With a small laugh and an eager follow, the super awesome dudes wound up at the ladder’s base. “Sounds good to me!” While Garrett turned away, Owen climbed up a short ladder. His feet grounded on a flat, wooden platform. The architecture amazed him, and the hiker smiled with slight awe. Until a zealous greeting drew his eyes to the entrance. Was this Boz? Because of the unusual name, Owen expected a dog to laying about.
"Hello, there!" Owen replied. "Sorry to interrupt, sir."
The alien looked up from his reading of comic books to see a man standing there. He grinned happily, like an excited puppy. He put down his books and stood to greet the other. “Hallo! Hi! I’m Boz!” He stared at his hand a moment, trying to remember the human custom of greeting someone, then held out his hand a bit awkwardly.
Soon after, Garrett climbed up inside with a box under his arm. Inside the box was snacks, a bottle of whiskey, cups, and cans of cola. He set down the box on one of the old tables and smirked over at the other two.
”Ah, Boz! You hook up that TV yet? I wonder if we c’n get the game up here.” Now, Garrett wasn’t much of a sports person, but in the company of others, he figured it was something to have on for some kind of entertainment.
Boz thought for a moment and pointed toward the somewhat older TV, “…I do believe I followed the, erm, manual correctly. I’m pretty sure I get basic cable up here.” He nodded happily.
Chuckling at Boz's hesitation, the enthusiastic hiker introduced himself and shook his companion's friend. "Owen Alexander! Pleasure to meet you!" He released the man's hand and gladly glanced around the room. “Incredible interior!” Owen’s mun laughed at the character’s lameness.
A gravel-like voice came from behind the hiker. Owen turned toward Garrett in satisfied surprise. “Your speed is intimidating, Garrett,” he teased. “And I see you brought the good stuff! Consider me impressed.”
