Bigby
He took his cup of coffee from her with a nod of thank you and walked to his desk. He took a long sip of his hot coffee. He was pretty much at the Mayor's beckon call 24/7 and there had been a fight at the Rat King's strip club last night, Candyland, that he had had to deal with. He was on the tired side but it wasn't like missing sleep was going to kill him. There were only a few things that could kill a fable as strong as Bigby and sleep deprivation was not one of them. He finished his coffee in silence and printed out some forms on his computer. His office had been one of the last to use computers as he was wary of technology but what the Mayor wants the Mayor gets. He got up, leaving his cup behind and walked over to Ash.
"Here's the inventory forms...bring a few pens..."
He said knowing it would be a long day and a lot of ink. He began the long process of opening the vault door which included three keys, and a fingerprint. When it was open, he ushered her inside and closed it behind them both.
"This is one of the safest places in fabletown...only two people have the ability to get in this vault, me and the Mayor. If anything major were to happen, this is where I would hide women and children."
He commented mostly to himself. Inside the vault was huge with several rooms, most of which had their own special keyed locks on them. Ahead was a cage with a magical padlock on it. Bigby got to it and whistled a tune and it opened in response. The cage inside was much bigger than it looked from the outside. Bigger than most people's houses in the suburbs. It was filled with objects of all sorts. Lamps, carpets, books of spells - all sorts of things.
"Let's get started."


Elisa
She leaned down and then got all the way on the floor with him and wrapped her arms around him. She had missed him more than she had let herself feel in a long time. And here he was, hugging her and sobbing on her bathroom floor. She rocked back and forth with him as he sobbed, to soothe him.
"It's okay. We're together now, Tate."
She said, rubbing his back. Then suddenly and not all together unexpectedly, she began to cry too, not as hard as him, because the wall she had built up around her emotions after loosing him was just very slowly coming down.
