Not that he wasn't grateful for what had come to pass, not at all. He had his husband to snuggle up to and his interactions with Dave were getting better. Without much to do but check on his herd every now and then, Hiccup had taken to coming back to North's workshop as a resting point.

He has years of research to catch up on. The world might have been ready for the Guardian of Freedom to return to it, but the Guardian of Freedom wasn't ready to return to the world. Hiccup kept finding excuses.
