Bigby will remember that. Her birthday is coming up after all. Maybe he could even look into dried something-or-other. Surely there's some kind of Pokémon around that's like cuttlefish—

His ears suddenly flick. He's getting ahead of himself.

"They're... definitely a lot more than what other people have, yeah," he mutters. Not a lot of them could boast having thumbs and pockets, even if her other comment makes him slump slightly. He's not going to let it get to him too much this time. Finishing his own snack, he stretches a bit before starting to brush the dirt off his fur.

"I've been training since I got here. If I'm going to be stuck like this, I should at least know how to handle myself." He glances at her for a quick second, only to look back down at one of his paws. "But I have some experience from back home too. Just... part of my job."

"Yeah... I shouldn't use my inexperience as an excuse to avoid battling. Thanks for showing me how to defend myself."

Seeing a Morpeko hold out against larger and stronger foes, it motivates her to want to do the same! Bigby is setting a good example, it seems.

"Oh, what kind of job was it? I don't really know much about where you're from."

Since they were all done here, and the other teams have successfully warded off the Floettes, there's no reason to linger around if Bigby wants to brush off Mayaka's nosy questions.

"Just know when to pick your battles, and you'll get used to it," he adds with a gentle tone. Something about teaching a kid how to protect herself feels right somehow, almost like he's actually a pack animal. Funny that.

Talking about his job though doesn't quite hit the same way though. As much as he doesn't want to get into it, he's too earnest not to.

"I'm a sheriff." He's sure that might conjure up cowboy imagery, but he's quick to put a stop to that. "Gotta take care of a whole community back in New York, including dealing with people who don't really want me around."

There's more to it than that for the Big Bad Wolf, but that's the part he'll avoid for now. He motions for her to follow.

"C'mon. Let's get going. We should get some real treatment."

good to wrap!

Does New York City have sheriffs? She's only really heard of sheriffs of the Wild West variety, so this is news to her.

"Alright, Sheriff B-chan!" Mayaka says with a laugh before following after the Morpeko.
