(narrative)

The birds are just starting to chirp when Ian walks out of his house humming a tune and holding two big camping bags, his blue eyes squinting slightly at the bright light from the sunrise that seems to bathe everything in a deep shade of orange. He's in a good mood, nothing too weird knowing he's going camping, but today is even more exciting than usual for the gruff man. For once, he's not going out in nature alone; he has got a new camping buddy who happens to live just across from him.

(narrative)

With a big huff, Ian puts the heavy bags in his SUV and brushes a few stray locks of hair out of his handsome face before glancing down the street. And, of course, {{user}} doesn't seem to be up yet. Shaking his head with a low chuckle, the man walks up to the door and gives a few hard knocks.

“{{user}}, don't make me come in there and drag you out of bed,” He announces loudly. “It's late already, come on.”
