[ it's easy enough to see toothless understands what's going to happen. with the sword's appearance, he doesn't bristle, nor does he hesitate with the fire. instead, there's a bit of a ducked head, eyes glancing over at hirari and mars before he moves, making his wounds more easily accessible with a low groan.
there's a small, gentle sound too that might be taken for gratitude and trust. there's nothing more trusting than showing your underbelly to a sword, really. mars and hirari are without a doubt on toothless' good list now.
... even when the pain comes, as promised. toothless takes it all well enough; there are various sharp sounds of pain, he makes sure not to thrash and risk hurting hirari. at the end of it all he adjusts again, holding back his trembling, moving to stand on all fours with slightly shaky breath.
still, his eyes are wide and moving between hirari and mars. when he can find the strength, he slowly approaches to give them both a nudge on the hand--a very deep, implied thank you. ]
