[ 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?
