@dragetunge asked: "There's a reason I slip out as often as I do." Atreus seemed like he could be trusted to not tell anyone where he went. "I'm looking for someone. A dwarf." Hiccup was nervous about it regardless in case someone else were to hear. "He's the one who apprenticed me. Everytime i get a little close he's gone." He had a hunch the other knew who it was he was looking for. It was a long shot but it was one he needed to know. (For atreus)
Unprompted // always accepting
Atreus sat on the wall of Asgard, high above the rest of the realm, one leg dangling over the edge. Now that he'd been granted leave to stay for a time, now that he was a guest, being up here didn't bother him as much. When Heimdall wasn't here, anyway; he was staying as far away from him as possible. He didn't like the way he looked at him, how he seemed almost able to see what Atreus--Loki, in Asgard, was thinking.
But right now, he and Hiccup were the only people up here. His friend had told him he had something to say, and he didn't exactly want to be around other people, and coming up here had made the most sense.
He listened as Hiccup said there was a reason he left Asgard as often as he did, the he was looking for someone. A dwarf, the one who had apprenticed him, something that gave Atreus pause. Brok and Sindri were the greatest blacksmiths he knew…; was it possible Hiccup could be talking about one of them?
"Yeah, dwarves can be tricky like that," he agrees with a little grin. "This dwarf who apprenticed you have a name? Maybe I've heard of him."
