Characters: Hiccup and Astrid
"Hiccup, I think we're lost."
Astrid banked Stormfly hard to the left and sort of circled Hiccup and Toothless, shading her eyes to scan through the smazy fog that clung to the air above the water.
"None of these rock formations look familiar," she said, a little worried. "Are any of them on your maps?"
She enjoyed these flights of fancy, as it were, with Hiccup, but she didn't so much like getting lost, especially when the sun wouldn't be up but a few more hours. She was confident the dragons would be able to get back to Berk--they had a pretty reliable sense of direction, it seemed--but she wasn't too keen on the idea of being somewhere unfamiliar and so far from home after dark.

Astrid was obviously taken with this place, though. It was hard to say no, and she had a point about being rained on. Zapping probably wouldn't happen if they were in a couple feet, but the wind would carry the rain. Why couldn't caves come with built-in corners?
Another boom of thunder shook Hiccup more than the cave, which was obviously sturdy enough to withstand it. "Yeeeah, okay. It'll be warmer in here for sure. And wet dragon really isn't something I want to deal with right now." Hiccup glanced at Toothless, who blinked back curiously. The dragon didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with shaking off water right next to people trying to stay dry.
"I brought a spare torch. We can just... move in a circle around this part of the cave, so no one gets lost." Even though it was hard to lose a dragon of several stones, he wasn't about to stretch his luck. Especially in the dark.
