[ The moment she makes a move to regain her personal space, the man's arms are dropped. It's hard, because a part of him wants to hold onto her, to make sure to keep her close where he knows she's safe, but.. if he's being rational about this, he knows that the Darkwalker would never strike that quickly in a row. She's safe even when she isn't in his arms.
(It's a little bit harder to convince his own heart of that fact, though.)
His body still seems tense after she pulls away, like he's alert and ready for anything. Indeed, he doesn't even move from his spot right in front of the door, like he is prepared to just block the entrance to this room for anything foul with his own body. But even though his body seems ready for a fight, his facial expression is still softened by traces of worry for her. ]
The worst one. [ He admits.
Sure, other threats here had been bad too. The wolves had been a pain. But all of those were manageable things, especially for a guy like Bigby, even with most of the wolf in him gone.
This is a different level entirely. It's something he can't do jack shit about right now. And that's terrifying. ]
No one here has found a way to stop it yet. [ It's not great news, but Snow has to know. If he can't protect her physically, he can at least equip her with all the knowledge she needs, right? ] It's like a local legend. It's as if it's like-- like us.

[ No, he thinks.
More like him. Snow was never a monster. ]
