"No, I'm fine." And honestly, he'd probably be dangling off the bed anyway. He can't dangle off the floor.

"I also brought clothes. Rikki offered you a Gaypride T shirt" She sighs "But I found you a hoodie that will fit and some blue jeans"

"Thank you, Siv." Frank pushes himself to his feet. "Father, will you stay here until tomorrow morning? It seems comfortable enough, if a little bare. I'll take you home then."

"I feel like quarenteen is back on" He says amused "I have so many questions to ask you both, but I suppose, it's still a matter of faith. Yes. I'll wait here. Thank you"

"Enjoy your pizza, Father Pace" Siv says

"I can stay and answer questions. Maybe not all of them, but... I'm sure I can answer some."

"Da? " Siv says "What about the right of... you know?" She whispers

"He needs to cool down, but he can see things just at the moment." Frank murmurs "He'll forget the details."

"Okaaay" She says

"Are you angels? Nephilim? Something else?"

Frank kenns the man briefly; he -is- still Enchanted?

He is.

"No. We are not angels or Nephilim." gently "Perhaps the stories of such creatures are based in part on us. We are... " he glances at Siv "... -We- are guardians and protectors." his tone indicates that not all the priest has seen today are the same.

Siv nods at that

The father says "You sound as if there are others. I am not surprised. God paints in strokes too varied for this poor man to grasp even now"

"You met some others." Frank says "Do you remember?"

"the shining lord, the one you called Baron. And the ones who took me, they were . different"

"They are not balanced" Siv will say "The ones who took you"

Frank nods. "You heard?" asking Siv.

"I got a text from the Baron" She answers "Remember I do odd jobs for him"

"Mm." Frank nods as if he expected something like that. "But, yes, Father. The ones that attacked you are not balanced."

"I see... I admit, death troubles me" He says "Killing troubles me. Even the unbalanced"

Frank nods. "Knowing as much as I do about those kinds of creatures, I do not have much compunction about ending them... but that said, I try to avoid death when I can." he says quietly.

A nod "Good. " A smile and he says "I'll go change, but then bak for Pizza. You two go ahead. If your purpose is guarding others, then it is selfish of me to hold you down with questions"

"Thank you, Father." Frank goes to check on the pizza, but doesn't take a slice.

"Thank you for the assist, Siv."

It's good, still warm

"Sure thing, " Siv says then whispers "I'll check on him every now and then"

Oak gets off the bed stiffly

Frank tilts his head. "Siv, I'm staying."

"OH da." She says "Let me get you some sleeping bags then."

"Pft. SIv, I'll be fine. I have some stuff in the Rig, I'll go pull it. Father Pace should be fine here, and in the morning I'll get up early, offer him a ride."

"Stubborn" She shakes her head, blue hair fluttering. then she goes up and kisses her father on the cheek "You know which room, Jonas, Piper and I'm at if you need us"

"I do, thank you. I will call if I need to."

And she pets Oak, who takes a spot on the floor near frank. And she waves to the priest and heads out

Frank waits for the other man to get dressed and return. Hopefully Siv got some sodas, maybe a side or two. If not, that's ok too.

She did, some of her dad's favorites

He can share fries with Oak 😉
