... just so long as nobody tries to make me eat people. [ is the answer alex eventually settles on. he's not in any real hurry to touch on the topic of 'non-humans' if he can help it, and he can handle someone or something trying to eat him, more or less. not happily so, but. there's so very little to be happy about recently anyway. ]

I knew someone that was called Wolf. He was kind of a jerk, so it's a bit funny that you're the one with bad in front of it and not him. [ alex says this almost idly, his memories of wolf so vague and formless after all this time.

in any case, bad wolf isn't a codename he's heard around anywhere recently, so he probably doesn't need to worry about it. but that's hardly going to stop him from dropping slightly leading comments in an attempt to glean more about her situation without making it obvious that he's actually curious. ]
