[D2, EA] A shared meal in kitchen (open)

[Frankie Reynes]

"Oi, quit hogging all the food!" She said, grabbing some of it to stuff into her own mouth.

"But yeah," *chewing sounds* "I am totally like,* "chewing sounds* "Calm, yeah?"

[Ultimate Frankie]

Frankie replied while eating, “Now I understand why Americans are so… uhh…” She looked at Bea and said, “Jolly, yeah.”

“It’s good. What’d you call this again?”

[Bee Haw]

Bea smiled very brightly at the compliments to the food. There was plenty! They could have as much as they wanted.

"This is called chili. Specifically my mama's Oklahoma cowboy chili. You can mix it up a bit with what toppings you put." There were little bowls with fixins to put in - fritos, shred cheese, sliced scallions, sour cream.

"And this is cornbread. You can probably taste the corn! And that is all about the butter and honey on top."

[Ultimate Frankie]

"Okay, I'm sold, I am movin' to America, gimme a gun, because everyone has a gun, init?" she responded while eating.

[Bee Haw]

She laughed. "There's plenty of space, plenty of room, plenty of friendly people to welcome you."

"But guns are a totally optional thing. You'd have the right to have a gun, yeah. But you don't have to take on the obligation of a gun, if you don't need to. You can have guns for hunting and marksmanship and protecting animals from wolves and stuff, if you need."

"I don't have one. My mama doesn't have one. I don't like the idea of hurting another person, or a person taking it from me and using it to hurt another person."

[Frankie Reynes]

"We're going to die," chewing sounds, "If we go to," chewing sounds, "America, Frankie," more chewing sounds, "Unless maybe," even more chewing sounds, "It's to like," yet more chewing sounds, "Hollywood," swalllowing sounds, "I 'eard they eat only vegan there"

[Bee Haw]

"I've never been to California, let alone Hollywood, but I'm sure it's very grand."

"And from movies and TV, I get the picture Los Angeles is full of actors and rich people, and everyone is very thin and very tan, so probably yeah they don't eat as much chili and cornbread as they want. More vegetarians and people who don't eat bread at all."

"You all might be a hit as twins. They need twins sometimes for a story. Though, now that I think about that, the same person can play both parts. No, twins are good for child actors. So they split the hours. Neither working too much."

[Ultimate Frankie]

"I'm the pretty one, yeah, she's the weird one," Frankie countered as she ate. "That's our thing, init."

[Frankie Reynes]

"I mean, we look exactly the same, but sure."

[Ultimate Frankie]

"I mean, we look exactly the same, but sure."

"But which one of us has a boyfriend?" she responded.

[Frankie Reynes]

"Neither, you already admitted the Michael Bay thing was a fake-out."

[Bee Haw]

"Oh, have either of you ever had a boyfriend?"

"I ... don't have a lot of experience in that area. But I'd sort of love to hear about it. So, I had a little more ... readiness. Just in case. Not that it's likely to come up."

[Frankie Reynes]

"Huh?" She was mid-chew again, "I mean sure. Back in London yeah? A couple 'ere and there. Don't know what's to tell though. Ancient history now. I mean, they don't really last. I guess all the random stuff happening puts them off yeah? Like, bruv, you've got elastic skin and bones... or bruv, you can deadlift a car, but you can't handle *this*?"

[Bee Haw]

She nodded.

"Anyone you particularly miss? I want to hear all the details." She smiled, earnest and curious.

[Ultimate Frankie]

"I mostly had situationships, yeah, just things that kind of happened and then they didn't yeah," she admitted.

[Frankie Reynes]

"Uuugh, not really," she rolled her eyes, "I mean, there was one guy from the orphanage, but that was ages ago. What's all this interest about yeah? *You* got a bloke in mind?"

[Ultimate Frankie]

"Michael Bay is kind of hot, init? But, bruv, he might burn your... you know, lady junk," she said.

[Bee Haw]

"I don't think I've met a Michael yet. But there are certainly many admirable intriguing young men here. I ... would be glad to get to know them a little better. Malik has a good heart. He put saving people first. No question."

"LD is really sweet behind his bluster. He's been through a lot to become the person he is - and to craft that persona, I think. And there are other handsome faces I don't even have a name for yet."

She giggled, blushing.

"LD helped me make the chili and cornbread! It was really fun to have his help. And he's going to let me help with his commercial. And just the smoothies! So I don't have to push the caffeine drinks."

[Ultimate Frankie]

"Wow... well good luck, mate," she said. "Brilliant choices."

[Bee Haw]

She smiled.

"So what's a 'situationship'? Is that like when you aren't sure if the vibe is going to end up like a crush or like a brother?"
