[Ajax stares up at his ceiling as the light streams through his windows, a bright and early morning as he usually starts it. Late to bed, early to rise, that's always been his way. He's still pretty young, so the not-so-great sleep schedule hasn't had time to really take a toll on him, and he takes advantage of it as much as he can. The ginger pulls himself from his bed, sleepily pulling on some workout clothes to head out to the gym, yawning as he drives there to get his workout out of the way and head back home for breakfast and a shower.
Life in this small town has gotten terribly mundane and boring, and he wishes more than anything that there was something, anything that would brighten it up a bit and inject a little excitement into it. He'd debated on moving to a larger city, but he can only afford to live where he is now- he's just hoping to land a job with a much larger salary than what he's making. So it's a life of boredom for now, the only advantage being that his family is very close by, being able to see them whenever he wants. His younger siblings come over from time to time, and he couldn't be more thankful for that, making sure they all had places to sleep if they stay for the weekend and cooking for them every time they want to come over to see their big brother. It's a nice slice of home he still gets to have, but still...
He still can't shake the feeling of there being something missing in his life too. It nags at him and eats at him, almost as if it's there beneath the surface but he can't quite reach it. He's got to shrug it off, not give it too much thought, and go about his day instead- which now that he's home from the gym, consists of going out to his garden before he'll jump in the shower.
The ginger pads across his lawn as he goes to the nice little garden he's got going in his backyard, but there's been something plaguing it- something's been eating all his strawberries recently. He hasn't been able to catch the culprit, and he's hoping that one morning he'll get the opportunity to know what he's dealing with. But whatever it is, it sure does enjoy gnawing away at his fruit, and he hopes it enjoys what its eaten so far.
Ajax doesn't get too far when he spots it. A bunny, smack dab in the middle of his strawberry patch, eating away at the fruit. He can see the part of the little wire fence he'd put up around them to try to keep critters out bent and with an opening big enough to let the bunny in. That's one strong bunny to be able to get through there, he thinks, but no matter how you go about it now, he's finally found who's responsible. He slowly makes his way towards the bunny, knowing it would probably run- but the rest of the patch is fenced in, so he's just got to corner it so he can take it out of his backyard and let it find a home somewhere else. He sneaks up on it and-]
Oh ho, now I've got you!
[He quickly reaches for it to snatch it up in his arms! But will he be successful...]

And so that feeling is easily tamped down, especially as warm and cozy she feels in the arms of this stranger. After spending a little bit out in the wild, it's nice to be so pampered and cared for, and she's only been here for like ten minutes. Whoever he is, he must be a kind man. Not many would so easily and readily take a stray animal like he has. He'll find that there's not even a twitch of her little feet to suggest any desire to leap out and run off, sated as she is by the strawberries and lovely little scritches, and she's easily carried off towards the car...
But her realization that they are going into a car is what stirs her alertness once more. She squirms in his arms to stand on her four paws somewhat, ears tipping forward with the front of her body stretching forward, too. She's not being so unruly that he should be worried she'll run off (yet?), but she certainly seems— a bit restless, uneasy, cautious.
She doesn't like being in cars!! They're weird and scary and loud! She's probably almost gotten hit by some in her bunny life! ]
sob i'm sorry for making you wait i've been terb about my psls lately
Do you not like the car? You don't have to worry, it's not going to hurt you...
[He stops trying to get into it, backing away from the car while he thinks. She's been pretty placid until this moment, so he wonders if he distracts her with more strawberries that maybe she'll let him put her in the car peacefully. He really don't have any place to put her without losing track of her, so he's sort of gotta take her with him...]
Okay, okay. I'll make you another deal. You let me put you in the car, and you can have the rest of the strawberries in the fridge.
[Even so, he's turning to go back into the house to get the little pack of strawberries out of it for her, whether he gets any sort of bunny nod or not.]
