"Any time you like as long as you're ready to be executed five minutes later," said Hiccup cheerfully.
He was sitting at a table, drinking some kind of...blue thing, that tasted very strongly of blue. You got used to blue-tasting things when you ate food from all manner of worlds and cultures.
He held up a hand and lowered it to indicate Zuko needed to dial down the temper a notch. He knew (or at least hoped) that Zuko was playing up the enraged emperor thing and that was good but they also had to make sure he didn't go so far that they thought he was a genuine threat.
And that was what Hiccup was there for, the good cop to Zuko's bad cop. They always worked like this, in tandem, helping to balance each other in situations like this when they needed to.
"They'd never stick their necks on the line like that. Not these people. Looks like we're in this one for the long haul."
They hadn't been sure they'd be revived. Their brands that allowed for teleportation back to the ship had been deactivated which made them wonder if the Capitol had managed to view their history through dimensions and realize the risk of capturing two of Stacy's crew, but perhaps they couldn't view their full histories when large chunks of them involved popping around through time and space and in between dimensions.
