#elsewhere

Frank nods. "I'll protect her from herself."

"thanks. " A nod and he starts to drift to sleep

Frank sits and waits with him till Dagmar returns.......

(fade)

Symon, of course, heard all that, but how much he shares with Dagmar? mm

And Jaymes has fallen asleep again

And Franks sits with him, facing the door.

Dag returns, offering out her elbow to the sluagh. She has a Dr. Pepper and a Mountain Dew tucked under her arm, but her hands are full of coffees for the two grumps.

Jaymes appears to be outcold

Symon relieves her, taking the coffees to set down.

Coffee is delivered to Frank, and set aside for Jaymes. "Changing of the guard, yeah?"

"Yes." Frank rumbles quietly "Time for you to go home and check on the rest of your family. I'll take guard point until we get someone else in. I'll make some calls, set things up with the Chieftess and all."

A frown.

Frank waits, patient. And bandaged.

Huff.

"I want to come back later."

"Of course." Frank blinks "I'm sure Tove and CJ will want to see Jaymes too." he speaks quietly so as not to disturb the sleeping giant.

Another frown.

"We'll work it out. Thanks for watching my dad."

And the teens head off.
