[when the feed opens, it's a shot of a very uncomfortable looking scott mccall. dressed in a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved shirt, scott looks like he's been rolling in a field. which...is a lot closer to the truth than you'd think. there's a leash in one of his hands, the whole thing clearly being filmed by a second person. someone who sounds far too amused by what's happening here. so it's around a laugh that the mystery voice prompts a quiet "go on". ... right.]
Um. Hi. Uh-- My name's Scott. McCall. [wow, okay. trying this again. don't mind him while he just clears his throat and--] I'm Scott, and I'm new here? [more laughing because "that's not meant to sound like a question, kid"] --oh. Right.
Okay, my name's Scott, and I arrived a few weeks ago. I've taken a job at the animal shelter here. [he's about to continue on, but--] Sorry. Best Friends Animal Rescue. And I've been asked to see if there's anyone else out there who'd be able to lend a hand.
[there's some whining then, and scott looks down to his feet. a moment later, and he crouches out of shot to pick up the ball of fur at his feet. one slobbery lick to his face, and there goes the discomfort. now he's on to business. with a huge smile on his face, of course.]
There's a lot of little guys here who could use a friend. Even if you can't take an animal permanently, we're looking for people who'd be able to foster them for a bit. A couple of months maybe. Just so they can get out of here for a while.
I mean, it's great here. It really is. But it's not the same as giving them a family.
So, I guess. What I'm asking is: is there anybody out there who'd be interested in taking care of an animal for a while? We've got dogs, cats, rabbits, a guinea pig. Then there are also a couple of rats, a few hamsters, and some gerbils if you don't have space for any of the others.
If you're interested, you need to come by for an assessment with one of the team. I can't do that part, but if you've got any questions, I can try to help.
Um...thank you. [and then his gaze moves off-screen as he adds--] Was that okay? [though you'll never hear the answer to that because that's when the feed is finally cut.]

[not that it'd stopped them offering him a job when he'd asked. as upset as the animals may have been at the start, the people there had seemed to take a liking to him fairly quickly. winning the animals over hadn't taken too long after that.
the trouble is, he has no idea how well they'll react to someone like derek. he's not exactly a people person, so quite how derek's meant to win over the rehoming team, he isn't sure.]
Do you...need me to introduce you to the team? [or at least warn them in advance]
no subject
[ He's not here to argue. Derek extended his olive branch via explanation of where he's at with their relationship to one another in his time and an implied invitation for Scott to explore the potential friendship.
He's not going to bend over backwards for the kid trying to get Scott to be pack again. It didn't go well the first time and the whole point of coming here was to get away from Beacon Hills, so it doesn't make sense to replay the past like that. If Scott wants him around, then he's around. He'll leave it at that and it'll probably be appreciated, if Derek had to guess. ]
I think I can handle it. I promise, I packed my big boy pants when I came here, Scott. I'm telling you, the person you think I am? I'm not that guy. It's been a long time. If you don't want my help, I won't be offended. If you do, then I'll stop by the shelter and meet whoever and sign whatever and do whatever. You tell me. I've been kind of done stepping on toes for a couple of years now, so I don't really want to start doing it again, you know?
