Ah… no.

[ He looks a little abashed. As usual, he’s gotten a little… carried away. He can almost see Ray rolling his eyes from here. ]

Just a voracious reader as a child and young man. What it boils down to is that almost every system put into disorder will try to regain balance… but things can sometimes get more chaotic before that balance is achieved.

Like the wolves and the caribou. When there’s too much of one, the relationship becomes imbalanced, until it can regain equilibrium. Of course…

[ He looks troubled. Everything about the wildlife here troubles him. ]

… it seems badly out of balance here.

[ Alright, at least that does settle it in Bigby's mind as Fraser just being that smart. Not that it's a bad thing - even in a place like this, it's probably a good thing to have some people who have a little more hands-on smarts, and people who have more theoretical smarts. Maybe Fraser might be able to figure out entirely different things about this place than Bigby could, given Bigby's lack of knowledge of..

.. you know, whatever it was that Fraser was talking about before.

This metaphor, however? Bigby seems to grasp that one much easier, given that he is part of nature himself, part of its balance. (Or rather, considering everything he caused back home - its imbalance.) ]

I get it now. [ There's something vaguely grateful about the expression he shows the other. Not quite smiling, but the corners of his mouth do tug upwards just a little bit. ] Everything here is definitely way out of balance, if you'd ask me. I'm not sure if you've noticed yet, but there don't even seem to be many bigger animals out here. Both larger predator animals like wolves, and larger prey animals like deer or caribou-- They're very rare around here, even though there should definitely be more, given the size of the natural space.

[ And that means something is messing with the numbers. ]

I go out there often. I could let you know if I see anything that seems especially odd. [ Especially when Bigby is really good at looking at it from an animal's perspective, given that he.. is one.. ]

apologies for slow! fade this out for something fresh later?

[maintiensledroit]

I'd appreciate that. And, of course, consider the favor returned.

[ It's comforting to know there's someone he can discuss these things with, someone else who's familiar with the ways and behaviors of wild animals. Bigby might not be as used to this particular area as he is, but the man -- wolf -- clearly knows what he's talking about.

Diefenbaker gives Bigby's hand a last lick, then comes trotting back over to lie down at Fraser's side, apparently fully content in his new acquaintance. Fraser can't help it; he smiles, warm and amused and affectionate down at the wolf before he looks back up at Bigby. ]

I'm glad you and Dief met. I'm sure he'll be coming by to say hello more often, now.

yeah, that's fine! let's wrap it with this tag!

[bigbaddy]

Sure.

[ He doesn't even have to think before he says that. Bigby sure is reluctant to invite people over into his place here, but it's not like Dief is human.

That makes it way different. Beings like Dief are always welcome. ]

He can come over whenever, I won't mind. [ He's saying it to Fraser, but Bigby's gaze does travel down to where Dief is next to Fraser a moment later, just to make sure Dief gets that this offer is for him!! Because he's a special little boy!

(Bigby is definitely smiling a little bit too, but don't tell anyone.) ]
