Re: [Boating: Hugh and Atticus]
"Obviously we just have to get really good at improv," Hugh laughed. "God, I haven't done improv for a while, and it's so much fun." And it was always a good exercise too. Maybe he'd have to look into that.
"If Repose doesn't have aliens, I'd be disappointed honestly," Hugh chuckled. "But I don't know if I really want to come face-to-face with them." He tilted his head. He wasn't certain if Atticus meant now, or in the past, it didn't seem as if he left the island these days, but maybe there was something Hugh wasn't catching - Internet or something like that he could do it distance? But he just watched the boat, and stood up carefully so he didn't shift the boat around too much.
"I might take you up on that," he grinned and extended his hand to shake it. "And it was genuinely my pleasure to come out," he gave Atticus a look, warm and open. He'd maybe been a little too honest with a total stranger, but it had been good to speak about some of it, and he had a good feeling about Atticus, and while he didn't really know exactly whether he should trust those anymore, he was choosing to do so now. "Anytime you'd like company one of these mornings," he waved at the lake, before he stepped back out to the dock. "Let me know."
