I need no thanks, but you are welcome all the same.
What you said... it is not dissimilar to how I might have felt a few times myself. Particularly when my worst self is all the more difficult to control.
My beast -- and I mean it quite literally -- never rests. Never slumbers. It is always there, in my skin, waiting for a moment of weakness. Some days... are all the more difficult for me.
Some others are not. Particularly with those who care for you.
That you do. And for me, 'twas something I also needed to learn myself. Albeit I've had comrades previously, I did not have the love of true friends until present here.

[he hesitates.]
That is...if you are willing. I've done you no favors already, reminding you of your own troubles.

It means...a little more. If there's some benefit for both of us.
Thank you, Bigby.

Reach out to me when you are ready. I will do what I am able, and I would like to learn more about you.
