Se let go and walked in front of him. Then she kicked him in the shin. "Why!?"

Down stairs, the door opened. "I've got someone," she called. She hesitated before taking the first step up the staircase.

"Because," Hiccup said, not hearing ashling downstairs, "your going to break more ribs if you keep it up."

Ashling open the door, eyes widening. She stared, frozen to the ground. She had no clue what to do.

June turned to see Ashling. "Dancing? With my boyfriend? Really!?" She looked back at Hiccup. "You! Are in big trouble tomorrow!" She walked downstairs.

Hiccup groaned. "Good timing. Wheres the docter?"

"Here."
A short, narrow-shouldered girl with a cream-white undershirt and leggings stepped out. Over her short was a brown "corset" of types, though it conformed to her shape - she also had a sash-belt and a brown mini-skirt. "You need to lay down," she told him immediately. "Right now." she briskly helped him to his bed.

(Hiccup's got a way of picking out violent girls, hm?)

"Yes mam," hiccup said , going back over to his bed. The doctor pressed lightly on hiccups ribcage in different spots. "How bad is it?" Hiccup asked, wincing.

"Not too bad, but you certainly have broken ribs - five at the most." She said. Then there was a knock at the door. Ashling answered it to see Ruffnut. Ruffnut didn't bother to say hi, she just shoved her way past Ashling, and went over to Hiccup. "I heard that both Astrid and June don't like you - just wanna let you know that I'm available."

Ashling stepped up. "There's just been a misunderstanding," she assured Ruffnit. "I'm going to try and solve it of I can." She glanced at Hiccup. Whether she liked him or not, she wasn't going to let him take the blame.

Ruffnut looked slightly crestfallen, although she tried to hide it. "Oh, okay, yeah, i was just joking." Her face was turing red. "Tuff put me up to it. Stupid dare..." she muttered before retreating to the door. "Feel better," she added hastiy before going out.

"D'you want me to talk to her?" Ashling asked Hiccip. "Either way, she needs to know..."

"She'll find out," Hiccup said. "Astrid's always ranting to her, and i dont think there is any way to keep all this from astrid." He subsided into silence, closing his eyes. "June seems like a totally different person nowadays," he commented, keeping his eyes closed. The headache that had plauged him earlier was coming back.

"But I feel like she needs to realize you did nothing wrong," Ashling pointed out. "I want her to her that from me. I honestly don't think Astrid can give an... Objective account of that. Unless... Unless you feel it isn't worth it - but I don't want to say anything without your word."

"Look, Ashling, I appreciate your concern, you dont need to take care of this for me. If I need to, ill talk to Ruff, but usually she doesn't care about this kind of stuff. Bringing it up will only create more drama. Just leave it alone." He opened his eyes and looked at Ash, watching for her reaction.
