[It's nice and quiet in the halls, much nicer than the crowded, noisy great hall where the feast is no doubt still going down. Sort of what he needs right now, just some time to take in his new surroundings that he's going to be stuck in for the next...who even knows how long, and to...think a little. And maybe find himself worrying a bit more the further he walks. What if he never gets to go back to Berk? What if he never gets to see his dad again, or his friends? Or Toothless for that matter? What would happen to him if he's not there?
It's all greatly concerning, weighing more and more heavily on his shoulders the longer he thinks about it, the less time he has to spend focusing on this whole fairy war and how he apparently needs to be part of it. Wow, maybe he should have stayed where all the noise was...
He's even considering going back until he hears a familiar voice calling his name. Head whipping up, eyes off the floor and coming to rest on the owner of the voice, he stares.]
Astrid. [It's almost whispered, just spoken on a breath, like he's not really sure she's there. Then he blinks, straightens, and snaps out of it.] Astrid?! You're here too?
[Oh, thank the gods. He's not completely alone after all! He almost wants to hurry forward and hug her with all this relief. But, uh. He refrains. Not really looking for a punch here, thanks.]
