Frank's OP team gets back much earlier than most without even really trying (sorry) which gives him time to think and get his affairs in order. He and Kamala reorder their house in relative silence before he starts getting ready to go. He's not sure what's going to happen when he walks out that door, but he knows she can't be around him right now. She needs time and he needs to give it to her. After doting on all his animals, he plucks Bruno up with the intention of taking him wherever he ends up. Right now, he's not sure where he's going and much less sure when he's coming back. His last message to Kamala is a tap to his smartwatch to indicate he's reachable when she's ready and then there's a sign she's never seen him use before, mostly because he hasn't ever: Love you.

He leaves before she can respond, pack shouldered and croc-dog held against his chest as the other dogs whine for him, but he's not taking them with. They should stay in the house with Kamala where it's warm and safe. He knows she would never let harm befall them. He doesn't get far before remembering that Elektra needed to talk with him and so he goes to her porch to wait. It's not as cold as it's been, enough that straddling zero degrees feels downright balmy and even Bruno doesn't seem too salty about waiting outside.

When she returns, presumably after sending Matt to the Inn to clean up his act, Frank will be sat there on her stoop with a sleeping croc-dog on his lap and a joint held between his teeth, barely started. His backpack with the stupid flame patch is sitting next to him, indicating that he intends to stick around for a minute.

"I see you've shed some dead weight." Ha-ha.
