Alex kept himself between the small... Dog? No... It looked a little more wild than that. Have wolves evolved in this new world to accept the alliance of a human? He pushed these thoughts from his mind as he stood between the animal and Hope. It didn't necessarily look feral, but he was also hoping to be a good defense line between this girl and Hope should it come to that.
Then the girl stepped out and spoke, and her tone was an immediate source of relief. " uh... Hi" He said, awkwardly as usual, a fact that was driving him insane... If he wasn't already. " I'm Alex... And behind me is Hope. Its um... Nice to meet you." He carefully inspected the girl, what little he could see of her and then moved slowly, careful not to make any sudden movements over to what looked to be a cooking pot. He motioned for Hope to shut the door behind her and began picking up scraps of broken wood and loose paper, most of which had probably come from the old-timey shelves that lined the store. The pot was nearly filled to the brim with the debris before he set it in the middle of the room, behind a checkout counter to conceal some of the light. He then retrieved s stick of flint from his pocket and using his knife to coax sparks from it, began to build a small fire.
