[ it isn't like hiccup ever comes into these kinds of things expecting anything besides the unexpected--he's learned his lesson by now--but. well. this is... something else. considering the last time he was here he ended up diving into a trap, this is both an unwelcome and welcome change of pace. welcome because he's not in an elevator shaft, unwelcome because it makes things feel more unsettling, somehow.
behind him toothless bristles just the slightest, the dragon's protective instincts are triggered by the... everything in this place. excuse him as he groans just a little, ear-fins lowering tentatively against his head. even he knows just blasting open the door isn't a good idea this early on. ]
My resolve is crumbling in the face of that very convincing and threatening sign, actually.
[ serious words from hiccup, except not really. tadashi's insistence on going first is met with a raised brow, though the offer isn't entirely unexpected. he's not going to argue that, however, even if he'd like to. in the end-- ]

It'll get harder from here.
