Ari: Oh! *smiles* I'm glad he'll be with good people. *looks at Cody* They'll love you there, I know it.

Cody: *looks hopeful but uncertain. He looks at Darnell kind of like "really? Truly?"*

Darnell: *nods* Ari's met these people too. In fact, he knows Hellboy really well.

Ari: Very well, he's a really great guy.

Cody: *smiles*  I'll be happy to meet him.

Darnell: He'll be happy to meet you too. *snickers* I hope you like cats. Hellboy has a gazillion of them.

Cody: */smiles/* I like cats.

*Cody and Darnell head to the kitchen. The boy sets his butterfly where it can be seen and will help Darnell any way allowed to make dinner.*

*They'll work and chat and make a /damned/ fine dinner (see: spoiling Cody as much as possible because the poor boy deserves it), then Darnell will spend some time searching the internet and also employing Thomas to help him find photos of Maggie*

*It’ll... prove very difficult to find pictures of her that are clear. She wasn’t the selfie type by the time those became popular, and she wasn’t close with family. For now they’ve got a few grainy photos of her when she was much younger, but nothing to really go on. Still Cody appreciates the attempt and Darnell will get lots of hugs as they’re getting ready for bed.*
