[The video begins with a great deal of commotion.]
[It would seem that it turned on right in the middle of some kind of confrontation-- ... in the water, no less.]
[There's a lot of splashing around, and judging from the murky visuals on the screen, the 'Gear is in a pocket, and being continually plunged in and out of the surf. Finally, the sky rolls around, although it's soon replaced by a tumbling view of wet sand, sky, wet sand again, and then finally, the owner of the 'Gear, staggering out of the waves and trundling up onto the beach.]
[It's Toothless, sopping wet and growling possessively, his normally-spiky hair hanging down around his face like seaweed.]
[... But what will probably catch most peoples' attention is the fact that he appears to have a fairly sizable Magikarp, still squirming and flopping, lodged partway down his throat.]
[... And with some hurk-hurk-hurking noises, he's trying to swallow the rest of it, too.]
[Wellp. He's in for a rude awakening...]

It's 'barn', Ziva, but this is more appropriate anyway.][video]
Date: 2011-08-29 05:17 am (UTC)[Maybe if he shakes it enough, it'll fall apart. The fish Hiccup gave him back home sometimes did that, but he preferred to swallow them whole so he didn't shake them to pieces often.]
[But in THIS case...]
[He starts to whip his head back and forth violently.]
[The poor Magikarp's thought process can be summed up as WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ONNNNNNNNNNNN]
[video]
Date: 2011-08-29 05:27 am (UTC)Toothless!
[Listen! :| You're gonna give yourself a killer headache doing that, dragon-boy.]
You cannot hurt them.
[video]
Date: 2011-08-29 11:04 pm (UTC)[These scales are tough, but... he's confident that if he can just swallow it, his tough stomach will do the rest.]
[Hunkering away from the 'Gear as if he thinks she'll somehow be able to take the fish from him THROUGH it, he GLOWERS.]
[video]
Date: 2011-08-29 11:08 pm (UTC)[Fine then, she tried to warn you. She'll just sit back here and wait until your new gag reflex kicks in.]
[video]
Date: 2011-08-29 11:43 pm (UTC)[Toothless, on the other hand, seems to think he's won.]
[Settling down with a satisfied expression, he proceeds to continue his quest to swallow the fish... until, a moment or so later, it finally happens. Eyes popping open, Toothless's shoulders heave.]
HORK.
[video]
Date: 2011-08-29 11:50 pm (UTC)What are you, a snake?
[You're definitely not a person--well, you weren't anyway. She's pretty sure of that at this point.]
Humans are not meant to swallow food whole like that.
[Yes, she's also aware that probably not all of what she says to you is getting through--but she's learned enough languages to know that talking to him like he's a small and particularly slow child won't help him pick it up any faster.]
[video]
Date: 2011-08-31 02:18 pm (UTC)[Toothless doesn't look NEARLY as relieved. In fact, he looks unsettled.]
[Why was he not able to swallow it?]
[It couldn't JUST be because his human throat was so small...]
[He looks down at the fish, then up at Ziva, then down at the fish again.]
... Jhhhhiva!
[HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. WHY WON'T FOOD GO DOWN? 8(]
[Maybe this was why Hiccup always rejected his offers of food...]
[video]
Date: 2011-08-31 03:09 pm (UTC)Your mouth is too small.
[She pantomimes for the sake of hoping he'll understand her better that way, putting two fingers against her lower lip, mouth slightly open, then moving her palms close together to indicate 'small'.]
[video]
Date: 2011-08-31 03:42 pm (UTC)[He continues to stare down at the fish, baffled.]
..... Hrrk.
[He's not used to having a gag reflex that he can't control.]
[video]
Date: 2011-08-31 04:50 pm (UTC)[Ziva = not a huge fan of sushi?]
Catch it.
[She holds up a Pokeball and points at it, then indicates the Magikarp as well as she can--you know you can catch those, right, Toothless? Not for eating.]
[video]
Date: 2011-09-06 05:40 am (UTC)[He eyes the Pokeball dubiously, but... well, as much as he's tried to eat this thing, he hasn't been able to... He doesn't wanna let it GO, that'd be like admitting defeat.]
[After looking between Ziva and the Pokeball a few times, he lets out a long, grumbly groan and reaches out for the ball. OKAY OKAY HE'LL DO THIS YOUR WAY, GOSH.]
[video]
Date: 2011-09-07 07:11 am (UTC)With luck, next you will find one that is not so difficult to eat.
[...good luck with that, Toothless.]
[video]
Date: 2011-09-10 05:35 am (UTC)[He jerks his head a little in reply-- like a beast flicking its ears irritably. But he does take the ball.]
[... And sort of... starts whacking it on the fish until, after a couple of smacks, the button gets pressed and the 'karp disappears into the ball in a flash of red light.]
[video]
Date: 2011-09-10 05:40 am (UTC)Poor abused Karp. :C It's gonna turn into Mr. Fish the walleyed Gyarados at this rate.]
When next we meet, I will buy you lunch.
[As a way to make up for today. Too bad she's in Violet right now.]
[video]
Date: 2011-09-10 05:49 am (UTC)[The boy is looking down at the ball before shoving it back into his very-battered bag (it's amazing any of his supplies even STAY in it anymore, considering it looks like the top flap has been chewed off. Even the ball's got a few dings on it-- all his stuff's probably been falling all over the place), still making grumbling noises deep in his throat, but he perks up visibly at the word 'lunch', looking back over to the screen.]
[He knows THAT word. c:]
