It was definitely strange--the closest thing, in Hiccup's mind, was when they had first found the dragons' nest, back home. Even with all those dragons clamoring on every cliff and cranny, it didn't seem quite the same as all these people busying about dancing and chatting.
He's pleased to hear Astrid doesn't disapprove of the building, at least. If she'd taken the time to enjoy it, then...well, she could just be having a super-lousy, boring time. But he preferred to think that she was just keeping her mind open to the area and scoping it out. Her question catches Hiccup a little off guard, and he shifts awkwardly. "Ah, some. Carmen asked me to."
And now to pray that Astrid will just leave it at that because he doesn't really want to relive the experience of introducing himself to Clair. What a mess. "...What about you? Did you dance with anybody?"
