"Why?"

"Mostly because I think you and she are happier Seelie" She says honestly

A sigh, and he nods. "True."

She pats his shoulder, "here, let me dry dock her again."

A grunt. "Me." And he gives it a shot.

It's close... but... yes, he does it. Siv says "slowly dad.. slow." THis from the girl who likes to drive fast

He is slow, and careful. She's seen him like this around mortals; aware his size can intimidate and cautious about using that.

And it settles "And back where we started. Whew. Yeah. I think you're doing okay."

He nods. "Have back up but... I can do it."

"I'll recruit again."

"Good." He puts a hand on her shoulder.

She smiles sadly. Then a thought sinks in, "Jonas! I can get Jonas to help you! He's worked with ships before. More small ones but I can get him up to speed"

Frank nods agreement.

"Just.. promise not to use him as rations"

COULD be joking

"Won't eat him." Frank sounds puzzled but maybe trying to reassure?

A smile, then "Oh, speaking of rations.. I need to check with the Hearth. Sorry, so much to do." she gives him another hug and races off.

Soon, the dogs will find Frank again and snuggle once more
