[The sight that is revealed in the locket first appears to be a stranger, a seemingly unfamiliar brunette appearing within it. But there soon enough comes a large smile, one that's most definitely been seen by some around the Drabwurld, a signature grin that would normally belong to a certain mischievous winter spirit.

Except now, the spirit isn't a spirit at all, or he doesn't seem to be. Because sparkling blue eyes have now transformed into a simple chestnut color and pale skin has become naturally colored flesh. What once was a notable ice spirit has somehow become a human.]

So I decided to try a little makeover—you know—do the whole dull color trend, blend in with the scenery, that kind of thing.

[What he tries to portray as disinterest is easily betrayed by his widening smile, obviously revealing just how excited he is about this.]

What do you think? Does it suit me at all?

( ooc: his icons will still have his white hair, but he'll still be in his human form throughout comments / the change comes from his boon, a necklace that allows him to change into a human when he wears it )

You do.

[ There's no teasing when he tells him that, giving a gracious nod as he allows Jack their friendship as a buoy. Hiccup nods and chins a hand. ]

Try not to break too many hearts with those big brown puppy-dog eyes, bud.

[ One fear runs deeper than the rest; What if you died like a mortal? Where would you go? Would you become a spirit again? For that reason, Hiccup gives him all the support he needs, because he can't help feeling apprehensive about the days Jack will select to be human in the future. If one of them were to unexpectedly be his friend's last when so unarmed and he wasn't here to make it wonderful for him, to watch over him, he'd never forgive himself.

He's a blacksmith; it's not in his nature to trust magic one jot, especially not when gifted so generously to his friends. Maybe I'm just too suspicious, but then again I was dragged into this world in a sack. ]

Now you know I can't make any promises there.

[But his sly grin softens, because he knows Hiccup's still uneasy. Because he's spent enough time around him to know when something's bugging him. Plus, there's plenty of room for doubt when Jack had somehow managed to get a gift like this so easily. It had been the one thing he desired, especially now after learning about his death from the Black Shuck, yet it took almost no time at all for him to receive it.]

I'll be alright. [It's obvious what he refers to.]

I know. So, what's the general consensus on your new look?

Apparently, it's boring. I get it's not exactly all sparkles and frost, but I expected a little more courtesy. I mean, I'm sure I've still got the charm at least.

[ Chuckling. ]

You look a whole lot better than Snotlout, Fishlegs or Tuffnut ever have, which I'm sure they'd all agree on before jealously bitching about you like old women.

Don't know who they are, but I hope you're giving me some sort of compliment.

They've been my friends since I was fifteen, also dragon-riders.

Whoa, you had your own little posse?

[Well, since Hiccup is King Dragon Rider and all.]

Aha, no ... They didn't really like me much at all before I showed them how to train dragons. Which sounds terrible, but nobody really wanted to be around me much, back then. [ Wow, that does sound awful. ] I'm not being self-deprecating, that's the actual truth. Talking fishbone, etcetera, never where I should have been.

'Hiccup'.

[He's quiet for a moment before he gives a snort.]

Huh. Talk about bad judgement. Even I knew you were pretty decent even before you started bragging and showing off with your whole dragon thing.

Thank you for the compliment, yours always touch me the deepest.

I know. Doesn't it just give you that flutter in your stomach that you just can't handle? Your ego must be swollen with all the kind compliments I hand out.

I'm hanging up now so you can charm a whole country of Seelie to do your bidding and win the war single-handed.

You still have that rude streak of cutting me off, you know. Although I'm pretty sure I can probably accomplish that.

I'm not cutting you off, I have a life besides talking to you. Pardon me, allow me to completely reschedule myself according to the mighty Jokul Frosti's whims.

[ Slouching forward, he chins a hand and widens his eyes. ]

Go ahead, I'm all yours until dismissed.

A life. Come on, I know you better than anyone. What that means is letting Toothless slobber all over you before you two start rolling around together on the floor like a bunch of dogs. And you know it.

[Don't even try to deny that.]

[ Don't even try to deny you want Hiccup's attention, buddy!! ]

Actually, I was plotting a course to fly around the coasts, buuut you wouldn't be interested in anything like that while you're earthbound.

[!!!!]

Well, as it so happens, as I'm sure you're well aware, I can change back whenever I feel up to it, so—if you wanted me to tag along, that wouldn't be a problem.

No, no, don't let me interrupt your fun. I'm sure you won't miss out on much ... just testing out the black mists the sailors wrote about in Scima's library to see if they really do transport you to another side of the world, checking for dragonish or otherwise sea monsters, possibly passing over the crater where the Drabkeeper's castle used to be.

Y'know, boring stuff that doesn't match up at all to a fancy new hairstyle.

Oh, I don't know, all of that with just you and Toothless? No, you'll definitely need someone to look after you. And since I can fly, I guess I'm the only one who'd be capable of such a thing. So I'll just have to be the responsible, selfless friend and hop on the ride with you.

Wow, you're so good to me. How did I ever get anything done before I had you there to hold my hand?

Not sure, it's clearly a miracle that you managed. But now that you've got me here, you're sure one lucky guy.
