He's still a little baffled, but considering she still seems to be mostly hiding in there, Bigby decides he should probably say that first. Try to reassure her, if she was terrified enough to be hiding in there.
"It's safe. You can come out, if you want." The man squats down next to the chest, indeed actually being able to see her eyes. When he spots just how terrified she is, he tries to soften his own usually gruff facial expression a little bit. He's not very good at it, but he's trying. The last time he wants to do is terrify an already scared person even more.
He doesn't mind letting her know more about the Darkwalker, but.. well, he figures that breaking that news slowly and gently is probably the best way to go. If he says it all at once now, she might never want to leave her hiding spot ever again. Best to see if she's willing to come out of it a little first.
