Look. I don't know how many of you there are now, I can't remember everything... but... I know I attacked people over the weekend. I wasn't-- I can't say I wasn't myself, but I wasn't who I am now. I was lost and sick and fucked up.

[Awkward pause, Frankie's not really the sort for public apologies but he probably owes one at this point

[All that you hear from this side is a thump of bread dough on the counter and a humph]

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[eiremagic]

[She does a half turn, so she's got her face against his shoulder, except considering how short she is, it's more against his chest]

'm glad yehr back.

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[never_very_good]

Me too.

[He presses her against him lightly.]

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[eiremagic]

[Quiet squeak]

Uh, yeh may not want to check yehr voice messages.

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[never_very_good]

[That gives him a moment's pause.]

What'd you do?

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[eiremagic]

Yelled a lot. Called yeh names. Swore in Irish.

I didn' know where yeh were.

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[never_very_good]

[Frankie just laughs at that, because well, it's not entirely surprising.]

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[eiremagic]

[She looks up at him and has a slight scowl for a second, then it softens away]

I'm pissed at meself. For bein' angry at yeh.

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[never_very_good]

I disappeared for two days and tried to eat three people. I think you have the right.

[He's not much madder at himself than usual, really; at least this he can fix, unlike other things he's done.]

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[eiremagic]

Yeh were cursed. It's not fuckin' fair.

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[never_very_good]

Not fair to the people I infected, either. Or to Amory.

[He shrugs a little and rubs her back absently. Honestly, he's pretty calm, at this point; it's just a matter of finding out how much he needs to bleed to fix things.]

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[eiremagic]

I don' care about them.

[Selfish, maybe, but honest]

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[never_very_good]

I do. But I have to.

[Responsibility, it is a pain in the ass sometimes. But overall he thinks he's better off these days for having taken it. Still, right now all he wants to do is hold Eden a bit closer, so for right now he does.]

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[eiremagic]

[And she's jealous and hurt that he didn't remember her even though it's not his fault and she can't say any of that]

Yeh're not goin' to let them bite yeh, right?

[She's finally moving her arms around his waist]

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[never_very_good]

Seems like it'd be fair if I did.

[He leans his cheek on the side of her head, considering.]

Rather not though. 'Sides, I'm willing to bet the idea would make half of 'em sick.

[don't call my name don't call my name]

[eiremagic]

I don' want them to bite you.

[She sort of holds onto his shirt. Her voice is sort of stubborn, no less]
