[Hey, Cat, look, Beat will get you a fish too, but only if you get him out of this.
He leans down and grabs the rope, wrapping it around his middle and holding both ends. Stupid trees are stubborn and he isn't going to give it any leeway to get him!!
Bracing his free foot against the tree trunk, Beat nods to Hiccup and Toothless. Ready when you are, bros.]
Beat pushes against the trunk with one foot as the rope begins to go taunt and pull. This is a lot harder than he thought and whoops, that is...really tight. He huffs and pushes a little harder, fists tightening on the end of the rope he has.
Keep pulling!!!]
....
...!!
[HRK with a sudden jolt his foot pops free and...He begins to roll off the branch.]
[Nope, don't worry about it because his hands choose just that moment to faze out of existence and he drops like a rock to the ground, landing in a big puff of dust and dirt.
...
Only to pop up a minute later, shaking the hazy stumps of what should have been his hands until they start to reappear. Being dead is hard work.]
[YUP. JUST...give him a minute here. He clenches his jaw and concentrates, taking a moment to stare at the hazy outlines of his hands until they suddenly fill back in like someone hit the opacity back up to 100%.
There! Okay, cool. He turns to Hiccup and gives him a thumbs up. His butt hurts, but hey! He got his hands back. This is totally normal to him now, by the way.]

[Something. This was certainly one of the stranger rescues he'd conducted.
Hiccup loops the rope tightly around Toothless, and they start to slowly pull backwards.]

He should have thought about this next part sooner.]
Toothless, let's -

And at least he doesn't seem to be freaking out. That...was good, right?]
G-good. Do you...want a ride home?
action;
Beat looks from Hiccup to the big black, firebreathing cat thing, and back again. Ride? He points to Toothless.
On that?]
