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. ]

[ That last part, that is. Sure, Bigby has no idea about what Ruby's world is like, but.. surely there has to be someone else who could stand up and do all of the stuff she's doing, right? Is there no one else in an entire world who knows how to fight?
Granted, maybe he isn't in the best position to argue about that, given his lack of knowledge.
But.. ]
Even here?
[ Look, Ruby. He's clearly out here fighting to keep the town safe too, isn't he? ]

She wanted to believe but she wasn't a hundred percent sure.]
I don't know, really.
I've seen what happens when they don't. And- I think I'm scared of not doing anything, and seeing a place fall apart again.
no subject
Look, I get that it sounds nuts coming from me. [ You know, the still-transformed wolf guy with blood all over his mouth and shirt at this point. Not exactly the most wholesome figure ever. ]
But you just have to trust the people here a little. You can't let your shit experiences back home color everything here. This place is fucking annoying in some ways, but maybe in others it's better than the place you come from.

The thing that does catch her off guard is the content of the advise. It sounded so simple and familiar. She was really surprised it hadn't come out of her own mouth. Was she really that off her game here?
There's a moment where she looks to the ground and contemplates it before she looks up to him again.]
You're right. That does kind of sound nuts coming from you.
Maybe I should try saying it in a mirror instead.
I didn't mean to put us in danger here- I didn't mean to not trust you, I mean.
no subject
[ About that last part, anyway. Bigby sounds a little tired as he says it, because he knows the fault doesn't lie with her, as much as it lies with whatever fucked up systems back in her own world that pushed her to think like this in the first place.
Guess things really are shitty in multiple worlds, huh. It's not just shitty circumstances in the Homelands, it's not just mundies sucking in the regular world. People are like this anywhere.
But it's the people like Ruby that still make even the Big Bad Wolf hold onto some hope.
The man exhales, then he kneels a little. ]
C'mon, get on my back. [ Yes, you're getting a piggyback ride from Uncly Bigby, Ruby.. ] You're not walking back to town like this.
[ Never mind the weird sight they're going to be when they arrive back in town with Bigby covered in blood and Ruby on his back, but-- whatever. ]
