[Is this thing--? But how? How does something like this thing end up looking as helpless as the rest of them? People, sure--people are going to get eaten. There's no running from that fact. People here are the food, the bait, the bowling pins ready to be knocked down. But something like Toothless that's straight out of a fairytale shouldn't look like it's struggling to get by like the people are.
It's almost unfair. Black-and-white is simpler than this. Threats here, threats there, threats everywhere--Adam's had a crash course in not trusting anybody, and he can deal with that. After a day and night of sleeplessness and adrenaline overload, he doesn't want to have to feel bad for some monster just because it hasn't decided to turn on him quite yet.
Cursing under his breath, Adam hazards a glance over his shoulder, breath catching at the sight of a staggering figure in the distance. He grabs the nearest tree, pushing past it for support and starts to move west, cutting a path between zombie and dragon.]
Go! Go on, go! If they want meat, they'll go after you, too! You better get!
[Don't say he didn't try to warn you, dragon. A swarm of them attacking Toothless is a sight he doesn't want to witness.]
