She blinks in surprise and her head comes up just a bit. Did he just - he did.
But she can hear a heartbeat in him, and he doesn't smell dead ...he doesn't smell very human, either, now that she gathers enough of her thought processes to analyze those things. He smells like dog, a lot more than someone who just owns one.
She does know that there are other supernaturals than vampires and werewolves, but she's never encountered one (and noticed - they all seem to have their own kind of Masquerade) or heard much about them, only that they are out there. Mages, and... more.
So whatever this guy is, he's probably one of those others. She's not sure if it makes him more or less trustworthy, but at least she can try and keep up pretending to be a fox while still talking to him. Keep your words simple, Malin ...at least that part shouldn't be hard. She couldn't string together complicated thoughts right now if she wanted to.
