Maybe. (Eddie, for some reason, felt shy about the idea of sparring with a man like Frank. It was like how he'd been embarrassed being caught by Shiro trying to practice sparring. Frank would probably see him flail about for three seconds, realize what a sissy he was, and then ditch that effort real quick.
Or that's what Eddie's convinced of anyway. Maybe Frank seemed kind enough, but Eddie still didn't know him nearly enough to be a little more comfortable with certain things.
He glances up though at the point of the offer being open, and he considers it.)
Maybe when I'm a little more settled? (And maybe when he knew Frank better, more importantly, but he knows that it's rude to vocalize your suspicion of adults. They never liked that. Adults wanted automatic trust and respect all the time, and Eddie could pretend to give it so he wouldn't get in trouble.)
