Who: Hiccup Haddock and Owen Grady What: Random Encounter Where: Town When: Tuesday Warnings: Not likely Status: Closed
Owen had been in Madison Valley a couple months now. Long enough to see and experience first hand some of the weirdness that was life under the dome. He'd seen people come and go, and it made him hesitate to reach out and make friends with anyone, because with his luck whoever he tried to be friends with would leave.
But at the same time, he longed for some kind of human connection beyond Claire. His face twin Andy had been his brother when they'd all been transported to the old west, but even that relationship hadn't really amounted to anything once they were back to themselves. It was too weird, with how much they looked alike, and Owen didn't want to get too close anyway. He'd never been good at friendship, or making friends, not even as a child. His most significant relationship before Claire had been with Blue, and a relationship with a dinosaur was not at all like a relationship with another human.
He had the day off, and decided to do a little shopping in the city. He had a bag from the local hardware store in hand as he walked through town. Seeing Hiccup, someone he knew vaguely from the animal shelter, and from his short lived friendship with Astrid before she left town, Owen raised a hand in greeting. "How's it going?" he asked conversationally.
