[Of course Hiccup wouldn't thing it stupid. Sometimes owls can take weeks to deliver letters, not being magical themselves. Hiccup has experimented with machines and magic before, as Jack well knows, but given the thing didn't work out in the end, the idea of actually owning a muggle device is exciting. Even if he might have to hide it from his father, but then again he's used to things like that.
He blinks when Jack starts describing all the things a "phone" can do, the expression on his face one of complete bewilderment. They can write letters and read books? Simply amazing. Amazing. He has no doubt that muggles have produced so much more, and looks up when Jack points to the sign on the store before he's grabbed by the shoulders and turned.
The expression on Hiccup's face becomes something akin to a potoo bird, his eyes going wide before they settle, turning his head this way and that to see the different things flashing on the screens. Moving like wizard pictures but it's so...different. The bright colours are nearly blinding, but Hiccup can't help but take a step towards the window, pressing his hand against the glass and peering at the screens, tilting his head like a cat before he turns his attention back to Jack, opening his mouth to speak before the words die on his lips to start with.]
lmao Jack you're gonna have to share Hiccup eventually
