The taste of a Real and a Mirror, Toothless realizes, isn't all that different. If it is, it's subtle. He's half disappointed by this discovery, but he's not disappointed by the body language from Blaine. The Nightfury's half tempted to slam his flat head into the Viking again, but instead he just increases the pressure of his teeth for a moment before releasing him and roaring in his face.

A subtle grin, born of savage pleasure, curls his face for a moment after. He gives Blaine very little time to react to that before, with a growl and a snort, he takes off again, loping the opposite way down the corridor. He'll see this Real later, perhaps, or not — but either way, perhaps he can wreck his Real's shining reputation.
