Rorschach abruptly went into something between a choking fit and actual laughter upon hearing Bigby had once been a puppy. Yes, he was absolutely trying to picture the scruffy. tough-looking man before him as an adorable wolf pup and finding a level of hilarious absurdity in the idea. The only stray thought that came through was "A puppy..." with that exact emphasis on the words.

It took him a while to recover enough to speak. "Of course. Makes perfect sense," Rorschach said in such a dull tone that it was impossible to tell if hearing that had strengthened Bigby's claims for Rorschach or diminished them. At least it certainly was a creative way to explain the hole he'd seen in the wolf's background.
