--> '''Heather''': Uh huh. That's easy to say, chief, but it's one thing for you to be so happy about freeing thralls when all you have to do is saw off some collars and dish out some boiled mutton! It's another thing for me to believe that you'd be willing to invade Vedrarfjord on my say-so! How would you know that I wasn't leading you into a trap!? How would I know that you wouldn't try to make me into a double agent? That would just get my parents ''killed!''

!!Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Stoick admits that he was wrong that Snotlout was the reason why they were being invaded by an armada, while Spitelout admits that his son did not exactly help things and that Hiccup isn't so bad.
* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]]: Spitelout admits that he believed that Hiccup's new way of doing things would lead them to destruction, but he admits to Stoick that he was wrong after Hiccup's idea saved them from the invasion.
* SkewedPriorities: Hiccup had just saved everyone's lives from genocide and/or enslavement from a paranoid king and all Magnhild cares about is the fact that he used her cooking pots to do it.
