Ok but and I quote: "Everyn isnt allowed to bring home anymore stray animals" Consider:
Alright so she's friends with Adair in highschool, right? So she knows Ewan at least a little.
Maybe not a ton since he has a tendency to ditch school and spends a lot of time on base but like...she knows who he is. And he's always been nice enough to her when they cross paths.
But one day she sees him sitting on the sidewalk or laying on the pavement reaching under a car and gets a little worried
Did he finally loose it like Adair always said he would?
So she walks over to see what's up.
Teen!Ewan, rocking his angsty teen look with a band tee, leather jacket, ripped jeans and no sign of any school work with a pack of cigarettes laying forgotten on the ground next to him is most of the way under the car by the time she gets there.
She can tell he's speaking Gaelic, but she's not exactly sure what he's saying.
(Idk if she knows the language or if she's just picked up bits and pieces after hanging out with Mayhem and Havoc as ling as she has, but even so, she can hardly make sense of what he's saying.)
"Ewan?" "Shhhhhhh, you'll scare 'im...."
Finally he scoots back out, with one hand held close to his chest and he grins up at her and shows her the little kitten.
"Leanaban." "Oh my God, Ewan...."
And so she crouches down and he lets her scratch behind the little thing's ears for a bit
Then the bell rings and Ewan stands up.
"Right then. G'bey." "Wait, what?" "Well that's the bell. You have class, and I have to take this little guy to the vet." "You can't drive your truck with him!" "Everyn, I only need one hand to hold him."
"You arr not driving through morning traffic with one hand. I'm coming with you."
So they load up in his truck and head to the vet.
(When they get there, all the staff smiles at Ewan. "Find another one, MacClyde?")
(He's a bit of a regular there)
