[He watches Kida relax, and he does too. In all his years, he's only met one woman who was able to look past the skin and the horns and the tail and everything else to see who he is inside, so it's not like this comes as a particular surprise. He's just glad she was gentle about it, though knowing Kida, he wouldn't have expected her to be cruel anyway.
It would be a weird Look Who's Coming to Dinner scenario, he's sure; they're indentured to ALASTAIR until they collect enough energy to send themselves home, so it's not like she'd ever have to take him home to her parents, but he can't imagine the King of Atlantis would approve of a half-human suitor.
He's about to make a joke about this, self-effacing humor always his go-to when things get weird, but then Kida's there -- closer, her fingers moving, pressing against him. Hellboy's eyes widen just a little, because he is now realizing he misunderstood. Or... something? He isn't really sure what's going on right now; his hand automatically responds to her touch, sliding over to rest on the small of her back.]

Maybe I don't understand as much as I thought.
