Unless that kindness is a cover for something else. I'm assuming the idea has occurred to you too.
[ Besides, how many Fables have something of a reputation for presenting themselves as friendly at first glance, only to reveal much more sinister intentions underneath that well-meaning facade? Some of the most famous stories that they feature in contain villains who disguise themselves as heroes, evil queens who pretend to be kind-hearted. Snow herself knows the terrible truth that can hide in plain sight almost more than anyone, considering her past.
But she doesn't want to accuse Methuselah of having bad intentions without anything to point to as proof, and she doesn't want her own history to influence any preconceived notions, either. It's more telling, at least, that she's relying on Bigby's assessment to inform her next steps here, but if anyone has a strong sense of being able to sniff out the truth, it's the wolf standing in front of her now. ]
I don't know. I'm just... so tired. [ She chuckles hollowly, briefly reaching up to sweep a few strands of dark hair back from her forehead. ] Remember when we thought the most we'd have to deal with was trying to get Fabletown back on track, after everything?
