Jack wasn't sure how many strange things happened up in the Beanstalk, but the boy hardly seemed fazed past the fact that a man had suddenly appeared. He prepared to explain everything as best he could, but the other male simply turned back to the meal he'd been preparing. Jack was now very stumped by human behaviors, but the least he could do in return for his life being saved was help out.

"My name is Jack. Thank you very much for saving my life out there." He spoke more surely now, still afraid that he'd turn back into a wolf at any moment. It had been terribly unpredictable. He watched as his new companion created food, glad that there was at least fish from aquatic greenhouses. He was, for once, grateful to the scientists for educating him as well as they had. He carried the finished plate over to a small table and placed it down carefully, nodding as Gwyn introduced himself.

Jack allowed a smile to grace his human lips. Gwyn was incredibly kind and accepting, and Jack couldn't have asked for anything more. He sat near Gwyn at the table, his gaze wandering over the simple, yet delectable dish.

"I owe you so much, Gwyn. Thank you for everything." He took a bite, savoring the delicious flavors, and swallowed. It was good to eat real food again. "I'm quite an alien here. I was engineered in a lab on the ground, where they discovered me as a wolf and somehow gave me this human form. I'm not quite sure why I am here, but I really wish to return home. I know it's awfully selfish of me, but would you like to accompany me? I'm in no shape to travel now, of course, but maybe some day..."

Jack looked off into the distance, staring through the windows and seeing red eyes. The canine robots. He returned the glare as the dog left. Hopefully it hadn't heard anything that would get him in trouble.
