[He almost laughs, because-- yeah, really, you think? A short teenager with no muscles to speak of, against a giant wolf? Yeah, he's definitely not a threat. Probably wouldn't be one even if you weren't, well, you know.
His expression grows more serious, though, when he listens to Noel talk -- and with a jolt, he realizes that, fuck, you think he was... dead? Well, technically, he was, but he was alive, too. He swallows, briefly considering setting it right, saying that no, I wasn't dead, or I was, but that was six years ago, but saying that isn't any less difficult now that it was five minutes ago, and so his mouth remains closed, at least on this subject.]
Something brought us here? That's why I was in the water? I guess that's one explanation. [Well, it makes a weird sort of sense -- not like there was much chance of finding any water near his hometown, anyway.
He gives Noel a wry smile.] I've come across a lot of weird shit in my life, I think I can handle whatever you have to say. [Can't be worse than coming back to yourself and being told you've spent the past couple of years eating people's brains...]
