[Bigby helps by flicking condensation from his beer at her. He's a helper like that.]

[aigue]

[The biggest help!]

If you get any water on my fur there will be hell to pay.

[That is totally deadpan. Unlike him her human body isn't 100% human.]

[bb_wolf]

[He looks at her, levelly, and then very carefully flicks water at one big ear.]

[aigue]

[Said ear twitches as the water hits it, and Renart's expression grows annoyed. The kind of annoyed where you can tell she's debating picking a fight with him even though they'd destroy the place and she'd lose.

But then that would cause a lot of trouble she'd have to deal with, and that would be a bigger pain than she'd like.]

I thought this was supposed to be a meeting for immortals, not children.

[Not her best insult, sadly.]

[bb_wolf]

I know a poor bastard has been stuck as a child for the last three hundred years. Turns out you should be more specific than "real boy".

[He takes a swig from his bottle and jerks his head, indicating she should come and sit with him.]

[aigue]

[She huffs, after a moment standing and heading over to his table, dropping into the chair across from him. Wine bottle in hand, of course.]

Fairies aren't the most trustworthy things out there.

[bb_wolf]

Really aren't. We've got a small handful on Floor 13. And they're a handful.

[aigue]

Generic ones, or are there any I would have heard of? [Aside from Ms. Blue Fairy, maybe.]

[bb_wolf]

No big names. Most of them elected to go to the Farm, we get regular shipments of fairy dust from them.

Most of them were powerful, never showed up. Dunno if they're still living somewhere in the Homelands or fell to the Adversary and his Witch hunters.

[aigue]

Eugh, witch hunters. Every world could do with a purge of those things.

[bb_wolf]

Fucking traitor Hansel joined them. After he murdered his sister.

[Bigby makes a sound of utter contempt.]

[aigue]

What, really? Your Hansel would do that?

[bb_wolf]

Not 'would'.

Did.

[aigue]

What a bad brother.

[bb_wolf]

No shit. He ever shows his nose around home, I plan on chucking him down the Witching Well.

[aigue]

You had an actual witching well...?

[bb_wolf]

Yeah, back home. We have a Witching Cloak as well.

[aigue]

And what does that do?

[bb_wolf]

Flutters without a wind.

[aigue]

That sounds very pretty.

[bb_wolf]

Guess so. It's blue.

[And can teleport anyone wearing it anywhere in any world. Nothing major.]

[aigue]

[Of course not.]

I haven't heard of anything quite like that back home, though Beowulf had his sword.

[bb_wolf]

We have a lot of magic items tucked away. Those we could run with. I say we. I didn't.

Mirror survived. Which is both a blessing and a curse.

[aigue]

I don't suppose any of them ended up here with you, did they?

[bb_wolf]

You've got to be kidding. I was lucky to be dressed at the time.
