At the sound of her name there was an involuntary flinch, her metal spoon clinking off the edge of her bowl with a soft sound. The question reached her ears but there was a moment of delay before she could process it enough to respond.

"...Huh?"

Had she really been glaring at her soup that intensely? She must've if Hiccup had asked her if she was alright. Wide blue eyes blinked up at him, stunned for a second before she rolled her shoulders into a shrug, voice strained.

"Oh yeah - yeah. Yeah I'm fine. Just wonderful, don't you worry."

It sounded forced and she knew it. If there was one thing Astrid was absolutely terrible at, it was hiding her emotions. She huffed at her bangs but it did little to push them out of her eyes.

No, she wasn't doing okay. She wasn't. Not at the moment. Earlier? Maybe. Would she be fine later? Of course. But right now? Not so much. She set her spoon back into the bowl then, letting go of it entirely as her hands fell to her sides. Teeth chewed on her bottom lip before she looked away.

"...It's not a stupid question. I'm not."
