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.

She looks his way without ever slowing down. What a strange creature. Elektra lets out a soft laugh as she regards him. "Do you want to play fetch? Is that it?" She truly doesn't know what to make of it. "Or is this your way of asking for help? Because I am busy." She reminds him. What? Talking to an animal is normal when Frank does it so why not her?

[why_me]

There's a huff of a noise at the mention of 'fetch' because he's not a dog, thank you, but the question about 'help', he answers with a shake of a head. Instead, he starts walking around the device, pausing to look at the pieces, how they move, how they work. It's not circling prey; there's no sense of danger or menace or intent from him. Just curiosity.

[blacksky]

That earns another soft laugh. She actually can't remember the last time something made her feel good in a simple way like this. "Did I offend you?" Elektra sounds sincerely amused by the idea. She sets the weight bar back in its proper place. She moves to put the disks back as well. He's curious so she sees no reason not to act as she would normally. "I am sorry if I did. Don't tell anyone I am capable of apologies though. That's between us."

[why_me]

Garion's response to that is a deeply amused yip of a noise before letting his tongue lolling as if to say 'it's between you and me'. Then he watches the rest of what she's doing.

That earns a round of genuine laughter from Elektra. She smiles brightly at him once she's done. "You are a riot. I may just sneak you food and keep the others from killing you." Actually that's the plan now. He's growing on her. It helps that she's actually a quite lonely woman on this and every other plane of existence.

She heads for the treadmill next, eager to run out her excess energy. "Come to think of it they are a bunch of bleeding hearts. I bet they'll complain if anyone tries so I might get away with just looking pretty while they do all the work for me."

[why_me]

Garion happens to like her as well, which is why he's happy to pad over to settle beside her to watch the new machine. The joke she makes about looking pretty gets a snort but not an insulting one.

She'd be surprised. At least one person had held a gun on him, another had almost pulled a knife.

Elektra tips her head to the side to concede his point. She shouldn't be lazy even if that is her whole cover in a nutshell. "You're right. I'll probably have to be a little more proactive than that if I want you to keep your skin. They are restless. We all are in our own way. I suppose that's prison life for you."

[why_me]

That has the wolf's head tilting to one side. Prison? Is this a prison then? He pads a little closer to hear if she has any more to say on that.
