Is it too much to hope when I ask if it could have been prevented Mr. Bigby...??

[huffnpuffs]

i'm sure you're not about to try and tell me how to do my job
that would be stupid
you're smarter than that, aren't you?

[emotive]

I'm asking out of concern. Mild, if it makes you feel better.

[huffnpuffs]

then i'll put it this way
could it have been prevented? yes
do i regret handling it how i did? no
i've had way worse than a sore neck in the past. i'll live

[emotive]

[huffnpuffs]

sometimes i don't

varying

[emotive]

[huffnpuffs]

it's woody
i literally know where he sleeps
he's not getting away, no need to rush after the shithead

[emotive]

Alright, alright.

I apologize, I'm obviously just out of my depth here.

[huffnpuffs]

[ rubs his face maybe still laying on the concrete, okay okay reign in the gruffness a little ]

don't be sorry
you're showing initiative
more than most people bother to do, trust me

I know I'm not one of your kind and that I probably shouldn't even be here

[Espers and magical things tend not to mix well after all, but with Ai Thao whose jobs are assigned by her elders, it was an inevitable thing that would happen.]

But no matter what's going on, I want to do my best!

[huffnpuffs]

[ She's sure eager, that's for sure. He wants to appreciate that, but the experienced cynic in him knows time will wear away at that one chip at a time.

Ah, well. ]

again, that's better than most

if you really want to be helpful, grab some extra strength painkillers and head to the alley behind the trip trap

[There is a reason she uses magic to seal off half of her power, tyvm. Reading people's minds 24/7 without a lid can be a downer!!

Seeing him ask for a modicum of help is kind of cheering her up a bit. Bigby Wolf was... scary. Yeah, he's scary, but it doesn't mean she can't pull her own weight.]

Alright. I'm coming on over then!
