第六章:另一边的故事(12)

Snotlout’s clothes had dried entirely now, in the steamy warmth of that dragon-and-fire-warmed hideout. He yawned, wrapped himself up in one of Fishlegs’s mother’s old blankets, closed his eyes and pretended to go to sleep.

‘C-c-can Toothless bite him?’ asked Toothless hopefully. ‘Or would that be rude? Does it matter being rude to a rude person? Or does it n-n-not count?’

‘Suffering scallops,’ said Fishlegs in disgust. ‘What do we do now? Do we trust Snotlout or not? I still don’t see why, if he’s on our side, he doesn’t have the Dragonmark.’
