Who: Bigby and you!
What: If there are animal tracks anywhere in the area, you know the big dog's got to chase them down.
When: During April.
Where: First prompt outside the populated areas towards the rockier areas in the wild, second prompt back in Milton.
Content Warnings: Nothing in the log itself, if anything comes up in a thread there will be a warning in the header!
( 1. outside town )
[ Maybe you decided to go along with Bigby out on a little trip - or maybe he invited you along, if he knows you. Maybe you even came out here by yourself, and Bigby ran into you.
Either way, you're standing here now together, out in the rockier area between the mining camp and the ravine - staring down at some tracks in the snow. Even if the fog constantly hanging around is making visibility more of a problem, at least it's still very much possible to just look down and stare at the rather feline tracks in the snow. ]
See? [ Bigby points out to you. ] This is what I was talking about. I haven't seen this here before, but.. judging by the looks of it, that's got to be one big cat.
[ More than just a cat, really. That's why the man's eyebrows are drawn together into a concerned frown as he stares at the tracks, but then looks back up and over at you. ]
It's usually not been a good thing when new tracks appear around here.
( 2. in milton )
[ Running around in the wilds seems to have done very little for actually managing to find whatever animal is out there.. and instead seems to have done a whole lot more to Bigby himself.
After all, with the weather being the way it is, it feels incredibly exhausting to be out there. Let alone going out day after day, since he's so determined to find that thing. And between that and everything that's been happening the past few months, and the stress of the situation and the worries about the Darkwalker..
.. well, Bigby isn't doing so great.
It might become obvious when you see him coming back into Milton after another day of futile tracking. It's like he has to drag his feet to keep on moving as he's walking across town to head back to his place, lines of exhaustion visible in his face. But apparently he's not exhausted enough to no notice someone staring at him, since he'll lift his head to look over at you after a few moments, noticing you there. ]
.. Is something up?
[ For once he doesn't even sound gruff as he's saying it.
Bigby just sounds tired. ]

no subject
She blinks, once, at his answer, only because she's lost in her own reverie long enough that she has to think back on what he's just suggested and put the words into the proper order for her mind to comprehend them, but then she nods, hurriedly, a few times. ]
Oh, sure. I can do that.
[ Now that she's thinking about it — about this, and nothing else — she realizes it's actually a better idea. She can make sure he's getting a few hours of shuteye under her watch, and if he wants to have her there until he feels relaxed enough to sleep, then they'll both get something out of it. ]
But I'm not going to leave right after you fall asleep. I'm staying until later tonight, at least. Deal?
no subject
[ Well. She's not even just giving him what he asked for, but even more than that. In fact, she's presenting it like something he'd grudgingly agree with, rather than something he desperately wants. Something that he regularly just doesn't ask for, because Snow isn't his woman. She doesn't owe him anything. She never will be. But not only is she granting him his request, she's even insisting on staying. No matter how rough of a guy Bigby can be, it feels like his heart makes little leaps at the sheer idea of her sitting by his side while he sleeps, of her caring.
The terrible thing is that Bigby knows he definitely can't show how eager he is for that. It'd give too much away.
So he momentarily ducks his head, as if to try and hide any slight shifts in his facial expression from her, and then he slowly exhales. ]
Well.. I know better than to think I can change your mind at this point, Snow.
[ She's stubborn. And, yes, sometimes that might be annoying when he'd like to just get things done his way. But Bigby would be lying if he didn't also like the way she's so determined and headstrong at the same time.
It - along with what she's granting him here - is the reason there's a small, tired smile on his face when he looks back up and over at her, apparently unable to fully hide it from her of all people after all. ]
So that sounds like a deal to me.
