"Roger. I suppose I'll be ah... keeping watch?"

"See you then."

"I'll be ready" And she hangs up

Frank taps the screen and drives.

And soon he is approaching the apartment. It's not the coldest spot as he knwos most here are Kithain or at least kinain, but there's his daughter at a side door

He pulls up, kills the engine, parks the Rig. He checks on his passenger with a glance.

"There's... a tall blue girl by the door... " The Father observes "Sir.. Franklyn? Am I getting you into trouble?"

A chuckle. "No, you're not. Please, call me Frank. Father...?"

"Pace. Father Pace" A smile "And thank you, Frank. You're truly one of God's Children... then we all are, but you also act it" he offers out a hand

Frank shakes, carefully, and they all get out and head to Siv.

He doesn't feel too cold. Possibly a dreamer...or could be.

They approach her, and she sees him "Hello, Sir. I'm Siv."

"Father Pace, this is Siv. Siv, as you can see, Father ran into some issues in Teaneck but we've mostly sorted that out. Let's get him inside."

"He's a ...priest . Oh" Siv says "Well, come in, yes" She goes through first "Follow me, please"

Father Pace does "Everything has so much color"

Frank and Oak follow behind.

They don't go far, the room is close to the edge

"Good choice, Siv." Frank murmurs as they enter. "Can you show Father Pace the bathroom, get him what he needs to clean up?"

"Please, Father Pace. YOu'll be safe here"

OOC How big/tall is Fr Pace?

Six foot even... humongus

Frank considers. "I'm going to call the twins, see if they can bring some clothes over. Sweats, tee shirt. Won't be fancy, but it will be clean and better than my old shirt."

"We can outfit him dad. More.. ah, average sized folks I can check" Siv offers "Around here"

Frank nods and digs out his wallet, hands her some folded money "For the clothes. Or... whatever."

"Let's get you cleaned up Father. And... are you hungry?"

"A little" He admits

"Siv, can you order some food as well? Father, what's your preference?"

"I can pick up some food while I'm getting the clothes" Siv nods

"Anything is fine I don't want to be introuble" the priest says "I don't want to beggar you..."

"A pizza won't begger anyone, what topings, Father ?" She asks

"None for me, thank.... oh. Go ahead, Father Pace. What kind of pizza?"

"Oh, I will ask for Sausage and stuffed crust. God will forvive me this gluttony I'm sure"

"You earned a good meal, Father."

"Sausage with Stuff crust it is" Siv nods and heads out

"Go ahead and get cleaned up Father. She'll be back as fast as she can with the clothes and all."

"THank you, Franklyn " He goes to shower.

The room is rather bland. Perhaps used to help combat Bedlam though it's not ugly or unpleasant exactly

Frank pokes around a bit.

"Mm. Oak, c'mere."

He checks the dog over; injuries? Needs a clean-up?

Oak walks over to him... he has a scratch, a shallow gouge at worst. there's a bruise on his hind quarters tender

But Oak bears it stoicly, well even a wag

"Ok, you're going to sleep by the 'Fire tonight."

Frank gets a damp towel and cleans Oak up.

Oak gets cleaned, and then the shower stops

"Let's settle in and wait comfortably. Well. As comfortably as we can." Frank finds a place to pop a squat.

They end up on a bed's edge. Oak stretches out on his less tender side.

If there's any other option for Frank, he'll take it. Like. He could sit on the floor in the living room.

The priest comes out wearing a bathrobe and he smiles at the dog "Frank. I'm not that tired yet. You and oak take the bed. I can sit in the chair here. It's abit too small for you"

Siv enters in "Pizza..." Then looks amused "I also brought Clothes, but that looks fine on you, Father Pace" She sets it down on the small table
