[ Honestly, he can't say she's necessarily wrong. It's the entire problem with this place. It's so hard to know anything for sure. At least back home he had some information to rely on - both from his senses and just the fact that they knew the community better, that they knew better what they were dealing with. But here? They don't have either of those things.
Methuselah could have nefarious intentions. He could also be well-meaning. Even though Bigby leans a little more towards the latter, he will easily admit it's hard, if not impossible to tell for sure.
Maybe it's why he doesn't say anything more about it right now.

He's not sure if his presence would make her feel safer after all of this, but he does know he would feel better if he could watch over her in the wake of that. Bigby is still feeling pretty shaky too. ]
