[A wolf. He'd been expecting her to mention another person, or maybe a pet, but a wolf is sure not the answer he thought she might give. She has a wolf the size of a pony? As a pet, or a friend?
...Of course he probably has no room to judge after the cheetah incident.
So although his surprise does show on his face, it's more curious than anything else, and he definitely commits the name of both this woman and her wolf to memory. If Lyanna is saying the wolf answers to Lady, then perhaps she's friendly to those who know her name? Hopefully, at least, as he's had more than his fair share of large hostile creatures lately.
Also he likes dogs, so a friendly giant wolf is basically just a huge dog, right?
Right.]
Well met, Miss Snow. Commander James Fitzjames.
[The title may or may not mean anything, and certainly feels like it doesn't at the moment, but it's an almost automatic part of introductions at this point. And as for her question--]
I have yet to meet anyone I'd known before awakening here.
[And he's trying not to think too hard about whether that's a good or a bad thing. Still trying to find his balance is more than fair, if not an understatement, and much of that instability is because of how little it makes sense that he can be here at all.]
