[ first off: don't ask questions about the username. Bigby assumes it's subtle enough considering no one here knows him as the Big Bad Wolf, but he doesn't really... realize... the implications of the abbreviation he chose. oh well.

there's more pressing matters to attend to. ]

Not even here a goddamn month and shit goes to hell. Because of course. So much for peace.

[ on camera is a man who doesn't seem very pleased with the current chaos of the recent bombing. a moment is given to take a drag of his cigarette between words, blowing a puff of smoke straight towards whoever is watching. ]

I need information on the fugitives. Don't care if you're best friends or you've crossed paths with them once. Backgrounds, real names, affiliations, common hangouts. Also addresses on where they live. Give me a scent to work with and they'll be found.

[ another inhale of nicotine before he smothers the embers on a nearby surface. he's still as displeased as five seconds ago. ]

Also don't really care if they're in deep with this Shady Fucker or just a matter of "wrong place, wrong time". They have questions to answer one way or another. Got a problem with that? Take a wild guess on how I feel.

[ Angel hadn't even considered asking for money, after all her "help" back home came for "free" she still wasn't used to independence and its responsibilities. ]

I do not have an hourly rate but...I need some place in El Nysa to stay occasionally, though I won't be there often and do not have much.

Say what.

[ he wasn't. expecting. that as a request. money is easy. Bigby can work with money. Angel is asking for something much more personal, and he sucks at personal.

it takes a moment for him to follow up. ]

... Have we even exchanged names, yet? Mine's Bigby.

[ yes, he is stalling. leave him alone. ]

Sorry, was that jumping the gun a bit?

[ It's just that, while money is good, it still won't teach her how to live on her own. How to manage even a small apartment by herself. She needs money eventually, but she needs this more. ]

Oh, right. Of course...I'm Angel.

Maybe a tad. [ he isn't going to give her shit, though. she implies that she doesn't have a home as is, which tugs at strings that Bigby likes to pretend he doesn't have. ] I'm guessing you're sleeping where you can right now? Jesus, kid.

[ how the hell he found a "home" before she did will baffle him beyond all belief. he scratches his stubble as he growls in inevitable defeat. ]

Might be easy to tell, but I'm not exactly the easiest roommate to have.

Yes, at the moment I spend my nights on Thesa. I would still be spending a lot of time there, but it would be helpful to have somewhere I can store the few items I have, or rest if I am planet side. You will hardly know I'm there.

[ As for his "not so easy a roomate claims? ]

...Believe me, you will be a far cry from the worst person I have had to live with.

[ And then a quick follow up ]

Sorry, that was callous. I'm sure you are a lovely roommate, is what I meant.

I'm pretty sure I'll know you're there.

[ he didn't even like letting a pig stay at his apartment before, Angel. it's certainly not something he was ready for. is letting her stay worth the information? that's a question he is still juggling. time to delay more. ]

Are you sure about that? I... snore. And I don't pick up after myself. [ lies, but he has to try! ] You might like it better off in space or whatever. Far, far away from me.

[ is it working? is he scaring her off yet? no? fuck. ]

[ Angel understands what he's doing pretty quickly, but remains persistent. Aside from this being an actual need, it would benefit her to be so close to the person actively tracking her friends, give her the best intel to send back to Rocket.

There's a bit of a smile to her voice when she responds though, as if something as innocuous as snoring could begin to compare to the downsides of her previous dwellings. ]

Really. Nothing you say could be worse than how I previously...where I previously lived. Besides, it still takes some time to travel from the drop off point from the teleporters, what if there is a sudden break in the case? It would be easier for you if I was close by.

Fucking― you're a persistent one, aren't you?

[ he would have much more colorful words to use towards someone asking the same thing of him that hasn't been kind. maybe that persistence is why Bigby isn't seeing through her words and noticing the ulterior motives. maybe it's because she still needs a home on El Nysa regardless. must be a win-win situation for her. ]

Alright, alright. I'm not about to convince you to change your mind, so if that's what you want... then deal.

[ there's no way he is coming out of this situation not regretting everything ever. ]

Great!

[ But in Angel's persistence and enthusiasm she had forgotten one very, very, essential question. ]

Erm...Where do you live?
