[ all of eddie's assumptions are wrong here. frank welcomes any and all suspicion. that means this kid is smart. it also probably means he's been burned before, which frank doesn't like thinking about, but kids who trusted adults so readily were even more worrisome. especially a guy who looks like frank. of course, he says none of this either, just shrugging at eddie's pontification. he won't press either way, acting like it doesn't matter to him. and it doesn't, not really. different kids are into different things, even if it's easier for him to relate to brash, loud kids because it's the kind of kid he was? that doesn't matter. he appreciates smart kids too, maybe even moreso. they're probably a whole hell of a lot more useful than frank's fists in a place like this. ]
What house are you in? [ he has a hunch that he already knows. that he was even the one who put eddie's bed in his room with his brother bill. but he asks, because it's nice to ask. and it's good to know where all the kids are, so he can do his best to keep them out of harm's way. ]
