big bad!!

With everything going on, it was hard to think that just hours ago--- Bigby was at some stupid, bigger version of prom. And that Meg was teaching him how to dance, and how there was this one moment---- a moment where for a second, he forgot who he was. Forgot he was the big bad wolf, forgot he was the sheriff, forgot about the missing persons and all there was Meg and----  Then that scream.  And now his hands were covering his face as he took a deep breath. He had to get people calmed down. It was a couple hours and he took a look through the crime scene. It was overkill. Someone knew him.  “So---” He began, taking a moment to pour himself a drink. “When did you arrive at the gala last night?” Interviews. His favorite.

“Listen. It’s been a rough day for everybody, okay? Let’s just--- shut up and calm down. No need for any bloodshed okay?” His arms are slightly raised, palms out as if that alone is a sign of mercy. Why he was breaking up this fight was beyond him---- he could have let it go on a little but that would be cruel. Cruel to him. Having to listen to this nonsense.

His head snapped towards her, eyes still that bright, flickering yellow that seemed to stop his prey dead in their tracks. His chest heaved and every muscle tighten and his bones almost cracked---- but he took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Bigby had to find a place in his mind where he was calm and not picturing ripping the Knave’s throat out.  “Sorry.” He mumbled as he opened his eyes, the normal color there. Not the scary big bad wolf--- “I. . . I just.” He shook his head and turned away from her for a moment before looking at the remains of the lamp on the floor. Fuck. He’d have to get a new one. It was the one of five things he had in this apartment.  “--- I know. But I just. . . I don’t want anything to happen to you.” He swallowed thickly not liking the way he felt like she could see everything. Not just like ‘being naked’ but seeing through him, into his very being.  It was kind of funny if one thought about it. “--- Looks like I need a new lamp.”
