[He's been staring at his journal for a while, just trying to find the right words. It's... difficult, in part because he's so surprised and also due to sadness.

When Ven speaks into the journal, he tries to hide his disappointment; as a result, he sounds pretty strained.]

Hey, guys. Looks like it's December now, which means Christmas is right around the corner. I heard about a party over the journals, but does anyone else have something fun planned? If it's anything like last year, we'll probably get a ton of snow. A big snowball fight could be fun. Just an idea.

[He sighs. This isn't working...]

Terra's gone. After all this time, I didn't think he'd... [A beat.]

Does anyone wanna hang out? Or do something? I think I need a distraction right now.

[There, at least he's being honest. And with that, he'll probably check up on his housemates (especially Vanitas) and then head out into the village for a bit. He might be wandering a little aimlessly. He'll be just about everywhere before he returns back to the house.

Care to cheer him up? Or antagonize him? Anything goes!]

They would. It's probably a good thing we've only been fishing a few times.

It'd probably be hard to catch 'em right now, anyway. The lakes are starting to freeze up.

[Okay, front torso snowball is looking fine. Time to place it on the front legs and hope it doesn't collapse.]

[He nods, starting to pat down a torso for his dragon.]

Yeah. Which...is fine, because I'm not a great fisher. But Toothless likes the fresh river fish better. So I guess it's a bit of trade-off.

Maybe you could get him some as a treat every once in a while.

[Assuming he doesn't already do that.]

I try to. He's actually gone with Sokka a few times. He's a much better fisher than I am. Plus I think it does Toothless good to get to know people around here a little better.

[...And shaping up that torso.] ...I think he's inclined to sort of...distrust everyone here.

Maybe it's because he's a dragon.

[Ven frowns.]

A lot of people might see him and think he's dangerous before they get to know him.

Yeah. Plus he never knows what to expect. On Berk, everyone's a viking, and Toothless is used to vikings. But here? No luck. Iiii don't think it helps that he got brainwashed, either.

Brainwashed?

[Okay, he's pausing in his dragon building for a second. This sounds... pretty serious.]

...Yeah. [It's not something he loves explaining, but people should be aware this sort of thing can happen...] When I was kidnapped, a few months back? Toothless wandered away because no one was around to feed him.

And...he got brainwashed. And totally forgot who he was. And...me, too.
