[ He scrubs his hand through his hair. ] Marriage, yeowch. Yeah, I've had enough trouble just getting a date, I can't imagine the whole - you know - settling-down-forever thing.
Aye, marriage. I know, I know, a princess has to set an example, and has certain duties and responsibilities, but really. M'mom was trying to set me up with suitors and I didn't want any of it.
[It's okay, Hiccup. She can't imagine marriage either, which is why she ended up being so desperate and...everything that led from that in her attempt to get Elinor to see she did not want marriage and was not ready for it.]
I'm the son of the village chief and that's an elected position. Can't imagine having that kind of expectation shoved on me. It was bad enough when everyone expected me to kill dragons.
[ Which wasn't happening. Isn't happening, ever. ]
[Her dad's was taken by Mor'du, but this boy was pretty young, about her age. It must have been a pretty bad accident or something along those lines, she guesses.]
Can't say I've ever seen any dragons. Ran into a bear once or twice though.
[Bears were dangerous enough, let alone dragons. They were supposed to be a lot bigger. And there was also the whole fire thing. But Merida does think this seems kind of neat and exciting. She's empathetic of the fact he did lose his leg though. It looked like he'd figured something to compensate though, different from her father's wooden leg stump.]
