I just don't want you to see you get hurt if it could've been avoided, alright? This is me trying to keep everyone, including you, especially you in this case. as safe as I possibly can.

[It might've been more than a little blunt, but it had come from a place of caring. Even as randomly tossed together as the squad was, Hiccup didn't want to see the anyone in it come to harm if he could do anything about it.]

And, like I said, if it's what you need to cope right now? That's fine. I'll throw the punch.

[True to his word. Hiccup does actually haul back and throw the punch.]
