Toothless' eyes widen as he takes a step back. Pose?

Oh, sure, he's posed for Hiccup before. It's a good day for it. Of course, Toothless won't pose for that long, only because he doesn't quantify time in the way a viking — human — does. But as long as there's a crowd of puppies to sit with, Toothless will remain in the garden for a while.

His ears perk up as he rumbles again, settling down on his stomach. Immediately, a husky puppy leaps onto his back.
