[Today, it's the sprints that are starting to kill him.

While he was able to keep up for the first few laps, he started slowing down long enough to have Raph pass him a number of times. Wheezing, he leans against the mast, nearly hugging onto it to keep himself upright.]

...Oh gods...no more...

[mostattitude]

[Slows to a jog as he comes up behind him.]

What, done already?

[He's kidding...mostly. There's a grin on his face, though, as he draws to a stop and props his hands on the sides of his shell.]

Not bad, dude, not bad. How's your leg holding up?

[summing_it_up]

Maybe.

[He's letting that slide. Mostly. Catching more of his breath, Hiccup glances down at his prosthetic.]

It's okay. It doesn't feel as raw as it did the other time we did this.

[mostattitude]

[Nods.]

Good. Probably a break's a good idea, though, you don't want to do too much too soon. You'll just injure yourself.

[summing_it_up]

Yyyeah, that would be bad.

You don't mind? I know it's not much to just sit there and watch...

[mostattitude]

Hey, I meant a break from running, dude. We can still do arm work.

[He goes over to the small pile of weights and such that he's collected in the short amount of time they've been in this world, picking out something Hiccup can use.]

Here. These should be alright.

[They look a little pathetic, but, well. Toothpick arms.]

[summing_it_up]

Aahdang.

[These toothpick arms can lift a sword high enough for sharpening! Still, the light weights cause the Viking to audibly/physically "oof."

Now that's sad.]

[mostattitude]

[Just grins at that.]

Come on. [Picks up his own set of weights.] Reps. Ten on each arm, then rest in between.

[summing_it_up]

Okay, okay.

[Can't complain now. Those little willow arms need some work. He starts...doing this a little slower than he should.]

[mostattitude]

[It's okay, slow is good! Especially when weight training. Raph keeps a close eye on him, making sure his form is good and all that.]

You've really never done anything like this before?

[summing_it_up]

No, not really – unless I was tending to weapons. But even then I wasn't really doing much with it.

[mostattitude]

[Finishes on one arm and moves to the other.]

Oh yeah, didn't you say you could make weapons and stuff?

[summing_it_up]

Yeah. [A few more reps.] Well, Gobber was the one doing most of the work since he's the master smith. I sort of got carried away with some projects on the side, though.

[mostattitude]

Have you gotten with Donnie yet? I bet you two could come up with some awesome stuff.

[Pause.]

...Don't tell him I said that. [CAN'T HAVE HIM KNOWING RAPH JUST SORT OF COMPLIMENTED HIM.] But projects on the side are kind of his thing.

[summing_it_up]

Not yet. I barely even see him outside of the lab. Looks like I'll have to go later...

[Hiccup tries to suppress a laugh, but it's proves difficult.]

Oh, why not? Isn't it nice to hear things like that, being a brother to your brother and all?

[mostattitude]

[Scoffs and waves him off, weight still in hand.]

No. Only when he comes up with something that's REALLY cool, like Shellraiser. Then I might consider telling him he's awesome.

[summing_it_up]

Oh, okay then.

[He really doesn't get the sibling thing. But his curiosity is piqued.]

What exactly is the "Shellraiser"?

[mostattitude]

[Actually looks excited as he goes to answer the question.]

It's our ride, man! Donnie converted this old subway car and added all sorts of weapons and stuff -- it even shoots sewer lids!

[summing_it_up]

Oh! That's really convenient. Maybe even a little impractical, but if it gets the job done...

[Despite the afterthought, he still looks really interested.]

[mostattitude]

It also has a trash gun thing. I bet we could add something like that to the ship. [Turns thoughtful.] It'd beat having to find somewhere to keep garbage and stuff.

[summing_it_up]

Like a mini-catapult? [For garbage? Considering there's enough of them to make that much of a mess...] I'd say. It'd be put to good use.

We do need more weapons on board here. Long-range ones. While it's good to have Toothless on-hand for that, I don't wanna tire him out.

[mostattitude]

Uhhh yeah! Kind of. Guns have more power than catapults, I guess -- maybe.

[He has no idea.]

It would work for long-range attacks, though. I'll have to mention it to him.

[summing_it_up]

[They can always test that out. It's fun.]

All right. Cool.

[Crazy modern world vocabulary terminology.]
