She was a dictator. Some people only care about consolidating power. [Hiccup has seen a few of those in his lifetime. Johann and his search to obtain the King of Dragons for himself, Drago Bludvist and his quest to control all the dragons of the archipelago. They were not men who could have been reasoned with, and he sees Morgana as more of the same.] People like Morgana Drummond, they- they don't build, they only conquer.

[It's why he believes this Circle of Three are different, deep in his heart. They seem to care about the people, they want to build something bigger and better for them. If they only cared about the shifting of power, they wouldn't seek out livestock to start new herds, to provide food. They wouldn't ask for help with improving their farms. They wouldn't ask how to help their once-enslaved people become whole again. Maybe their methods aren't perfect, but Hiccup is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

He gets the concern about the children. It's a valid point, that their whole world is changing. He only hopes that they're adaptable.] Did you get it? Reassurance.
