[ he's not doing great necessarily, but he's better these days. better than he was, or at least better enough to actually pay attention his fluid again, having ignored days of messages while he'd been coping with that colossal loss. ]
[ tired, maybe, but it's him, and that's the most he can ask for. ]
Yeah. Yeah.
[ and maybe he sounds plenty exhausted himself, still struggling on sleep or any sense of ease from the past several days. it certainly doesn't help that he wore himself hard on far too much unnecessary fighting. ]
Mercury Suites. Wynonna and I found a pretty secure apartment. Beat to shit, inside walls falling apart, but the door's sturdy and I've been blocking up the windows. Plenty of room for β [ for the kids. but his voice gets caught in his throat. ] What about you? You safe?
[ As Frank talks he might hear Kurt let out a breath of relief, an unwinding of a knot that's been sitting behind his ribs for days. ]
Safe enough. We're in the Medical Pavilion. Close enough to be -- I was injured, getting off the ship. And.. Logan didn't make it. At least, none of us have seen him. [ He can't help the faint hope that creeps into his voice, that perhaps Frank or Wynonna might have information he doesn't. ]
[ logan. frank thinks back to the man he'd met while he'd run off on his own β james, he'd called himself, despite looking so much like the logan he'd met, only more aged and rugged, as if he'd broken apart and gotten pieced back together with the cracks still showing.
similar to the man, but β but frank had been mistaken for someone else once too. it didn't mean they were the same. ]
I ... I haven't seen him. Sorry, Kurt. [ he takes a breath, falling silent for a moment. ] Those injuries β they doing any better now?
[ Kurt's instinct is to dissemble and make things seem more okay than they are, but it's difficult to summon the will to do that around Frank. Like he doesn't want to disappoint him by lying. ]
Ah, in some ways. It's not exactly an ideal situation for healing. But please don't worry, I will be all right, I've lived with worse.
[ A beat. It feels like a good time to make sure things are said, after coming so close to losing everything. ]
It's good to hear your voice, Frank. Knowing you're around makes me feel safer.

swallowing down the guilt, he nods to himself, taking a deep breath before he gathers himself again. ]
Yeah. Yeah, it's good to hear you too, Kurt. You keep need any help with those injuries or need some supplies, you just holler, alright?
