The gardens weren't really his place like they were Clark's, but they were the closest he could get to taking Wolf outside for a walk when the ship was in its travel phase. Being stuck inside metal walls day in and day out was enough to make him understand Wally's tendency to get stir crazy. And Wolf is still a wild animal at heart so Conner knows it's probably worse for him the longer they're stuck on board with no real outlet.

It's become a nightly ritual for him. He gets a book from the library and sits while Wolf gets some exercise and works out some of the energy he builds up over the day. And the chance to read on his own is nice. One of the things he never expected to miss as much as he does is college. He was learning things that Cadmus hadn't bothered to deem necessary, and at least if he keeps studying on his own he can keep up that little bit of defiance.

Except tonight is a little different, the sound of Loki's voice from the other side of the tree drawing him out of his book.

"Yeah, I'm here." He gets up and goes around so he's actually in view. "He can roam all he wants, he knows not to cause trouble."

Unlike some people. Gods. Whatever.

He accepts the implied commentary on his ability to cause trouble with a shrug, not at all denying it. He's Loki, as much role as name, and trouble is what Loki does.

"A very smart wolf, then, aren't you?" He drifts a little closer, eyeing Conner with curiosity. He does enjoy a bit of a challenge, and in this case, Conner represents something of a mystery. A slightly grouchy mystery, true, but Loki's met worse. Much, much worse.

At least Conner doesn't have terribly much unpleasant history with him... yet.

No time like the present to correct that, yes? Or perhaps prevent it. It's always hard to tell which it's going to be. Sometimes people don't like him, sometimes they do.

"Aren't you bored, out here so late and alone? Or are you one of life's silent, solitary types?"

"I keep myself occupied since Wolf needs the exercise." Hence the books. That and the long off hope that he might eventually get back home and continue his college classes. Learning the old fashioned way felt more like an accomplishment than having all the information downloaded into his brain.

Which wasn't the answer to Loki's question, not really. It's hard to figure where he stands with him. Conner's not fond of liars in general but there's something interesting about him that keeps him from telling him to buzz off.

Not that it'd work for long.

"I'm not alone right now," He says. "Since you're here."
