That said, she could readily tell he was going to be a handful in the sense of having charm and good looks to his advantage — the kind of kid who no doubt would prove to be a headache to his mom from time to time but flash a smile endearing enough to get out of trouble at every available opportunity. It's unclear whether that tendency will serve him well here or only land him in deeper trouble, but the worst thing either she or Bigby can do now is leave him to completely fend for himself.
"Better at... what? Talking to younger people?" She shrugs once, even though she takes the compliment with a brief smile flitting over her features. "Most kids just don't want to be talked down to. You have to meet them on their level. And I feel like you're pretty good at assessing the truth of someone even before they open their mouth."
