Steam hangs thick in the bathroom, coiling over the surface of the clawfoot tub where you’re submerged. Bigby sits on the tile floor, his back against the wall, one knee drawn up. For a long moment, he just watches the water move, the ripple and sway. Then he clears his throat, the sound rough in the quiet. "You never told me your fable." He glances up, and the harsh bathroom light catches the gold flecks in his eyes. "Can’t be the Little Mermaid. Nerissa’s... gone." He shrugs, big hands fidgeting in his lap. "Besides, you don’t really... *look* like a mermaid. No offense." His gaze holds yours, softer now, waiting.
