[ He let out a long, slow breath, trying to collect his thoughts. ]
Back home should be left back home. It don't help anyone to pull up our pasts, out here. We all got 'em. I ain't - I ain't comparin', but - -
I just think we should be focusin' on what we're doin'.
Not on whatever blood is on each other's hands.
[ He didn't even know how much blood was on Amos' hands. Didn't want to know. ]
It ain't like you did it for the thrill, right? You ain't about to hurt anyone here. [ He sounded confident, but he also wouldn't mind confirmation on that point. ]

[ but he nods, agreeing they need to focus. he hadn't judged alex for leaving his family so he's not wholly wrong to compare either. ]
I've always had... a darkness inside me. Violence. I can't lie to you and say it was only about justice, I enjoyed it, seeing each and every one of those shitbags die.
But even before that, before my family? I wanted to hurt people. I was an angry kid with nowhere to put it, so I joined up. I trusted them to aim me in the right direction. And that was only my first mistake.
[ frank takes a deep breath and pushes it back out. ]
I'd never hurt you, or anyone here. I just want to get everybody home.
[ with that said... "I point, you shoot." ] I'd trust you to aim me. If it came to that. [ he's hoping it won't, but he needed to put it out there. he's a living weapon, not just a guy with a dad complex. alex should remember that if he ever needs real help. ]

Maybe he'd tell those stories one day, but not today. Today was for listening.
And feeling very, very uncomfortable. He didn't like hearing it. Of course he didn't. But at the last... ]
Brother, I don't trust myself to make that call, if it came to it. I'm a pilot, not a Captain. Every time I've fired our guns, it was on orders. I don't think I could make that kinda call.
But I'll - I'll help. We'll figure it out. Get everyone home, and - and make sure no one gets hurt.

Okay, deal. We take everything on together, from now on. [ "I don't do partners." ]
do they even have fistbumps in the expanse
Deal.
