“Good.”

"Is it a part of your job description to baby me 24/7?”

"Yes, yes it is."

“The hell is an arsch.”

[He knows exactly what an arsch is.]

"Oh, do not give me that, you absolute dummkopf. I know you're not that stupid."

”Nah, I don’t need to be anyone’s responsibility. I’m responsible!”

[Neehh, I dun need tuh be anyone’s resspons-bil-ty. Aaahh’m rehzsponsible!]

"You keep telling yourself that, but as soon as you need your arsch to be saved, do not come crying to me!"

“That is none of your business, gas bag.”

[Too bad that sounded like ‘tha’ ez NONE of ya beezneez, gas bag.’]

"Excuse me, but it is my business! You are somewhat a part of my responsibility, agent, and you are making it worse than it needs to be."

“—Has that door always been there?”

"Have you been drinking, agent Hellboy?"

That didn’t make her feel any better.

A lead meant that she had done something to garner attention … but what?

Either way, she wasn’t about to get anywhere unless she told him something …

"Fine then. My name is Fae Schwarz," She began once more. "My sign is Aries, and I am approximately …" She had to think on that for a moment. "Seven hundred and fifteen years old. Your employers must have been right about something." She sighed, looking at his back.

"If that something was a question about my humanity."

There it is! His answer! Johann bounces excitedly in place, and even though he is a fully grown man, he still can't help but to get a little overly excited about this. "Ah, danke, fräulein! You just made my entire day by confessing. As I previously promised, however, I solemnly swear not to tell a single soul. I'm guessing that is all you are willing to tell me, yes?"

"First, I want to know why you’re here."

If she was even going to begin to trust him, he had to tell the truth first. She tried to focus on whatever facial features he created before they disappeared again, blinking, startled when they became nothing but gas once more.

"You mention this B.P.R.D, but not the reason why they have sent you here … or, alternatively … you came of your own volition." She began. "That would mean you knew of me before you came in here, either way." She steeled her gaze on him and stood up straight, trying to appear authoritative.

"So please … explain your purpose here."

"Ah, ah, ah. Incorrect." The doctor raises a gloved finger, turning away from the woman to lace hands behind his back. "I did not know of you before, but I did have a simple lead as to where you were. As stated before..." Johann spins on a heel with only a slight stumble, balance caught with a certain quickness. "I am here on behalf of my employers, simple as that, and I want to know whatever you can tell me about yourself."

"…Help me with what?"

She tries to compose herself as best she can and reign in her emotions, knowing that if she was freaked out badly enough they would begin affecting the other people around her - specifically doctor Johann Krauss. She couldn’t let that sort of thing become noticed.

"I lead an ordinary life here … I sell books and sometimes I go out." She wanted to throw him off her scent, if he was there to begin with.

Now she was on edge again.

Dammit.

A very, very interesting reaction to everything he is saying, and it only draws him to want to learn more. Johann paces in the slightest before settling back in front of the woman. He leans forward only slightly, the fuzzy figure of a ghastly and cloudy face appearing within the enclosure before sizzling to nothing once more. "There is no need to be so jittery, miss Fae. Any secrets you may have, you can tell me. I swear on my entire life that I will not tell a single soul."

"B.P.R.D?"

She didn’t know what to feel about what he was saying. She didn’t know what this association was, but … there was a sense of foreboding to his words, something that created a heavy rock to sit in the pit of her stomach. It could have also been the fact that there was a ghost telling her that someone had sent him.

Either way, nothing about this situation boded good news.

Her expression and tone are taken as nervous, and if his studies prove to be correct, he'd say there's a high possibility she has a secret to hide. "You seem nervous, fräulein. Perhaps I said something to put you on edge? I assure you, though, the B.P.R.D. are here to help--"

"-- not harm."

krxus started following you

"The dust of a man is still a man."

"And you come off as a very kind man, doctor Krauss, I thank you for that. Besides presenting your lovely words, what else has brought you into my shop today?" She’d never seen a man such as this … there was a suit moving as though it were filled, and yet no one was there.

Was he a spirit of some sort? A spectre? She’d only read, but never had the chance to encounter one … especially not in this manner.

Fascinating.

Ah. there's the question he's waiting for. Johann lets out a low, disembodied, but somewhat lighthearted chuckle in response. It never bothers him to answer things of this sort, so he does it with an almost excited spark. "I'm here on official business on behalf of the B.P.R.D. Just be happy I am here without my... colleagues."

Pan sighs. Thank god he’s letting up on the pestering for her biomass to be shown.

A head tilt and knit brows.

"Alright—? Go ahead and ask." The evolved nods. Her red eyes lock onto the glassy helmet.

"Have you spoken to that big red oaf of a monster lately?"

She chuckles. “I like your accent. It’s different in a cool way.” The evolved nods back with a smile.

Pan holds her hands up defensively. “A-ah… No, really. It’s— Grotesque. You wouldn’t like it.” The evolved insists. She looks away.

Johann finally takes the hint that she, indeed, does not want to let him see what lies beneath the fleshy surface of her scarred skin, and he takes to mind that he should not pry and ask as he has been this entire meeting. At least not all the time. "Ah, fine, if you are sure. I do have a quick question for you, though."

"Gentlemen are few and far between in days like this. Could a girl like me truly be blessed with such luck?"

"I should say, Doctor Johann Kraus, that the pleasure has to be all mine. I do not believe I’ve received so many beautiful compliments in such a short period of time."

"Of course you can; However I'm practically only the dust of a man. No matter, though, right? At least I can speak!"

"You deserve many fair compliments, miss Fae, for a woman of your quality should be treasured in both majesty and politeness."

Pan chuckles. “I moved here when I was three… It’s been a while.”

She tilts her head. “Maybe not fine, but pretty cool in my opinion.” Pan states. That comment caught her off guard. “I mean— You’re like a little cloud.” She adds, very gently poking the glass.

"I’d show you what I mean but it’s not exactly pleasant."

"Pretty cool. New compliment, and I like your speech style. I've never been called 'cool' before." Curiosity strikes in a quickened jolt, and he suddenly wants to know more.

"I'd love to see what you can do!"

Before he could respond an engage ring was tossed at the both of them. It would normally be used in the aid of going into a persons personal underworld. This time, it was used to get both their attention “You guys are loud. Can’t a woman sleep without guys gossiping?” She had slowly gotten up as she looked at the both of them with a confused look.

Before he responded to Yuzuki he turned to the other male “You did enough by merely talking with me and attempting to keep me calm.” Salamander nodded before he stared at Yuzuki “It’s rude to throw things but, I was worried about you.”
