Hellboy nods, acknowledging Xas' statement about angels not bothering men without comment. He has heard a thing or two about what angels were like in his world, and how they affected the world long ago, and that's not something he's in the mood to talk about right now. Besides, he notices Xas looking at his stumps, which gets a chuckle out of him as he reaches up and rubs at them.

"I got sick of smacking them into doorways," he says as though that explains everything. Anything more he might say about it is interrupted by a bleeping from his belt. "Really?!" he exclaims plaintively as he reaches into a pouch and retrieves his CiD, shaking his head at what he sees on the screen.

He puts the CiD away, then stands up and slings his sword onto his back. "So much for my afternoon off. Listen, this has been kind of weird, but I should be used to that by now. It's nice to have met you anyway." He extends his left hand to shake. "I got to get going, but maybe I'll see you around."
