[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.

[pneumo]

Ow. [ Hit! But he doesn't seem too frazzled by it as he rubs the side of his head. ]

I guess that'd make more sense...

[bb_wolf]

This is I why I call you an idiot. Because you don't stop and think.

[pneumo]

Soooooorry~~~ Hehe. [ Salute!! ]

[bb_wolf]

No! Don't apologise, just stop doing it. You're not sorry, so don't say it. Just take a second to think.

[pneumo]

Okay, okay...! [ Hands up in surrender this time. ]

I just thought a giant toothbrush would be funny.

[bb_wolf]

Better.

[He huffs again, a bit harder.]

It's ridiculous. I don't even have opposable thumbs like this.

[pneumo]

Oh yeah... [ This thought never even occurred to him. ] That would make holding the brush way harder.

[bb_wolf]

[Big sighs again. His breath rushes the room like a strong breeze.]

Not impossible. But fucking hard.

[pneumo]

[ It's cool and refreshing (if a little cold), and probably the best breath he's ever smelled in his long, long life. Really. He's got no complaints and even makes a pleased sound as it wafts over him, sighing. ]

Do all wolves own toothbrushes then?

[bb_wolf]

[He's keeping it tame.]

Stop. Think about what you just asked.

Do you think most wolves own toothbrushes?
