[ smacked with blue. that actually catches him majorly off-guard, and both dragon and dragon rider recoil back a tad. hiccup's hand goes up to his face, and toothless's tail makes a mighty loud splash in the ink as he moves it quickly in surprise.
that was unfair. ]
Jack, that was. Did you just--
[ he shouldn't have mentioned the shooting. now he's got a blue face, and-- he should've kept the mask on, he knew it.
but beyond that, the rest of what jack does is just. hm. at least hiccup doesn't have to pull some sneaky escape manoeuvre here... not that he has it in him to be stealthy, with what mister frosty says. does. and before he can even say something in return, jack's already diving into the ink. hiccup's left to blink, look down at toothless, whom looks up with curious green eyes rimmed in blue. ]
Did I say something weird? How do I even respond to-- [ in return: a tilt of the head, the night fury's rendition of a shrug. HE'S SO LOST.
... a pause. ]
Astrid was right, bud. Red is your color.
[ ha. ha ha. with that out of the way... a soft touch to toothless' head begins their move to take jack's lead, as they dive into the green ink around them.
they return to the surface a short distance away, wings splashing a great deal of green on blue as they emerge (punctuated with a muttered "that is still weird" from the rider). next thing on the agenda: catch jack. second: ask him what the heck was with that. third: ... well, actually, maybe he should just see if he can try and find jack, instead of getting ahead of himself.
hiccup supposes the best way to catch jack would be.... in his words, actually playing the game.
so, he takes it upon himself to use toothless's tail as a kind of makeshift roller, painting over blue with green quite quickly, making sure to avoid any shots fired at both of them and knocking any other blue players they come across into the ink with a quick flick of the tail. jack can't hide in the goop if there's none of his team's goop to hide in. the plan: make absolutely everything green. jack'd have to show up eventually, and he would be much less slippery with less blue to use.
crazy ax-wielding..... crazy ax-wielding how do you even do that-- ]
