Hiccup was glad that Erik just sat down on the stoop with him, though he didn't look up until he heard Stormfly moving. It was nice to see that she was bonding with the other man, which just solidified the contingency plans he was going to have to make now. Obviously it would include Erik, hopefully with his consent.
"She is. A lot. I mean, I get it from her. Obviously. And my dad-" Hiccup sighed and rolled his shoulders. His dad was dead. Toothless recognized his hesitation and nuzzled against him. "They had a little while together. That's what matters the most." Which made it fairly clear what had happened, just not the whole story. "Drago, he- he took control of Toothless." It was the first time he had to really reflect on what had happened. "He told Toothless to kill me, but my dad-" Hiccup hastily brushed away a few tears from his eyes. He wasn't so sure he could say it.
