She falls silent and busies herself with her danish, eating it slowly and delicately, examining Hellboy out of the corner of her eye. While she usually doesn't come face-to-face with the strange and somewhat more frightening parts of Fringe Division's jobs, she is not isolated from them. He is imposing, yes, but he is also clearly at least somewhat accustomed to dealing with people like her. He works with Olivia, and seemed at least amicable her when he mentioned her.
The probability of him being what people generally call "a big softie" is very high, Astrid calculates. She decides that she would not be at all opposed to maybe being friends with him, if he were interested. Not that she'd ever say as much - that's too weird even for her.
"Do you have any advice on finding a home and employment before I am required to pay for the room I was given?" she asks after she's finished thinking. "I have never had to do either of those things on my own before."
