Thorn watched Hiccup approach the Scauldron. The dragon watched the boy before pulling its head out of his reach and looking over his head at the place Thorn was hidden. Slowly, the dragon went around Hiccup, and pulled Thorn from his spot. Not having any choice, Thorn stood beside his dragon, stroking its side and keeping his sword drawn. The Scauldron lowered its head and layed it beside Thorn allowing him to stroke it. Thorn did so, not sure what to make of this boy.
