hiccup doesn’t mean to brag, but he’s 
one of the best inventors on berk. 
he’s tampered with and rebuilt his

and he’s actually quite proud of it,
     thank you very much.

          ❛  changing a few parts. y'know —-
              upgradin’ to advanced, modern technology.
                ‘cause that’s…
                                         it's O L D.  ❜ 

                    keep up with the times, bro.

          his tone isn’t scrutinizing, but genuinely  curious.
          he’d  dabbled  in robotics, and engineering;  trial
          &   error  -  the   best  way  to  increase  skill  and 
          knowledge. but he knew for a fact; that that guy’s
          prosthetic was something he’d never seen.
