[So, crowded tables, lots of food, lots of talking... It's a lot to take in. Still rather stunned by it all, Hiccup's been sort of keeping to himself, just sitting quietly and eating--definitely eating, he is a Viking after all, even if he's...scrawny. Essentially, just trying to blend in while taking in his surroundings.

Surroundings, including people. She's a few seats down from him, not far at all, and okay, maybe he's kind of observing her. But he's observing everyone else around them, too! It's just...there's something weird there. Sometimes when he looks over, her plate is full of food, and then when he looks back, it's all just...gone. After a while, he starts peering at her plate more often, checking on its status with more interest than is probably necessary, until he finally gets curious enough that he has to bring it up.]

So are you just really hungry, or are you hiding that food somewhere?

[His eyebrows raising, he looks down at the edge of her side of the table, like he might be able to see where she's slipped it all away, or if there's some animal down there she might be feeding.

...And then he realizes that might sound sort of rude. Backpedalling, he raises his hands off the table in a sort of apologetic manner.]

Er-- You know, it's just that everything I've seen on your plate just seems to vanish in seconds. Which is. ...Kind of weird.
