Frank smiled warmly and held Gerard's face in his palms, giving him a soft, brief kiss. "It's going to be okay," he whispered reassuringly. "M'always going to keep you safe.." He held Gerard closer and kissed his neck, wanting to erase the worried look in the human's eyes. "We're going to be okay.. It's going to be like our own adventure."

Frank laughed and tugged Gerard closer, leading him out through the tunnel until they reached a metal grate. Frank kicked it open and walked through, ending up on the side of the cobblestone street. "Perfect." He helped Gerard through and put the grate back where it was. "We just need to walk a bit, keep our covers low. Okay?"

Frank squeezed Gerard's hand and led him down towards the housekeeper's quarters. "We should probably leave through the sewer tunnel," he wrinkled his nose. "Safer than walking out the backyard."

Frank managed to handle the accountant. He was a high enough rank to be trusted with withdrawing deposits of money, usually used to run errands for Bert. With a successful amount of cash, Frank stowed it away in his bag and returned to Gerard. "You feeling alright? You look a little pale," he asked concernedly.

Frank held Gerard's hand and walked through the back hallways, towards the center of Beauclaire where the accounting rooms were. "Wait outside, okay, baby?" Frank pecked the human's cheek and walked into the room.

Frank ran his palms over Gerard's neck. "I think so. Let's take our bags and go out through the housekeeper's quarters in the back. I've got to stop by the accounting desk too.. Get our money." Luckily the place was run by humans, who were easy enough to fool or threaten.

Brian quivered and pressed up against Zacky's back, mouth pressed between the human's shoulder blades. "C-Can we go back to our room?" he asked in an inaudible, shaky voice. Frank sighed and held Gerard's face in his palms. "You want to do this, right baby? I've got it all under control."
