"So we agree on dropping the custody case and give our focus to the will of the deceased. Is that correct?"

"Yes your honor."

"Ok. So we will schedule a trial. In the meantime, in accordance with Zephyr Sapphire Hofferson, the court has granted custody to go to her mother; Astrid Celeste Hofferson. The court is adjourned." When she concluded, Astrid was approached by Ingrid.

"Well, looks like we are now on the same boat."

"Yeah, it seems like it. You know, you can come to visit us when you want."

"I would be delighted to. Well, I best be going then."

"Okay then." Ingrid left the courtroom while Astrid left to go towards the exit and was ready to go home.

At home

Zephyr was in the shed with Malarie while Ruffnut and Tuffnut were storing the honey on the shelves.

"She is so pretty."

"Yeah, although that dress looks heavy."

"Hiccup, your here."

"I can see someone else is." He then hands her a bouquet of sunflowers.

"Someone hasn't wasted their time have they?"

"Nope. I also haven't at all after something I did while you were gone."

"What was it?"

"I'll show you this evening."

"I see." They talked for a while and Elsa wanted to get some more ice from the icebox. 

"Oh Jack?"

"Yeah?"

"I was actually wondering, well, I was wondering if why have you asked how I have been, when you might have had an idea."

"Huh."

"Just saying." Jack was left in thought. He then went to the porch to sit but Elsa called him again.

"Jack?"

"Els?"

"Here." She hands him the magazine.
