"Hey Snow" Bigby greeted as he joined her and TJ.
"Hello Bigby, how is everyone?" She asked.
"They're just being Fables, that's all. Beast is worried about Beauty, he has every right to be. He's on edge, hopefully he'll pull through, he's an important part of our group."
"Well I-" Snow began.
"-Hello Mr. Bigby" TJ said with a smile.
"Hey, um, kid, we're a little busy at the moment" Bigby said, waving the young toad aside. TJ's smile faded and he lowered his head sadly, his bug collection held limply between his fingers.
"Me and Bigby need to talk, TJ. How about you go check on your dad and I'll catch up to you later" Snow said warmly.
TJ's smile returned, his eyes gleamed as he stared at Miss Snow. "Ok" he replied happily, and walked away. Snow watched him go before looking at Bigby crossly. "You should really handle children better" she told him.
"I'm not good around kids" he said, taking out a cigarette packet and putting one in his mouth. He took the lighter out of his pocket, the orange flame glowed as the tip was lit. He clenched it with gritted teeth and huffed, exhaling from his nose and mouth, smoke circulating his head like grey halo.
Snow coughed, the smoke choking her lungs as she wafted it away with a wave of her hand. "I tried to get in contact with a few Fables by using the phone in that restaurant" she said, gesturing to said phone which he could just see through the restaurant window. "No such luck though" she said glumly. "Leading this group is going to be hard on you, are you willing to step up to do that?"
"I was willing to be Sheriff, I'm willing to lead this group of Fables." He told her confidently.
Snow nodded slowly "I can't believe we left Fabletown. When we all fled the Homelands we were all suppose to stick together, make sure no one was alone in this Mundy world. We had order, there was a lot of weight on your shoulders to maintain that. Now look at us, our community has fallen to pieces and we're all split up with no means with contacting others and I'm powerless to do anything"
"You've done your best"
"But is that enough?" Snow questioned Bigby's judgement.
"I hope so"
"This is only the first day, Bigby. We've got of hardships to face. Hopefully we'll see it through. Maybe everything will be ok" Snow said strongly.
The street laps on the side of the road began to go out, one by one, darkness began to fall all around them. The bright glow of the neon light above went out.
