[ frank sees it all from the flickering sky to the way time seems to stand still one moment only to speed through the bulk of the dig the next. even knowing they're sleeping doesn't pull him out of it any quicker, and he sets his shovel down when logan places her reverently down, bowing his head and clasping his hands in front of his body. he's hunched over as though he could make himself smaller by will alone, a manic high-mass speeding through his mind in a blink. he might be a lapsed catholic, but if even one prayer helps her then it was worth touching on in the end.
he catches logan's thrown gaze and starts covering her over gently once he picks the shovel back up. there's nothing to be said until it's done anyway, and so frank wouldn't dare breach the silence. to say nothing of habits both at home and in reims. naturally, logan's words break his reverie even as they pat down the soft earth containing her. frank knows he has to at least try to be sensitive now, and it's never been his strong suit, but he tries to be as succinct as possible without making it seem like dreaming something like this over and over means he thinks any less of the man. that would be far too hypocritical for even frank castle n the end. ]
They're not coming. But you're right, we do have to go. [ it sounds cryptic, but he doesn't worry about logan misunderstanding with them sharing consciousness this way. ] Let me know when you're ready. [ frank can't judge someone for mourning, not even eternally. not when he tried to let his wife go but he still had dreams like this every night. ]
