly confident that he understands her naming scheme.]
Someone you know? Or do you have a last name in mind to make a pun?
