yes to all of this, honestly. ciaran doesn't really know how to get onto the wagon without tripping and falling off so we can definitely build something up from that! he can be a really poor mentor of sorts, wanting to take evan under his wing but not really knowing how and just being a pretty bad influence without even trying? but the world sees ciaran as someone who has his shit together and it could be so interesting to see people commenting on their friendship like "oh he's such a good influence on ciaran" and everyone who knows them just rolling their eyes.
