Astrid was hungry, which only added to her anticipation for the bread to actually heat up and not explode in Hiccup's face (which she still currently believed was entirely possible). Of course, she could have gone with starting on her soup before Hiccup had a chance to sit down too, but she had a bit more manners than that. Besides, it just wouldn't be fair.

Anxious, she continued to watch the microwave heat up the bread as numbers she still had trouble remembering flashed, counting down. So far, so good.

"Apparently metal makes it spark because it runs on electricity." She managed to say, flicking her eyes up to stare at Hiccup's bland expression. "The electricity just goes through it. Kind of creepy, if you think about it."
