A question of some sort was heard overhead and Kyle looked up. Who should it be but the Quartermaster himself, his boss, Iain. As if today wasn't difficult enough already...
Kyle found it hard to interact with Iain. Much of this was because he only understood about one word in every three the ranga spoke, whoever said Australian accents were hard to understand had obviously never listened to a Scotsman. But part of it was admittedly because Iain was a pretty hard person to get to know, beyond superficialities that is. He never wasted a word and had a constant cloud of "crankiness" about him, must be the hair colour or something.
Still this did not stop Kyle from trying. The man had given him this job which allowed him to do the amazing things he'd wanted to do since uni. And if anyone in this city knew where to find a Wild Haggis it would be this guy. The incentives outstripped any difficulties that came with the turf. Accents included. What did 'daein' mean in English?
'Mornin Iain.' That was friendly enough. 'Sorry about interrupting your smoko, I'm just bringing Dafydd in to test the new listening devices' Oh yes those devices,Kyle was extremely keen on these new ones. But of course, they would have to be tested before they sent them out into the field, hence the sheep. Speaking of sheep, Dafydd still needed to be taken into the building...
Kyle stretched and grabbed the rope again before standing up. The ram looked up at him as if daring him to try and start walking again, but the Australian was not daunted. He calmly went into the phone box and tore out some more phone book pages 'for everywhere the pages went the ram was sure to go'. Once Dafydd was moving in a reluctantly forward direction he looked at Iain again. 'Would you be able to hold the door open?' he asked in a "You did not see any of that" kind of way.

The last thing that Kyle expected when he was chasing down a stray cranberry was for the little sheep that was his cousin to snuggle up into his side (effectively blocking his view of the plate) and say how glad he was that Kyle was here. Nor was he prepared in any way for the homesickness that seized his windpipe at the mention of family 'Strewth, if this carries on I'm going become as sentimental as Muriel's Wedding.' With this thought the Australian wrapped his arms around Westley's middle and hugged him hard. So many memories, the two of them, on the other side of the world. Kyle had thought himself too old to be missing home, but now he realized that there was no age limit for missing your roots. And at least he didn't have to face the despair alone.
"You were so brave coming here by yourself." He mumbled hoarsely into Westley's hair. "A different country, with people you barely knew. Away from your mum. Are you sure you're not part hobbit?" The lame crack at humor was as much for his benefit as it was for his cousin's. They couldn't start crying during Christmas day for crying out loud.
He let Wes detach himself once the hug got awkward and grinned lopsidedly at his pommy killing machine suggestion. "We'll hunt them down with the infrared superpowers that makes our side of the globe awesome and tear the wrapping paper off with a vengeance." And if that didn't make kiwi laugh (or at least roll his eyes at him) then he was a mong.
"Let's start with the ceiling fan and work our way round." He suggested and knelt down so Wes could scramble up his back. Matilda watched the scene unfolding before her looking distinctly unimpressed. Well climber or not, they would show her.

As Welsh as a Gavin and Stacey stage musical performed on a North Wales farm. 7:14 (pretty good considering that I haven't read the books yet) Dialect: Spectacularly South-East (makes sense) As British as a Dalek serving afternoon tea As Irish as a tayto sandwich.

Ok here we are I've let Iain know what's happening in case he wants to be there to stop us. Should be fun!

It was Kyle’s belief (as well as society’s in general) that it wasn’t too difficult to herd a sheep. After all, humans had been selectively breeding good herding characteristics into them for hundreds of years. So you’d think that once you’d got a sheep moving it would be too difficult to lead it in the right direction. Which meant that right now Kyle was either entirely wrong or he’d somehow picked the one sheep in the world that’d escaped this selective gene pool. He was inclined to think the latter. “Oh no, no we’re not crossing the road here. Do you want to become road kill?”Kyle guided the ram away from the road and tried take it in the direction of the MI6 building. The pair were quite unaware that in the smart-suited streets of London they stuck out like a sore thumb. Kyle alone was bad enough. After two days of sweating in a suit and tie he had reverted back to the old outback clothes he was used to wearing. His washed out flannelette and thick workboats could not have looked more out place, not that he had bothered to notice this. And as for the sheep…dogs being taken out for a walk were a common enough sight, but a sheep most certainly was not.
The sheep in question was one of the sturdy Welsh varieties and as such Kyle (who had names for all his pets) had decided to call it Dafydd. A name he’d read it in a book once. And right now Dafydd seemed keen to wonder everywhere except where Kyle was try to lead him. “Wait, not into the phone box. No don’t eat the phonebook! Come back here!” All at once Dafydd stepped back out into the street, knocking the Australian over in the process. The sheep then proceed to chew placidly on his stolen contents of the phonebook whilst staring at Kyle. The man could only sit there and gawp back at him “Crikey!” He exclaimed “I’m beginning to think I should have named you Westley.”

I imagine that they've been vaguely introduced at some point. Anything more than that is hard to imagine though I'm sure Kyle's heard rumors. They could have a chance meeting on the street, or perhaps someone deposited a Burmese python on Kyle's desk and he needs some advice on how to care for it. What do you think?

*Runs in*
Hello! Resident Oz here. I think it'd be great to see what these two could come up with. There's plenty of reasons for hate (he's in MI6, male, kind of cocky). But they have a lot in common (fear of fire, hated the Indochina Wars, care for wildlife). I'm sure they'd get along well if Kim-ly doesn't bite his head off in the first five minutes.

We need to plot, and we need a sheep. I'm picture Kyle needing help dragging a fatass sheep into the MI6 Lab
