[ frank had gotten swept up in one project after the next. if he isn't soundproofing the prison, he's soundproofing houses. and right now it feels rather indulgent to be soundproofing his. after this whole mayor thing he's been slightly more withdrawn than usual, except for with the kids. and tetora, since frank doesn't even really classify him as one anymore, even if he is fiercely protective of him all the same. there's something that's forged between them, a bond not unlike the one he used to share with billy. the thought hurts, but is easily pushed away when the young man in question comes bounding up to him.
he's about to pounce on him to prevent him from speaking as is ingrained into him by now, but it starts to register what's going on. the sound on the roof, tetora's wet clothes and hair, then he speaks and frank laughs. it's just a forced exhale, loud for a breath but silent by usual standards. tetora's voice is the only one other than david's that he's fully used to in this place, but it's still a novelty to be able to hear it aloud. ] No shit. [ it isn't a mock, but instead sounds bemused and conspiratory. what kind of trouble can they get into now??? ]
