[The fact that Astrid was suspicious of Carmen probably shouldn't have come as a surprise to the viking... She had always been a little standoffish until she familiarized herself with something, and being in an entirely new world when this extremely helpful travel companion of Hiccup's shows up probably didn't make it any easier. Still, he was so used to Carmen that the idea of her being a suspicious character was a little amusing.]

She'll come around.

[He glances up at the 'gear when he sees her video moving and chuckles at the implication.]

No, of course not. I don't even know if he's good at swimming. [Hmmn... Hiccup's own name wasn't hard to figure out--part of it was following through with family tradition, yes, but the name had certainly been fitting for the small child he was. Astrid had always been uncommonly beautiful, for a viking. What about Fishlegs...] Fish are a main source of food for us, so maybe he had really meaty legs? Other than it maybe being a family name, that's the best guess I've got.

[All this talking sure is making the hatching go by faster. Hurray for taking his mind off the urge to squeal like an excitable girl!]
