[ When the other looks over at Bigby, he'll be able to see them nod in regards to the angel question. Truth to be told, Bigby never did get to ask what exactly Vash was. It was just obvious that he wasn't human, and he seemed too uncomfortable with it to say anything more than that about it, and Bigby respected that. It wasn't like Vash was going to hurt anyone, just because of what he was.
.. though his thoughts can't help but linger on that for a moment, even in the middle of the ache he feels in his chest when he thinks of Vash now.
Vash didn't want anyone to know what he was. He seemed so ashamed. It makes Bigby think of an encounter a while ago, in the forest. The blood Konstantin was throwing up. The things he said afterwards. They'd put you in a laboratory. Do tests, study you.
It's an inkling Bigby has had in his mind since that day. The thought that it's likely Konstantin's condition wasn't just medical. Not in the plain old human sense, anyway. He hadn't wanted to confront the other about it back there, given how vulnerable Konstantin had been, and given the chance the other lashing out, but..

He didn't want people to know he wasn't human. [ He says, slowly. His gruff tone thankfully mostly masks the thought that he might means a little bit more with his words.
But he does. He's saying them to Konstantin specifically, and for a reason. ]
He was terrified what it'd make people think of him. Of what would happen to him, if people knew. He didn't even want to tell me, even though he knew I wasn't some regular human either.
