Hiccup felt terrible, but also completely embarrassed. He'd been wandering around a little bit, trying to practice what little conversational English he knew. It was mostly limited to greetings and basic conversation since that was what his lessons were focused on in these early stages. After successfully interacting with a few people, he felt confident enough to step into the store on the corer to try ordering something to drink. There was a long line, so it wasn't until he got closer to the front that he noticed the menu board on the wall in front of him, full of words that he didn't fully understand.
It was his turn, much sooner than he'd expected, and Hiccup swallowed audibly, nervous that he'd made a mistake. "Um. Hi. Coffee? Please?" It was stilted and his accent was heavy, which would no doubt give away that he didn't fully understand. The woman behind the counter asked him a question he didn't understand, so he just repeated what he wanted to order. "Coffee please," he said, a bit more confidently a request this time. She said something else to him, frowning, and Hiccup knew he'd made a mistake. "Sorry," he hastily apologized, and looked to the person behind him, panic written all over his face. "Sorry." He didn't know what to do.
