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?

[pneumo]

....................... [ Sascha stops. And thinks about what he just said. ]

Nnnn....ooo?

[bb_wolf]

So why did you ask me, when the answer is pretty apparent?

[pneumo]

Well because you're not a wolf all the time!

[bb_wolf]

And how many wolves are humans part time?

[pneumo]

Well...none, until I met you. You're the first one who'll let me come hear. [ Which he admits without much sheepishness, reaching out to work a hand into Bigby's fur and give him a scratch. ]

[bb_wolf]

Because you're a predator and they know it. It just doesn't work on me. You're not a predator of something like me.

[Unsaid. Big has no predators. If he finds something bigger than him, he kills it and eats it. If it attacks.]

[pneumo]

[ And that's probably why he's so impressive and cool, and Sascha listens to him. Even if he listens to anyone that yells at him. ]

You'd chomp me in half if I tried! Haha.

[bb_wolf]

[That will start changing. With any luck.]

Nah. I might take off an arm.

Or kick you out of sleeping here.

[pneumo]

--!! Not the second one! [ An arm he can do without. It'll only come back anyway. But a giant, fluffy sleeping companion? No. He's not going to lose that. ]

[bb_wolf]

[Big makes a sound. It's confirmed what he knew.]

I'm going to sleep now.

[pneumo]

Okay... [ Welp, that means brush time is over, however... ]

Can I pet you a little longer? I'll be quiet.

[bb_wolf]

[Big lets out a breath, but it's not a sigh, just him relaxing.]

Yeah, okay. If you're quiet.

[pneumo]

Not a peep♥ [ If only he can just keep stroking along the side of Bigby's beautiful 'mane' area, revelling in the feel of the soft coat under his hands.

He's never not going to adore this. ]

[bb_wolf]

[It speaks volumes of either how much of a not-threat Sascha is, or how much Big trusts him that before long, he starts making soft, snuffling sounds, fast asleep.]
