sometime when ivar's leg isn't broken;
Hiccup and Toothless touch down on the front lawn, and he swings out of the saddle, rubbing the dragon between his ears before he heads up to the door and knocks. "Ivar! Make sure you dress warm, we're going out today." He's got something wrapped in burlap under his arm, and he seems a little excited, cheeks flushed from the cold and smile wide.

Hiccup had been surprisingly reticent on what they were doing today. He grabs a warm fur cape he got during Prijata earlier during the year and fastens it around his neck. Perfect thing to bundle up in during a winter day. "So what've you got planned?"

Toothless lets out a pleased little roar from where he sits on the lawn, tail swishing and eyes bright.

He looks ready to go, but there was just a touch of apprehension on his face. He's none too fond of when his feet leave the ground when he's on a boat and he wonders if this is similar. "There's no way of falling off, right?" That seemed like an incredibly messy way to die.

"You won't fall. Even if, and this is the worst case scenario that isn't going to happen because I've checked these straps half a hundred times, if the tethers break, Toothless will catch you. He's caught me a million times when I fell out of the saddle or a flight suit I was testing didn't work."
Toothless barks out an agreement, of sorts, and pads further up, nosing at Ivar's hand like he either wants to be petted or he's trying to reassure him.

"Alright. Let's get to it then." Ivar's heart is beating fast with excitement. This is going to be a heady experience for someone whose always had to go slow in his life, never able to find the joy of speeding along in the clouds with nothing to stop him.

"I'm serious! It'll be fine," he laughs, motioning for him to come around to the side. "Put on the harness, and that'll tether with this cord to the saddle here." Hiccup points out an iron ring and sturdy leather cord that will clip to the harness. "And these straps on the sides will keep your legs in the right position. Then you can hold on to me, and that's at least three points of connection with the saddle, so theoretically, you'll be fine even during loops and when he turns upside-down."
no subject
Once his struggles have gotten into the saddle, he clips himself to the leather cord, looking down at the straps that will go around in his legs. He's a bit at a loss on how to put them on, having never experienced anything but a few disastrous attempts at trying to ride a horse in the past.
