Hey everybody, this is- uh, this is Hiccup. [That nasally voice sounds bright today, but like he's not entirely used to talking over these watches. It still feels like he's chatting to an inanimate object somehow, even though he knows other people will be able to hear this, because he hasn't used it much up to this date.] I think I'm starting to get used to being here, sort of. It's been an adjustment. And, you know, everything seems fine a lot of the time, but I'm sure we've all figured out from those dreams by now that- that this world is dangerous, too.

So, uh, I wanted to make an offer. I'm a blacksmith back home, and I finally finished setting up my forge. It's- you know, it's not fancy, but it's good enough to start working in. If anybody wants to bring scrap metal by, I'd be happy to make things out of it for you, no charge. Well, no charge unless I have to buy other materials. Weapons, armor, household objects, just about anything. I know a few things about leatherworking and general construction, too, and I can fireproof anything you'd like, but I have to charge for that because of what it involves.

And, hey, if any other smiths or crafters want to come by and borrow the space, that's great too.

My forge is right next to Keith's and my house just past the slums, barely into the woods, we call it Wilder's Edge- or, I call it Wilder's Edge, he wanted to just call it "Keith's and Hiccup's shack in the woods" but that's way too long to put on a map- [Can you hear the excessive hand gesturing in this speech?] -but anyway! If you don't want to come out this far by yourself, I can pick you up from the city, it's not a problem!

You know you sound like a kids' show PSA, right? [ Not that Hiccup knows about television, or what a PSA is. But whatever, the point still stands. Keith chuckles though, and definitely doesn't mean it as an insult. It's good for Keith, honestly. Better than just... being a total hermit.

Glancing towards where Hiccup called out to Toothless, Keith's own laughter became stronger, firmer. Grin bright as he moved into the forge to clap a hand on the other's shoulder, rolling his eyes as he grinned.

Remind me to sleep with one eye open, I don't want him to take one of my limbs in my sleep. [ He grinned, shaking his head as his hand dropped away. ]
