[The bags are clearly hung high enough to be out of his way in this form.]

I took delight in hunting them. Chasing them. Making them fear the big, bad wolf until the merest whisper of a howl sent them fleeing and flinching at shadows.

They took my forest, but I made them pay dearly for it.

[pneumo]

...I'm sorry about your forest. [ Sascha slips down Bibgy's other side so he's properly in the middle, though his hands remain up and rested against the wolf's side as he gives him a very slow pet. He's only ever know one home, and for a very short period of time before it was no longer a place he could stay because of what he was.

He's not sure if he misses it, but he'd been happy there. It's probably much worse for Bigby. ]

[bb_wolf]

[Big resents it, even now. They forced him from his forest, because however many he killed and drove off, there were always more and he couldn't outnumber an army on his own.]

It was a long time ago. Centuries. But I still miss it. We'll take it back one day.

[pneumo]

After you finish here?

[ He'll leave, and then Sascha will have to find someone else to sleep atop once he's gone. ]

[bb_wolf]

[Big shrugs.]

Thing about being immortal? You don't have to rush to do things. We're preparing, slowly.

[pneumo]

And carefully right? You'll be careful? [ Please :c ]

[bb_wolf]

It's war, kiddo. There is no careful. It will be bloody and violent. There will be losses.

But their soldiers still cower when they hear my name. I'll be fine.

[pneumo]

Well, you are pretty scary. [ Sascha gives his side a few more long strokes before he lies his head against him again. ] And big.

[bb_wolf]

The biggest.

[And he refuses to let anything less than the king of winds put him down for good.]

If you're going to try that brush thing, you better do it now while I'm too relaxed to care.

[pneumo]

Oh...! Right! [ Excuse him while he quickly pulls that out then, leaning back. ] Tell me if it....tickles, I guess? Or itches.

[ Or does anything at all, you know.

[bb_wolf]

[Big gives a chuckle, heavy head sinking and he stretches as much as he can to let Sascha try.

Seriously, those brushes struggle with long haired, regular dogs. It never stood a chance against Big's pelt. It's barely scratching the surface.]

[pneumo]

[ It is 100% completely ineffective against his pelt, it's true. But Sascha's still trying for at least a minute or two before he winds up with nothing but bits of dense, rougher outer fur. ]

Guess it really isn't enough... Your fur is way too powerful for this.

[bb_wolf]

Yup.

[Which is exactly what he had said. But he let Sascha try.]

My claws can do it but...

[He stretches out a paw and flexes his claws. They're not dog claws. Dog claws aren't that sharp or as long as a man's forearm.]

[pneumo]

[ They are gigantic claws and for a moment Sascha just stops to stare, eyes wide. ]

......Holy moly.

[bb_wolf]

[Big yawns slightly. His claws aren't as big as his main fangs, but they're always more unexpected.]

[pneumo]

[ Everything here is unexpected and Sascha actually drops his brush at this point, actually moving closer to that giant maw--he isn't as worried Bigby will just snap him in two after getting that lecture, but he also doesn't go just reaching for him either. ]

Your teeth are huge...!

[bb_wolf]

[He's obliging. Arguably, too obliging, because he opens his mouth slowly to let Sascha examine those fangs. Not wide, but the top lip twists up and he exhales slightly.

Minty fresh. Minty and cool.]

[pneumo]

[ It's not at all the sour, leftover meat smell he'd been expecting, and with a small start he recoils, only to lean in a little as he gives Bigby a nice good scratch under the chin. ]

Whoa, haha! It smells great too...! I totally expected something gross.

[bb_wolf]

[Big snaps his jaw shut to allow the chin rubbing before sinking back down and speaking.]

I brush my teeth. You should too, or you'll attract scavengers.

[pneumo]

You mean cavities?

[bb_wolf]

No, I mean flies.

[pneumo]

Ewwwwwww...

[bb_wolf]

Exactly. Clean your teeth. Especially since you eat raw meat.

[pneumo]

Okaaaay~ [ Scritch Scritch ]

You must use a big toothbrush.

[bb_wolf]

[Aaaand there goes the moment. Big slaps Sascha upside the head with his tail.]

I do it in my human shape.
