His face must have been funny as the entire group enrupted in laughter but hiccup did not find it funny. When the laughter had calmed Jack had told the kid to go back to the village promising them to return play the following morning while Hiccup was still to shocked to do anything. Gothi had started to follow the 2 vikings (Stoick and Gobber) after giving the group a meaningfull look.
Jack had smiled at her before putting his hand on Hiccup's shoulder to lead him away, the young viking still too stunned. And, ho, Thor is hand were freezing. Once away from the other villager he had let him go and Hiccup started questionning him.
"- Okay, what was that? How did you do it? What happend? Did no one see you?!" Jack had started to open his mouth to answer but Hiccup did not even realize as he just looked at him and said "What are you? A spirit? a Kororchun?!" he asked eye wide looking at jack from every angle as if he was trying to solve a puzzle. A potential dangerous puzzle, as he still made some distance between himself and the strange boy.
This did not seem to disturb Jack who leaned against his staff unbotherd, if not slightly amused.
-Yea, no don't worry about that i am j-
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN "don't worry about that"?! I'VE JUST SEEN YOU-somewhat screamed hiccup, this was crazy and the other guy was just acting as if everything was fine, only the kid had seemed to see him?! But Jack stopped Hiccup before he could go into another one sidded interrogation.
-Listend, i am not here to cause trouble. It's hard to explaine but i am looking for something. The kid seemed quite morose here and just wanted to have a little fun maybe asked some question before going.
This seemed to stop Hiccup who calmed a little bit.
-Do you know about any legend, myth or even story with time related object or theme? asked Jack to a very confuse viking.
-No? Jack sighted
-That's what i thought, after tomorow i am going. for an instant he seemed tired.
-What where you even doing around here? Said hiccup still suspicious.
-Looked around and one or two snowball fight, not that it should matter to you anyway. he straightened up . I guess i'll see you tomorow then. he had gone back to his smilling expression. And before Hiccup could react the wind picked up. The snow was flying everywhere and when it stopped the white haired guy -Jack- was gone.

the post that inspired the korochun thing in Hiccup dialogue. I had a lot of difficulty finding it again.
