[ It's been a long time since Snow has spared even the briefest thought to the evil that was originally responsible for driving them all from their home — for being the reason that they even had to found a Fabletown in the first place — but the mere notion that there could be something in this place more distinctly sinister than that is enough to make her repress a shiver all over again.
Her first instinct beyond that, one she dismisses before she can even dwell on it consciously, is to step into Bigby's space again, to let him hold her — somehow, the darkness seems like it's being kept at bay whenever he's near, like his very presence can keep the shadows scared enough to retreat. But even if she doesn't close the distance between them, lingering in his proximity allows her to regain some clarity on the situation, pressing those threatening fears back until she can think straight again. ]
Something like that only becomes stronger when it has the power of belief on its side.
[ And what better way to force belief on someone else than by asserting what it can do in the most terrifying way possible? But then Snow remembers something else about Bigby's words, something that prompts her gaze to snap up to his with muted alarm. ]
You said it kills people. What if it... someone else could be in danger, Bigby. And if it's still out there — [ Her panic rises anew before she can completely suppress it, eyes suddenly frantic with concern. ]
