Hellboy's head tilts up when Olivia starts addressing him, and his recognition sparks first about being addressed at all, and then that it's by someone he is at least somewhat acquainted with. After one more deep breath in, his exhale is accompanied by a weary but friendly, "Hey."

That seems to be enough to get him to get it together, and with a noise like clearing his throat, he shifts to sit more upright. "It's no problem," he says, his voice gaining quickly picking up strength. "Nice to finally meet you in person. Have a seat. How've you been settling in?"

While she either does or doesn't sit, he finally starts digging into his breakfast and coffee. He eats like a man who's been starving, but mostly on auto-pilot while he focuses most of his conscious attention on Olivia.
