Hellboy 👊👿 ---------- 📿💤 August Whateley
“Hey kid, what ya picking at?”
The exorcist was busy fiddling with a large folder of colorful paper strips and a large jar.
“Hey, Red. Is that an affectionate ‘kid’ or did you just forget my name again?”
“Whates, I couldn’t forget a name as weird as yours if I wanted to.” Hellboy laughed, tousling his friend’s hair.
“I’m making paper stars. It helps when I need to focus, or calm down, or...” August shrugged. “When I’m bored I guess.”
Whateley picked up another strip of paper, dark blue and dusted in gold circle patterns. His fingers moved with practiced folds while he thought about an answer, dropping the completed star into the jar with a soft plink.
“I dunno.... Uhm- Do you wanna try? I can teach you.”
He patted the floor beside him and Hellboy took the seat.
“Sure, kid. But you know I’m all thumbs.”
“That’s okay, I’ll give you all the paper I hate.”
“And they say chivalry is dead.”
