Susie needs'ta stop feedin' strays. Was Frank's only thought, face-to-face with the Smoker. What was he supposed to give it?

He didn't keep food on him, and the rations inside the lodge were, well. His. He knew that's what Susie usually gave the... Thing. Frank didn't really see it as an animal, it was unlike the Demogorgon in that way. The Demogorgon... It was easier to see her as an animal, since she genuinely just looked like one. She was bipedal, sure, but it didn't make him any more able to humanize her.
She screamed, and looked like.... That for God's sake.

"How are you doin', bud? Suze isn't around." Frank offered, maybe it wasn't hungry. Maybe it did just want companionship, but considering that it showed up in his Realm... He doubted it. Susie brought it back here when she would feed it, and spend time with it.

"...You cold?" Frank wasn't good at one-sided conversation. He couldn't get a read on what the Smoker liked, or disliked. That was usually how he held conversations. He would test the waters, and remould what he said into something that the other party would like. But now he was just a fish in the water.

smartasses always get killed. we'll see to that.

It was getting far too comfortable with Susie, Apparently. It usually didn't want anything to do with the other realms, the other killers tended to be mean, or they didn't give it any attention, so it preferred to wander in and out of the fog by itself or inhabit whatever shack or building it stumbles upon. But now it's here, on the legions doorstep, demanding food from the first legion member it saw.

oftentimes the reason it bothers anyone aside from Susie is because it genuinely can't differentiate between them. They're all wearing the same thing, how's it supposed to know any better? When Frank talks, though, its jaw tenses. oh, you're not Susie. it lets out a raspy sigh, seemingly disappointed.

It doesn't understand Frank for the most part, turning its head to the side when he speaks. It tucks its arms under it's chest, something it always seems to do when its attention has been grabbed, and peers down at him curiously. It didn't mind the cold anymore, really. At least not before the fog. Warmth was a luxury it didn't need and thus, it didn't care about it, but now it has all the time in the world, between trials. Which may be why it's begun to seek out such things, like food and warmth and companionship. Mostly food, though.

Man, why couldn't Suze make normal friends?

All of 'em were so fuckin' weird, at least this one was a killer. That was scraping the bottom of the barrel, though.
Clown was a killer, and if he ever came into the ski resort lookin' for Susie, he'd get gutted like a fish a thousand times over.

When the Smoker sighs, Frank almost feels inadequate. What, was his food not good enough? It'd likely be the same as Susie's, what did it matter? He looked away from the Smoker, almost praying for the pink-haired girl to appear from the mist.

She didn't, of course. Of course she didn't. What the hell could she possibly be doing? She never spoke to him anymore, never told him where she was going.
It was always 'Hey Frank! I'm going out ok?' Never specifics. Just out . It kinda pissed him off, how was he gonna keep her safe if he had to stalk her to find out where she even WAS?

With the Smoker moving, tucking it's arms under it's chest. "So you are cold. C'mon. There's a lost and found." Frank was just going to assume he was right, because... What else was he going to do? Assume he was wrong and keep playing 20 questions?
Fuck no.

"Great conversation, by the way. Riveting stuff." Frank made an off-handed remark as he stalked away from the creature. What kind of shit did his sister get him into? Still, it'd make her happy if he rummaged through the lost n' found to find that one big coat that she liked, and gave it to the Smoker.
That was the worst part of this, is that he knew how much delight she would feel knowing that he was doing this. Frank Morrison, brother of the year award. He could see it now.

Ugh.
