[Hellboy watches Kida's hands, how comfortable she is with the knife. There's something very domestic about this scene, something that makes him feel very close to her. Their shared connection to the Golden People has made him feel connected to her from the start, on some primal level he can't really express, but this is closeness in a different way.
He's quiet when she speaks, feeling a little dumb now for talking about Atlantis like it would be a great place for him to visit just minutes ago. Is she ashamed of how fall her people have fallen since their glory days? He knows she hasn't lost hope, just from how passionately she can speak about her home, but when she speaks like this, it's hard not to wonder.]
Hey. [He steps a little closer, his flesh hand searching for something in one of the pouches on his belt. She took his coat, but he carries some things closer to his person.] There's something I wanted to give you...
[He finds it, eventually, and holds it out: a coin-sized medallion. It's silver, with an engraving of a bearded man reading a book. Below him are inscribed the words ST. JEROME.]
