[Barabas looks about as thoughtful as someone can look in some half-animal half-human form, considering.]

Let's put a pin in the option that involves traumatic head injuries for now.

[There's a lot going on here, that much is definitely true. But Hank is a friend, and Barabas, despite the snark, isn't the type to just shrug and leave a friend to deal with whatever trouble has landed in their lap.]

But honestly, we might be able to help each other here. [He offers, considering.] I've sniffed out what I can and done my share of breaking and entering. I'm not going to be able to hold this form that much longer anyway. I meant what I said, coming out of shift, especially a warrior form shift, is going to leave me exhausted. I'd rather be exhausted with company than alone on this probably haunted disaster ship.

[Probably definitely haunted.] And I can tell you all about my unexpected two-year or two-days -- depending how you count it -- trip home.
