[LN] Science Rules! [Open]
True to his word, Hiccup (And Toothless) did eventually check out the television, after the Viking had taken the dragon out for a long, tiring flight. One of the Yetis showed him the Pole's Netflix account. He idly flipped through the various shows, trying to find something that would catch his attention.
I still say we should've watched that thing about catching tuna. Toothless bespoke, feeling a bit peckish, as always. The dragon was shrunk down, curled up on the couch next to his partner.
"We'll watch. it later. Forgive me if I don't have the same interest in fish that you do. Here's something," Hiccup said as he gave the TV a closer look.
"Bill Nye...the Science Guy. Sounds worth a look."
He selected it, watched a a brief intro skit, flashing images set to weird music, and then a man in a blue labcoat and bowtie began to bring him sweet, glorious understanding. It was packaged in a way that those who'd never run into the concepts being presented could understand what was being discussed, like preteens, or in this specific case a Viking from the 11th Century.
Hiccup was hooked.

Hiccup scritched Toothless behind one of his earfins, as he remembered once again just why that was the case.
"I also have to make sure the whole thing meshes well with Toothless's false tailfin. He needs my help to fly just as much as I need his."

"Well then it's great that you're at least open to consulting with him. Back home it sometimes took weeks for other students to open up to one another and share ideas. But we always did our best to encourage banter and discussion. After all it's the best way to look at a project from a new angle."
Settling back into the sofa she smiled at the familiar face on TV. "There really is nothing quite as satisfying as creating something new and wonderful with your own two hands and your mind, except perhaps using that creation to help others. That's sort of why we're all here."
