Ned surfaces from the reverie with a soft, "Hmm?" It takes a few seconds for Hulk's question to sink in. "No, thank you," he says, touched by the offer even if the thought is a little...gross. From the sound of it, Hulk's been providing Tony with food of the lupine variety, which Ned thinks is probably good. Hopefully it will keep him from attacking any other people. Though...

"One of the wolves is different from the others. He would be smaller and a lot nicer. He's my friend and I'd be very sad if anything happened to him. Can you ... please be careful not to feed him to Tony?" he requests, resting his head against the Hulk's side. Better safe than sorry. Ned hasn't crossed paths with Jesse in a few days, and he isn't sure the Hulk will be able to tell the difference between a werewolf and a dire wolf.
