[Something in Jack's sentence seems to make Hiccup snap back to reality, a sudden white hot flare of anger surging through him. His anger might not be able to control the weather like the storm Jack has suddenly kicked up around them, but his eyes slit, snarl curling on his lips that shows fanged teeth, nostrils flaring.]
You have no right to talk about abandoning people you swore to protect, Jack! You abandoned me for ten years, a newly born spirit who didn't know jack shit about himself! That wasn't magic or instinct if I recall!
[He gestured to himself, shoulders jerking this way and that as he did.]
I forgave you! I became this for you and you abandoned me and I forgave you! Or did you forget that in the last thousand years, ridiculous as that is? [When Jack turns his back on him, he raises his voice, snapping it in a scream.] LOOK AT ME!
[Something in his heart breaks when he sees the human - Dave, a voice in his head remembers bitterly - is able to snap Jack out of it more than he can. His fingers clench at his sides, wanting to stomp over and rip them apart, make Jack look at him. His blood runs hot through his veins without a living heart to pump it, livid, before he realizes that the human is freezing. Freezing, like he couldn't do.
The nails biting his palms cease as he uncurls his hands. He feels Toothless nudge under his hand in comfort, nuzzling his side - the Night Fury can sense his rider's distress. His voice breaks a little, chest heaving with half a sob. His body temperature might be eternally warm but he's not about to offer to comfort his husband's - ex-husband, a small voice reminds him, since Jack seems so determined to believe such - new partner.]
