If you could only see the beast you've made of me

There is a wolf wandering around the station. A large wolf. A large white wolf with blue eyes.

Because he woke up in a chamber near the gym, that's where he's likely to be found, but he's wandering now, trying to sniff out something, anything, to tell him what's going on. Now, of course, he's not just a wolf. He's also a man by the name of Garion (or Belgarion, technically) but given that a wolf can cover distances much faster than a human can, that he'll have the advantage of a nose that can sniff out nearly anything on his muzzle, and the fact that between his teeth and his claws, he'll have more a weapon in that form should he encounter anything dangerous...

He's always scouted as a wolf. Really, this is no change. Or he tries to remind himself it's very little change, even though he can't sense his Aunt Pol or his Grandfather or even Durnik anywhere. Even though his wife is nowhere to be found and he can't smell her, not even on his own skin, not on the clothing he woke up in. Neither his wife nor his children and it's upsetting on two legs, but on four, it just gives him a sense of urgency.

So if you happen to see a rather large white wolf near the mess or the bar area or one of the crew quarters or just in the hallways, well...

He's as new to this as you are.

The thing of it is... he's had a day. He's had more than a day. He's been plucked from his home, his belongings either taken or left behind. He doesn't know where his wife or his children are, the state of his country, the state of his world, and the one thing that's always guided him is currently being mute when he needs answers. And now, someone's looking at him as if he's an idiot after he's had to deal with all of this, plus being in space, a thing he hadn't even realized was possible until a few hours ago.

In short, he's in a foul mood.

Which is why he lets out a soft noise, almost like a low bark, before one of the food dispenser buttons press and dispenses (more than likely) a duplicate of whatever was last dispensed.

The wolf gives her a look right back then, even though the second after he'd done it, he'd realized it was petty and a little ridiculous. Ugh. Ugh.

"Don't take that tone with me, child."

Says Jasnah, mostly because she can't see his sex, partially because something about his expression looks adolescent.

But this is more interesting. He hadn't seemed to press that with his paw, he'd done it with a sound. Just intriguing enough to keep Jasnah from picking her book back up on principle.

"Can you use that surgebinding to get the tray onto the floor?"

When she calls him out for his tone, he gives a tired sort of sound, as if to say 'yes, ma'am', because really, he knows it was childish. He knows very well he reacted with his frustration and not with his brain. He won't even fight it.

But the question has him considering, which is why a moment later, he makes another sound, soft low rumble that sounds as the tray lifts and slowly makes it's way to the floor in front of him. Then, of course, his priority is eating because he realizes with the smell in his nose that he hasn't all day, but hopefully, the question was answered.

He keeps the word in mind, though. 'Surgebinding'. He'll have to ask about that when he can talk.
