She seems angry about this. Not towards him - Bigby isn't thick enough to not grasp that part - but it's still baffling to him. The acceptance by itself was strange enough, but then this on top of it? He wonders if maybe it's because no one ever really believed her, since he can't imagine anyone getting this angry about this purely on his behalf.

(So he may have a few problems with self worth, ssh, sue him.)

".. I see."

Not exactly the most helpful or graceful answer, but saying anything at all right now takes quite a bit out of the man. It's baffling, okay! He's trying to cope!

But as surprising as her answer is, he does find himself feeling grateful for it. And he'd kind of feel like an asshole if he didn't at least say something about that when she's saying something this big to him, no matter how bad he is at this whole social thing. So..

"And, uh.." He moves up a hand, rubs at his neck. "Thanks for saying that, I guess. You seem pretty alright too."

Bigby Wolf: truly a master of words.

(This is him trying, I promise.)
