[ the question catches him off-guard, though it really shouldn't. he had taught his own kids... survival skills, more than fighting. this kid still reminds him of zach, who still reminds frank of himself, at that age. and of frank jr., though those memories are pushed further back on purpose. ]
Your pops didn't teach you? [ just as soft, just as gruff. maybe this kid didn't have a dad. just like frank doesn't have his kids, anymore. he's already thinking of how he could teach mike anything close to fighting without making noise. if anyone could figure that out, it would be a marine, right? ]
