[ He turns back towards the two of them when they speak up, managing to tear his gaze away from the sight outside - but he can still see the dark, ominous color from the corner of his eye all the same. ]
Usually the sky clears up when the feeling disappears. When the Darkwalker leaves.
[ He figures that maybe Snow might remember it too from last time - though it's not like she really had the chance back then to look outside a whole lot, with Bigby having rushed over and having urged her to go back to sleep.. Maybe she figures that the darkness takes a little bit longer to clear. And Connor-- Shit, it's even the first time he's been here while the Darkwalker showed up in the first place, isn't it? ]
It's what happened last time, Snow. And the time before it too, before either of you two were here. It's only supposed to linger for a few moments, and then disappear along with the Darkwalker itself. But even though that thing's gone, its darkness still lingers.
[ Bigby exhales a breath so deep that it sounds like a sigh. He does still look weak on his feet as he's standing there, like he could just drop over at any moment, but-- he can't allow himself to do that. He has to be strong for them, even though he's still not fully recovered yet from what happened to him. He especially has to be strong in the face of whatever the hell is going on now. They have to be able to rely on him. ]
I don't know what it means that it didn't disappear this time around, but-- yeah, it's likely bad. We need to prepare to defend ourselves. [ Don't think he didn't see you scoot closer to Snow there, Connor. Bigby doesn't have the full picture, since he doesn't realize the family connection that's there - he just figures that it's because Connor is like him, figuring Snow has been around in their house for long enough while taking care of his injuries that she's part of the pack now, even to Connor. Atta, boy. He's proud of you. ]
