[Is that the sound of sleigh bells jingling, and—
No. No jingling here. In fact, it's more like crashing. Toothless had left the decorations alone, at first, but now he's discovered that it makes noise when you paw at it. Life may never be the same in the mansion again, at least until January. He doesn't understand it all (why would you want just one tree when you could have a forest) but he's determined to enjoy it.
The view on his comm shows him, every so often, rampaging around the mansion. He can be easily found by sound alone, chewing on things and dragging decorations around. Purely on accident, a giant red bow has tangled haphazardly around his neck.]

Still, the spiral is close enough, and Jesse nods.]
Close enough.
[The whole lack of people-mouth is probably killing it.]
You got the whole fire thing, yo, pretty sure that tops rings.
[Can't do much with them except entertain yourself in a stoned haze. Which has it's merits, sure, but it's far from practical. You're the undisputed champ here, bro, not to worry.]
no subject
He shakes his head quickly, like that will get rid of the nagging thoughts, and a raises it to breathe a quick burst of flame into the air.
The blue fire races into the air like an incendiary torpedo, exploding a good distance from them in a shower of blue light and smoke. It's the best trick a Night Fury has. It's saved his life. And it will in the future, too.]
no subject
He eyes the steam and sizzle as it hits that ground for a few moments before turning back to Toothless.]
Yeah, you win. [He holds his fist out for a paw-pound.] Good game, buddy.
no subject
But then comes the motion.
The Night Fury blinks, staring at Jesse's fist a moment before looking back at his face. What do you want him to do?]
no subject
WELL THEN. Edumacation time, Toothless.]
Riiiight, I haven't taught you that yet. Okay, this is like mad important, so you gotta pay attention. [Look at his (slightly) serious face, bro. VERY VERY IMPORTANT STUFF, HERE.
He gestures at one of the dragon's massive paws.] Okay so you gotta hold your foot up. Just the one.

no subject
Even if the point is as absurd as a dragon holding its paw up for a glorified high-five.]
Right, now don't move it-- [Aaand he shifts to bump his fist against Toothless's knuckles lightly... Or, well, the spot that looks like it could be knuckles. Whatever, some small compromises have to be made for inter-species fist pounding.] Boom. Like that. Got it?
no subject
And then Jesse just touches him and moves back and Toothless stares, rumbling curiously. He's got it, but what does it mean?]
no subject
Eventually, though, he adds:] It's like... Multi-purpose. Like, "hey" or "sup" or "peace", if you're leaving. Like, uh... Like 'aloha', that means like six hundred different things, right? It's the hand version of that.
[...He's pretty sure he read that or saw it on some show at some point... Whatever.]
Anyway. It's like a high five, only cooler.
[Shut up it's totally cooler. Trust your Viking buddy here, wouldja?]
no subject
Vikings who won't be scared if he raises a clawed paw at them, anyway.]
no subject
Which is probably a little sad, but there you go.
Still, the fact that Toothless seems to get the picture is enough to cheer his mopey ass up even just a little, and that's not nothing. ...But cheered or otherwise, he's also getting fucking cold, and so with one final drag of his mostly dead cigarette, he flicks it away and turns back toward the Mansion.]
...Ugh. Yeah, I think I met my outside quota for the next month. [A slight shiver, and back his hands go, into the relative warmth of his pockets.] Freezing my balls off, yo, gotta go back inside.
[This whole exposed to the elements thing will never be his bag. Ever.]
no subject
So, he trots past Jesse and back indoors, shaking off melted water from his wings.]
no subject
Or just sleep, you know.
Toothless shakes that water off and Jesse steps to the side to avoid the small puddle ring around his massive dragon body, having had enough of being wet for one day. He realizes, with more than a little relief and a tinge of excitement, that he can totally pull mad towels or a heated something out of the closets here. Since they work and all.
Awesome.]
Hey, you know if the fireplaces still work?
[He knows there was one in the music room way back when but it's been a long time since there's been anything but ashes in it back in his time...]
no subject
But he nods. Of course they work!]
no subject
In any case, he's glad to hear that stuff's working.]
Right on, man. Thanks. I'll catch up with you later, alright? [He probably won't... But he has no desire to do the goodbye thing and so he's... Not doing the goodbye thing.] I gotta do something about-- [he gestures at the general soggy state of himself] -all of this.
