[The question earned Jon a raised brow, but he couldn't say after meeting those aboard the station he'd seen that he might not have asked himself if he'd found his suspicion's aroused.]
I was. Now I am... something else. But I give you my word, I mean no harm.
I know. [He pointed ahead to Ghost, who trotted ahead of them cheerful and relaxed.] My wolf has a sense of people. He wouldn't be this friendly if he thought you were a threat.
[He would have attacked, but instead he didn't seem to notice Vlad's presence.]
The housing is just up ahead. You might have a roommate?
[He'd noticed the large beast, but had not tied it to belonging to Jon. A raise of his brow in answer, and he looked at the wolf with a newfound interest.]
A wolf? Mm, I would not likely find myself attacked by a wolf. Still, it is good to know that I do not... bother his senses.
[The mention of a roommate, however...]
That may not be for the best. I am-- I am happy to take a smaller place if it is solitary. Anyone who may need to bunk with me might find it unsettling.
[And he'd been so long without a companion, he had no notion of how a body so close to him might affect him when he slept.]

You wouldn't? Do you have abilities over wolves?
[That's the first assumption he made with what little information he had on Vlad.]
You will need to find employment quickly then. If we don't accept the starter homes, we are expected to pay for wherever else we go.
no subject
[Not that he was overly worried about it, but if the wolf belonged to someone, he certainly wouldn't want to harm it.]
I see. Then I suppose I shall have to find myself a position that suits sooner than later.
no subject
[Which he hoped he would. For as little as he knew about Vlad, he seemed honest enough.]
I wish you luck with that. If you need help, simply ask.
no subject
[And it wasn't as if the position wasn't something he was unfamiliar with. It was as good an idea as anything.
At Jon's last words, Vlad nodded, holding his hand out.]
And you, Jon Snow. You seem a man of honor, and I've found that can be a dwindling thing in some places.
