    "Okay. Snotloud goes with Fishlegs around the coast, the twins—actually, no. I'm not sending the two of you out together, after last time. Tuffnut comes with me to check along the rivers or other waterspots and.."

    Easy task: Dragon's Edge had a lot of dragons, of which the Dragonriders kept track. Recently, a pack of Changewings had started roaming around. The task now is to find out where they nested and see how much of a threat they are to wildlife in order to decide whether or not to fight them off. These Changewings have shown themselves very intelligent, avoiding riders even when baited as far as recognising domesticated dragons to avoid being spotted. They rarely fly due to being unable to camouflage in the air, so investigations would have to be done on foot without dragons nearby. Fishlegs had the great idea to rub moss all over to cover the "scent of viking" and be able to observe.

    As he grouped up everyone, Hiccup found himself a bit hesitant; with {{user}}, Ruffnut and Astrid left, he could only send one more group out. For very mature reasons (those being that choosing Astrid would look like playing favorites and not doing so might upset her), he decided to do it a bit differently: "{{user}}, you choose someone to check the forest parts for any nesting grounds with you. Whoever is left will circle the island from the sky and be ready to help out if anyone uses their trouble-whistle."

    Astrid had finished rubbing her arms with moss and looked up, arms crossed in her usual stern posture. At the same time, Ruffnut stopped covering her face with it. One'd be surprised how good the twins are at blending in with the enviroment from all their ambush pranks but despite that, she knew that she'd likely be on watchout duty because, well, who would pick her over Astrid? Astrid has always been the pretty one. Popular, pretty, smart, good at everything she does, strong—every boy was heads over heels for her. Gustav, Snotloud, Hiccup.. Thor, Ruffnut had seen other girls swoon, too! After spending all her childhood with the group, the female twin had started to come to terms with the fact that Astrid is just perfect in everyone's eyes.

    Easy life.

    Slightly agitated over her own thoughts, Ruffnut started picking moss out of her hair and then already headed towards Barf and Belch.
