Home- Next morning
Zephyr runs down the stairs to the dining room/kitchen. Hiccup and Astrid are sitting down, eating breakfast.
HICCUP: Good morning Zephyr!
Zephyr: (slides into her chair) Morning!
ASTRID: Want some breakfast?
Astrid gets up and walks to the pot over the fireplace. She scoops Zephyr a bowl of porridge.
ZEPHYR: Sure... I guess. (clears throat) So, um, dad... I was wondering if I could go to the forest... today.
HICCUP: The forest?
ZEPHYR: Yeah....
Astrid sets the bowl in front of Zephyr.
ASTRID: Who would go with you?
Zephyr: Oh, well... you see... I was thinking... maybe I could go by myself?
ASTRID: By yourself???
ZEPHYR: Yeah, well, I mean, I did it the other day—
Zephyr stops. Astrid's eyes widen.
ASTRID: You went, to the forest? By yourself?
ZEPHYR: (sheepishly) Yep... sorry mom.
ASTRID: What were you doing in the forest all alone?
ZEPHYR: Oh, well, I was taking a walk to, uhhh, calm my frustration.... ?
Astrid glares at Hiccup. Hiccup slowly looks away from Astrid.
HICCUP: (clears throat) Why do you want to go to the forest?
ZEPHYR: Oh well, I thought I could go find the dagger I lost—
Astrid's eyes widen again.
ZEPHYR: Oh... yeah... sorry, mom.
Astrid sighs and sits down.
ASTRID: You lost your dagger? How?
ZEPHYR: Well, I kind of threw it at a tree in frustration... and I missed.
ASTRID: You threw it?
HICCUP: (interrupts) I thought you said you could make another one?
ZEPHYR: Yeah... well, I thought, why make another one when I can just go find the one I lost? I mean it's probably out there... somewhere.
Hiccup and Astrid look at each other.
ASTRID: (sighs) Next time you're angry, try not to throw your dagger. You might end up hurting someone in the future.
ZEPHYR: Okay.... So... can I go?
HICCUP: (looks at Astrid) Yes, you can go.
Zephyr jumps up, knocking down her chair.
ZEPHYR: (hugs Hiccup around the neck) Thank you dad! Thank you mom! Thank you!
Zephyr runs up the stairs.
HICCUP: Um, don't you want to finish your breakfast?
ZEPHYR: (calls down the stairs) No, I'm not hungry anymore!
Silence reigns. Astrid glares at Hiccup again.
HICCUP: (shrugs) What?
