The crazy hope that he won't be alone, even if this isn't wolf like him, for another. So Isaac lets the silence settle for a few moments, and then smiles, careful not to show his teeth.
"You don't smell like one of my kind, but you have the look. Transport?"
He doesn't expect a verbal answer, but he's confident he can read the wolf's body language well enough. The wolf can't be that alien that even that would be so radically different, right?
