[Please. Anything is possible with the power of the romantic bang. But again, that's not what this is about.
Hellboy's never told her much about his personal life - and she's never asked, more than happy to uphold the unspoken rule of 'do unto other as you would have them do unto you' - so the news comes as a definite surprise. Hellboy, a prince in his own right.
It'd be grounds for more teasing, if this conversation hadn't turned serious so quickly. Still, she can't help but comment on it, her voice lifting just a notch.]
So I take it you don't like being called Lord Hellboy.
[Alright, she's done, moving on. She's starting to feel uncomfortable prying any deeper so she takes a step back.]
But I hope you and Kida enjoy the time you two have here.
[However long that lasts, and regardless of what might come of it.]

[ His is the last door she comes to. It's late, the weight of the day settled on her shoulders. For someone who's never had to worry about the flow of time, the day seems to be escaping much too fast. By the time she knocks at his door, her hands are shaking. ]
Hellboy, it's me.
[ She wishes she could step inside without being hailed, but the doors here aren't made that way. Instead she has to wait, hands gathered together, shoulders drawn. She can't tell if she wants him to embrace her to if she wants to run. ]

[LORD HELLBOY... no...... thank you. Technically it would be Lord something else, anyway, but he's not about to give anyone his true name. Even people he trusts implicitly, like Riza. It's not a safe thing to throw around.]
That's what I'm trying to do, anyway. One day at a time.

[Hellboy's gotten used to Kida coming to his door late at night, though she usually texts him first. Asks him how he's doing, if he'd like to see her. The answer is always yes, obviously. But now, he's not sure -- something's off and something's wrong, and he's worried as he opens the door and looks down to her.]
What's wrong? [No hello, no how are you. He knows something has to be wrong.]
