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. ]

It only means Bigby will have to work even harder to make sure they can finally find some way out of this place. So everyone can go to where they're meant to be, see the people they missed.
He quietly listens to Kieren speak of the girl, and by the time he reaches those final words, even Bigby smiles - or, well, almost. It's tugging at the corners of his lips, that's for sure. ]
You're lucky to have each other. I'm glad.
[ Especially when it does seem like Kieren could use all the support he can get. If his family is at least good to him, then-- that's good. ]
I have brothers too, y'know. A whole bunch of 'em. Never understood any of them though, so it sounds like it was very different for you and Jem back home.
no subject
[ He'll never stop being sorry for that. He didn't even leave a note. He just... left. And after days of being missing, after already being dead — Jem was the one who spoke up. Who told their parents of where she thought he might be. He hates himself so much for doing that to them. To his parents, to Jem.
His head dips for a moment. Things are better now, but for a long time they weren't. They're still— still a little precarious. But it's better. ]
I dunno, maybe you just need to work out what it is to understand them. It's not always easy.
no subject
[ It's him downplaying a whole lot of stuff, but really - he's not going to give Kieren all that baggage. It seems like the kid has enough of his own to carry around with him already, especially right now.
He reaches out a hand to give Kieren's shoulder a squeeze. It's a little awkward, like he isn't used to the physical contact, but the intentions behind it are genuine. ]
But now we have a reason to make sure you stay alive here, right? You have to go back and see your family again once we find a way back to our homes.
think maybe we can start to wrap this one? ;u;
An optimist with depressive tendencies, Amy once pointed out.
His head dips a little at the shoulder squeeze, nodding slightly. Shy with the contact, but appreciative of what Bigby's trying to do. Yeah, it's a little awkward. But it's okay. ]
Yeah. Yeah— [ He's got a point. He has to get back home. He has to get out of this place. ] ... Thanks, Bigby.
[ There's a little huff, almost humourous. ]
Hey, I'm the one bringing you coffee since you need a break— not the other way round, yeah?
yes! we can wrap it with this, or you can give it another tag if you want!
Still.. ]
Maybe we could all use a little bit of a rest. [ With all the weird shit going on. Sure, the wildcats aren't the worst thing they've endured, but Bigby is still a little worried about them encroaching on the route between here and Lakeside. It's going to cause trouble when people travel back and forth. ] Which I will get-- Once I'm done dealing with those things out there.
[ He holds up the mug. ]
The coffee's helping, though.
