About midday, a call goes out on the Hellsing filter from Dean, setting this thing up.

By mid-afternoon, with help, there are a couple of grills going, crabs on the boil, tables lined up in the grass behind the guild hall. There's meat, there's shellfish, there's vegetables and side dishes. There's even some wine and beer.

Hello, Hellsing. Come meet and greet your fellow operatives.

Hellboy's had his food, for now at least, and has been circulating around being social with a cup of some non-alcoholic beverage. He pauses as he sees Sebastian off to the side, and for a moment, something about the way the other man is standing apart reminds him a little of his old friend Abe.

I shouldn't be getting that nostalgic without any booze in me, he thinks with mild irritation at himself. Feeling, as he would with Abe, that at least some effort had to be made, and seeing nothing else for it, he finishes his cup and puts it aside, then works his way around so that he can make something of a casual approach.

"Hey. You all right there, Sebastian?"

"Hmm? Oh, yes, I'm good," he says with an honest smile. Despite his reserve, Sebastian is glad to be at the barbecue and seems content to relax on the outskirts. "You? Did you need any help with anything?"

He chuckles. "No, no, I'm fine. I just..." He shrugs. "Saw you standing over here by yourself and was a bit concerned."

Hellboy is a very social kind of guy. While he'll occasionally go off in private to indulge a broody mood, in public he likes being in with people. Even as long as he knew Abe, he's never really gotten the concept of being social at a distance.

"Thank you, but there's really nothing to be concerned about. I'm just not very, er, I don't mingle well." It's not that he can't do the polite meet'n'greet think usually favoured at staff functions, but that if he's given the choice, Sebastian will be happier taking his time to meet people and staying firmly on the edge of interaction.

"And you needn't worry too much; if I didn't want to come out, I wouldn't've."

He nods. "Okay. Just wanted to make sure." Pretty much what he expected, then. "So how're things going around here, then, since the attack? Anything you need a hand with?"
