Hiccup layed there, feeling smaller than he ever thought he could, when he heard the sliding door open, though it was almost silent. Hiccup sighed, assuming that one of the three people came back "what do you want"?
He was greeted with a new face "a few questions if, I may"
"GAHH"!
"Sorry for the surprise" the newcomer spoke, backing away from the bed.
"How did you get in here"?!
"The balcony door was unlocked, and I have Cherril with me" she spoke, patting the changewing next to her. She herself seemed to be wearing a suit with changewing scales, he could tell because his legs were now appearing after her torso was floating a second ago.
Hiccup was on edge at first, but it lessened as she merely pulled out a pad of paper and a writing tool. He sat there, wondering what to do. She seemed nice enough "I'll answer a few of your questions, if you tell me how your suit works".
Her nervous smile turned into a genuine one "yes! I mean deal".
"You first".
"Of course" she got in closer "you see, changewing scales bend light around them, allowing them to go invisible, so whenever Cherril would shed her scales I'd collect them, then I sewed them to this suit" she then turned around "the suit is laced with various wires, which allows the electricity stored in this battery pack and the slight electricity jolts the scales and gives the same effect as if they were on a changewing".
"Amazing" he'd like to ask how the battery works, but he thought best not to ask.
"Your turn, how are you liking the future so far" she asked, turning around? Hiccup gave a sigh "that bad".
"No, it's great, wonderful even, but I just learned how big the world is, I hoped to see all kinds of dragons, bring everyone together with dragons, how can I do that when the world is so big"?
She put away her note pad and pen, and sat beside the moping Hiccup "did you really think you could unite the whole world in your lifetime. What you need to do is do the best you can do, so that you leave a legacy that everyone wants to beat".
"Wouldn't that discourage other people from trying"?
"It'll discourage some people, but for those who really want it, they will go far beyond what you did and inspire others to do the same" she exclaimed, standing in a dramatic pose. She calmed down soon after "sorry, sometimes I get carried away, but what I'm trying to say is never assume you're going to be the best forever, but be the best while you're alive".
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind" Hiccup spoke in a more upbeat tone.
"Great, now can we continue with the interview"?
