"Really?" He raised his eyebrows "I've only met...two, including you...and this other boy." He mumbled "I haven't seen any girls here yet." He smirked at the thought of the school being mostly girls. Before he got carried away with the thought, he shook his head knowing none of them would pay attention to him either way. Besides, he was always jumpy when it came to them for reason like this girl back at home named Astrid. "What do you mean by attention? As in..they are hitting on you?" He asked curiously.

"Not ssso much that they come on to me. I jussst ssseem to gain more friendsss who are girlsss. Though there is one that I think of that might have liked me. I'm jussst sssurprisssed by thisss becaussse my kind are not often consssidered attractive to humansss." Rahim explained.

"Oh...Well, I would consider that great!" He chuckled "I don't have luck with girls at all. Usually because in my village...the only way to get a girls attention..you have to kill a dragon." He sighed before raising his eyebrows when he mention this one girl that might have like him. "Really?" He raised an eyebrow in a bit of shock before shrugging seeing nothing wrong with it. Everyone deserved someone "Good for you...what's her name anyways?" He asked with a small smile.

"Isn't ssslaying a dragon to get noticcced a little...excccesssive? It jussst ssseemsss like a bit much. Anyway, her name is Alidia Hendly." Rahim answered him.

"No...not in my village." He shrugged "But in my case, yea, I agree with you there." He mumbled with a small sigh "It seems to be easy for every other guy though." He said before smiling a bit. "Well, lucky for you then." He breathed a chuckle.

This piqued his curiousity. Why was it so important to kill dragons for Hiccup's village?
"If I may asssk, why is it ssso important to know how to kill dragonsss? Is your country near a nessst, perhapsss?" Rahim asked him.
