[molotov]

[Sometimes, losses strike at odd times. Of day, that is.

Molotov's afternoon nap went as normal. It was only when she woke up that it was different. She was different.

When she was a little girl before, Molotov never went to the town. So now she's lost. Not scared, but lost. The town is pretty, though, and really that's enough for a six-year-old to stay entertained. There's lots of windows to look through, and a fountain to play in, and birds to chase.

But she needs to get home to the castle eventually…]

[That's okay, because Hellboy didn't even recognize her until she said that. In fact, he stares at her for a long second afterward, until it finally clicks.

Damn.]

I lost it.

[molotov]

I can make you another one.

[hellshaped]

Maybe later. Should you be out here by yourself? Are you lost?

[molotov]

Um, I woke up alone in a place, and then I came outside.

[hellshaped]

Well, you should definitely not be wandering around by yourself. I'll take you back to the castle.

[molotov]

But I want to see the things in this place!

[hellshaped]

It's pretty boring out here. There's just shops and stuff.

[molotov]

I like shops. Is there ice cream somewhere?

[hellshaped]

I could take you to an ice cream shop, sure. But then you either have to stick with me or let me take you to the castle, okay?

[molotov]

Okay!

[She reaches out for his hand.]

[hellshaped]

[Babies....... he holds out his flesh hand because otherwise lol awkward.]

What kind of ice cream do you want?

[molotov]

[Yes yes, hand-holding now.]

The swirly kind, with sprinkles and chocolate and gummy bears.

[hellshaped]

Yeah? Did you want to try grown-up ice cream? We could get gelato or frozen yogurt.

[molotov]

What is jelloto?

[hellshaped]

It's like ice cream, but it's a little more fancy. It's softer and has more flavor.

[molotov]

Can they put sprinkles on it?

[hellshaped]

You know what, I dont know. We could ask.

[molotov]

Yeah, yeah, da!

[hellshaped]

Alright, then let's go.

[Just a big demon guy holding hands with a little girl as they go to get gelato, nbd.]

[molotov]

Will you teach me how to make more sign languages while I am here?

[hellshaped]

[He smiles at her -- but just a little. His smiles are kind of scary.]

I forgot about that. Sure, I can teach you some letters.

[molotov]

[She is unafraid, and smiles back.]

How to spell my name again? I forgot.

[hellshaped]

[He nods!]

Sure, I can teach you that. I can teach you how to spell mine, too. Some of the letters are the same, so it should be easy.

[molotov]

Like "L"!

[hellshaped]

And "O". [she remembered his name after all!]
