[The other dragon looks frightened, now. And that's far more interesting to Toothless than what the benevolent Cecil is saying right now, although it's not at ALL lost on the dragon-turned-boy that this... other dragon seemed to listen to Cecil. Just like he, Toothless, listened to Hiccup back home. But, because he was never AFRAID of Hiccup back home (except for that... one occasion, before they had known one another), it just doesn't even occur to him that Kayne's terror is due to his trainer's command, and not Toothless himself.]
[If he'd had his tail with him here, it would have been swishing in thought.]
[But as it is right now, there is one thing to do. And that is to display his dominance over this situation.]
[And SO, he rears up in the sand onto his legs (it's not... really 'standing' in the normal sense, and it's obvious he's more comfortable down on all fours), and opens his mouth to let out a MIGHTY ROAR.]
[... Which isn't so mighty coming from a human's throat, but still fairly impressive, given that most teenagers just don't make noises like that. Then he drops back down heavily, thick arms meeting the sand with a pair of pluffs, and looks back to Cecil and the Dragonite with what can only be described as a smug smile, because he is TOTALLY in control of this situation now.]
