"It's probably more likely that you'd run into one of the Pack," Hiccup agreed. He tried to give them space though, since they were a well respected, well regarded family in the community. The last thing he wanted was to upset or disrespect them. "And they do understand. Toothless and Stormfly do, to some extent. Not in the same way, but enough." He talked to the animals at the shelter all the time, so he definitely didn't think any less of her for it.
"Hiccup, and that's Toothless and that's Stormfly." He gestured to each of them in turn as he introduced them. "They are." A beat and then, "Dragons I mean. And friendly, too." More so now that they'd spent a good amount of time in Madison Valley. There weren't many dangers lurking in strangers these days, and they knew how to spot the more deadly of people. Rey didn't seem very much like the sort who killed indiscriminately.
He sort of jerked his head a bit to Toothless, who took a step forward toward her. "Just put your hand up, and let him come to you, if you want." Toothless stopped a few feet away from her and sat on his haunches, waiting to see if she'd put her hand out or not. If she did, he'd walk toward her to sniff her and then put his nose against her hand.
