She considered closing on Jonus quietly, so as not to wake him if he were in
fact sleeping, but she had spent far too much time on Terra Nova not to
understand most people's reactions when they are startled by a GREL, sneaking
up on them.
So, instead of risking frightening the man, she continued towards the hangar,
not making any effort to hide her footfalls, nor going out of her way to make
any more sound than usual. As she approached, however, she did slow a bit,
giving Jonus time to wake, if he was indeed sleeping.
