The Story:

Toothless' stay in Wonderland had been a short one, before the place had begun to change on him. He'd been adjusting well with Hiccup at his side, no longer swarmed with anxiety, and, though he tried to stay with his friend to protect him, sometimes he went off on his own for a walk or two. Never for very long, but long enough to get more of the mansion and its grounds into his memory. The woods intrigue him, but he hasn't tried to fully explore them. Not yet, anyway.

And then, one morning, he wakes up with small fuzzy things all over him.

The Nightfury's smelled their kind before, at other viking villages, but older and louder. These are small, quiet and full of drool, seemingly determined to chew on him and his harness. At first, he's annoyed by it.

But then, after a few hours of adjustment, and a restless nap, the dragon realizes that what he's discovered is an endless fountain of other creatures to play with. Creatures who don't expect him to talk or communicate, only chase them and hold still while they climb all over him.

He notices almost nothing else but the puppies, wandering all over the mansion with a small entourage at his feet as the puppies try to figure out what kind of strange dog he is. Every so often, he lays down and rolls around with them, and chases one or two around, until they all wear each other down and take a nap. And then, upon waking, the dance begins again.

Toothless is more or less entirely occupied, and might have to be reminded to do more than eat and sleep. He certainly doesn't really notice any other changes that come with the puppies in question.

Al smiles and keeps scratching Toothless, at least until the puppies start butting their heads under Al's hand to get in on some of the attention. He laughs and spreads the love readily enough. "Well, altogether this isn't too bad of a first event for you, huh? Maybe some of these guys will stick around as playmates for you."

Hiccup's already objected to the idea of him keeping any of these puppies, but Toothless is rather taken with them. They're charming. And they don't breathe fire, like Terrible Terrors. Or fly. All of these mean that they're much more manageable than baby dragons.

He trills in a questioning way. Will they stay? Will the tide of puppies stop?

Al takes a moment to decipher what exactly Toothless is asking before shrugging. "I'm sure some of them will stick around, but most of them will go away again. Things from events...probably only stay around if someone really, really wants it to, I figure."

Toothless looks down at the fluffy creatures currently stumbling over his legs. He's going to miss them, he decides, if they go. It's been an interesting experience, especially given the lack of other animals.

He trills quietly at Al. Maybe, just maybe, one or two of them will stick around.

Alphonse smiles warmly and scratches under Toothless's chin. "We'll see, buddy. I have a kitten that might like playing with you, but she's a lot smaller than most of these guys." Not that he thinks Nessa will be afraid at all--so far the only thing she's really been scared of is Greed.
