"A captain doesn't always act rash. I believe a man of little wit will quickly become a dead man if he's not careful. Is it surprising to you that I can be clever? I'm not just good looks, love," Hook replied, a crooked grin spreading on his lips. Killian was a survivor, after all. He didn't get as far as he was in life by acting without any thoughts whatsoever.
"Is that right?" Killian questioned when Krennic would explain himself and Emma would agree that it never happened. "That's not what it looked like from my angle, but very well. Just keep your hands to yourself, mate, or you might lose one of them," he said, subtly gesturing at Emma. "Take my word for it, you don't want that." Hook wasn't so much threatening the man as he was warning him that Emma herself would probably cut off his hand if he misbehaved with it. She was a feisty thing, that blonde. He was already well aware of what she could be capable of.
After glancing to his hook again, Killian replied to Star. "Having two hands is far better than owning a hook, I'll have you know, but I'm glad you've taken to the sight of it. If I may return the compliment, Star is a lovely name. Fitting for a lass like yourself." Whether he cared to admit it or not, Hook actually did like children and he was bound by his honor to be a gentlemen to women, most of the time. It may have seemed out of character for a pirate, but so long as he was sober Killian would usually treat girls with respect.
Listening to the conversation between Emma and America, he replied to them again. "Yet again, I agree with, Swan. Shockingly. All manner of beasts have a weakness. Never came across one that hasn't. As for these... hearts of light... we should make haste and locate them soon, before Thanos does. Any ideas as to how we find them?"

"Thanks you guys! Emma and Hook are good names too." Star said in reply to the two before she had actually made her way over to Judy.
Before turning back to the bunny rabbit, Star faced the two one more time and wrapped them both in a friendly hug.

Emma nodded slowly at Killian's claims, one brow quirked and a faint grin on her face. "Really? I never would have guessed," she jabbed at his claim, giving him a brief once over before her green eyes flickered away. "But good. I'm glad you've got that much intuition. That'll keep you alive." Which, clearly she wanted, despite potential claims otherwise. She had just indirectly admitted it, herself, after all.
As Hook made his comment about Krennic seemingly going for her rear, Emma gave a brief pause, pursing her lips and tilting her head for a moment before nodding. "He's not wrong. I would cut your hand off if you tried. But don't worry, it's nothing against you; I'd do it to anyone," she mused, sincerely. Eventually, halfheartedly, she added. "Just for the record." Yeah. Good to make that really clear now to make sure now to avoid any worries or lack of clarity on the matter in the future. She wouldn't want anyone getting mislead.
Admittedly, Emma was mildly surprised by Killian's kind and calm words towards Star. She wouldn't have really expected him to be the type to make friends with little children, but hey- it was nice. It meant she wouldn't have to worry quite as much about trying to handle Star on her own, and if she screwed up, hopefully he would still be alright with her. Perhaps he wasn't the worst possible person to be stuck here with after all. But right now? There were much more pressing matters at hand than friendliness towards children, and--
"..."
Emma was silent as she was rather forcefully pulled into a group hug by the young girl, which naturally yanked her closer to both the kid and, well, the male in the equation that had been dragged in as well. The small size of the young girl's arms resulting in her winding up a bit closer to both of them- especially the latter -than desired. She rather awkwardly returned the embrace(though only with one arm since the other was tangled with Killian and nopeeee), offering a faint, awkward smile. "...Thanks, kid-- I mean, Star," she replied, quick to correct herself. As the girl moved before them, she spoke again, softly, pointedly avoiding looking at Hook. "See ya around."
