Aw, that's all right! Understandable. If you think they'd meet at the Ranch, Ethan would've likely introduced himself and bought him a drink of his choice. He's really quite friendly to new (handsome) faces. Otherwise, if they met outside the ranch (like if he would've been at the library for whatever reason?), Ethan is basically the Wal-Mart greeter there and would've been more than ready to help him find whatever he wanted. Whatever scenario works for you.
