Ezra jumped into the cove where Toothless was waiting for him.
"Hey buddy" he smiled.
"How you doing?"
Toothless purred in response and rubbed against his arm.
Ezra scratched the dragon's neck where he purred and began rumbling happily.
Feeling confused, Ezra continued to scratch around Toothless's neck. Toothless seemed to squirm with enjoyment and pushed against Ezra as he worked his fingers over the dragon's neck. He continued when Toothless stretched up and went for under his chin. Toothless, who's​ eyes had been closing, snapped open. He fell forward and collapsed on to the ground, rumbling with delight.

*Everyone remember this?*

Ezra blinked in surprise and looked at his hands. This would definitely come in useful.
Ezra crouched beside Toothless and gently scratched his back.
The Night Fury purred and put his head on Ezra's knee.
The boy crossed his legs so he was in a better position and continued to pet the reptile.
After a while, he pulled out his small notebook and began writing notes.
Toothless opened an eye and handed up at his rider.
With a curious purr, he looked over the book to see what Ezra was doing.
"I'm writing some stuff about you buddy. It'll help later on."
Toothless nuzzled Ezra's forehead and lay back down. "You know, for an offspring of lightning and death itself, you're a remarkably tame dragon" Ezra told him.
Toothless rolled his eyes and settled down for a nap.
Ezra finished the paragraph about the dragon's sweet spot round his chin and moved on to how dragons hate eels.
