Astrid found Hiccup walking alone in the village. She ran over to him and pulled him behind a hut.

"Hiccup, we have a problem."
"Make that two problems."
"What's your problem?"
"Dagur is suspicious about the Red Death incident and said he has spies on the island. What about you?"
"Barf and Belch are loose with no sign of the twins."
"Okay, that's way worse."

Stoick came walking over to them confused.
"Hiccup, have you seen Dagur?" he asked.
"No, why?"
"I can't find him after the armoury trip."
"I'll leave you two to talk," Astrid said.
"Keep an eye out for him, Astrid," Stoick said.
"I will."

Astrid started to search for Barf, Belch and the twins. She bumped into a man walking in the forest.

"Sorry," she said.
"It's okay. I wasn't looking where I was going," he replied.
"I'm Astrid."
"Dagur. Nice to meet you."
"You too."
"So, I lost Stoick and would love someone to show back to the village."
"I'll take you back."
"Are you sure?"
"It'll be fun."
"Okay then, lead the way."

They got to know each other on the way back and ended up taking several wrong turns. Astrid found that out and started going the right ways.

When they got back Hiccup greeted them.

"Dagur, my dad's waiting in the great hall."
"Alright. Thanks, Astrid."
"Anytime."

As soon as Dagur walked away Hiccup immediately started questioning her.

"Hiccup, all I did was show him back here. We are just friends. Anyway, you shouldn't be jealous. We aren't together although I do fall for crazy guys."
"Astrid!" Hiccup shouted.
