( ✈ FOURTH FLIGHT; VIDEO — BOTH COURTS )

[smithwork]

[ A bedroom beneath the Station. One of the larger ones, given Toothless is there with his head tentatively on the bed taken up by the limp figure of Jack Frost; dark blood looks like it's been cleaned up as best it can, smears remaining on one of Jack's legs around a nasty wound.

Specks of the same old blood can be seen on Hiccup's cheek amongst his freckles when he leans into view. ]

I've heard of people falling asleep for extended periods of time before, but do they often ... go through accidents while they sleep? I, I'm not explaining this very well. Sort of, like they might be getting injured somehow, but they're haven't moved? [ Dressed down for the broadcast in a red hoodie and layered green tshirts, Toothless has similarly had his saddle placed in a corner with Hiccup's armour. They've been here long enough to get into a routine. ] He's also a little dead, but he was that way before. It's more noticeable now since he isn't moving. Or breathing. Also, his clothes changed this one time? Gah!

[ Face-palming in frustration, Hiccup rakes back his hair. ]

See, I don't even know if I need a healer because all his wounds are re-knitting despite the fact he just keeps getting more. I'm not some magical undead warlock, wound-healing, mystical wardrobe stylist. If anybody could shed some light on what's going on, I'd appreciate it — Yeah, bud, what is it?

[ Glancing over his shoulder when the Night Fury whines in distress, Hiccup drops the locket upon seeing a dark bruise spread over their unconscious friend's jaw. ]

Jack —!




( ooc: so arisa is on hiatus for her fancy cruise and jack is being canon updated!! as a sidenote on her behalf, he's going through around 300+ years of accidents and junk as he matures/becomes a pro at what he does, so there are plenty of bruises/fractures/breaks to be seen in the first few days of his enchanted sleep. feel free to notice the signs! c: )

[ His eyes widen as he pays attention, drinking down every word in earnest. ]

Was she hurt while she slept? I'm — I'm sorry to ask, I ... don't know what I'm doing. Should I find a healer? [ Seeking direction, he'll clearly do whatever he's told. ] Can he feel the bruises? It looks like he hit something on one side of his body but he hasn't moved, I've been here the whole time.

She was. [Which is why this video is on private; she doesn't want to spread Celebrían's business all over the network.] It was much as you said- her wounds appeared and healed without any aid.

[She hesitates before continuing.] My daughter arrived here from a time far in my past. When I saw her injuries, I knew precisely what had caused them, for I had seen them before.

I cannot know with certainty, but I would suspect when your friend awakens he will, like my daughter, have memories of the events which caused his injuries and of their healing.

[ Hiccup pulls a face without meaning to, glancing between Jack and Galadriel with something like trepidation. When he speaks, his voice is a little hoarser. ]

He's going through a lot ... every single hour. [ Here, he shakes his head as if to say What am I supposed to do? ] I can't think what's worse; that he's going through one big, terrible event in his life, or ... that much separately.

[She shakes her head, her brow furrowing.] Would that I could give you some greater comfort. I know of nothing to do beyond staying at his side.

You are not alone, I hope? When was it you last ate? [And if you think she's asking because she neglected eating when she was in his position? You'd be right. Don't be her, Hiccup. You are mortal and more squishy.]

I eat whenever I'm hungry, it's not often but ... I'm fine, and I have someone helping out. Merida is Jack's friend too.

[ He thinks he ate yesterday, since he definitely had water all of today. As if on cue, his stomach gurgles and he offers a wan, chagrined smile. ]

I'll get to that later. Right now I'd rather stay where I am — he wouldn't have left me, if our positions were reversed.

I understand. But you must remember that you will be of no use to him if you do not attend to your own needs as well. [But that's as much as she's going to do as far as nagging, don't worry.]

[ He chuckles, a little abashed. ]

I will. Thank you ... for caring.

[A soft smile] You need never thank me for that.
