[ Jack sighs, watching him at the fire. He's feeling twitchy, but he likely owes Hiccup more of an explanation than that. ]

I've only been staying at Dave's for a couple of days here and there, nothing regular. Before that, I didn't stay anywhere, I just ... I roamed around. The Workshop is where I came on Guardian business, somewhere I got into the swing of doing a job.

[ As much as Jack flits around, he tries to keep an ounce of professionalism around the yeti. Most of the time. Going stir-crazy, banged up in the building with his adjusting partners, hasn't helped. Looking at Hiccup in his new clothes, the way he fits so well into the new world at a glance, even if he doesn't feel like it, Jack has to wonder. ]

Dave's going to have to go back to New York soon, he's still a student. Are you going to stay on here or head off to find somewhere safe for the dragons? I didn't have a plan for myself besides ... flying off again.

[ As much as he loves his partners, it's jarring to think of staying in one place forever after spending so long with a carefree nomadic lifestyle. Jack wants to get out there. It's easiest on him to crash at their homes when they get together, only North's place is more like staying at an uncle's office. ]
