Astrid raises an eyebrow at Ruffnut's comments, but doesn't read too much into it. She'll meet the thunder god very soon, much to her delight, helping with getting her to understand the statement a bit more. Rather, she tries to gather all the information in her head, trying to sort out how any of it worked. Though none of it still explained why they were here, almost as if they had simply been picked at random.

She sighs, hunching down against the wall. "So we're really stuck here right now, aren't we? Someone already told me no one gets to go home, even if you win. Another said some people have even been here over a year."

Her eyes go to Hiccup, seeking out for some sort of answer in his. Because he should know something, shouldn't he? He always had an idea, a plan. When things looked hopeless, he always knew. Right? "Are we just meant to fight now?"
