(@Roo) I, uh, can t-tell. Did you, um, need to t-take a break from him?'
(@Girl) (notices the girl mumbling) W-what on Earth are you, um, talking a-about?
Upstairs Hallway
(listens to the explanation while he dries up his tears) My goodness. That's a lot of people. Your "family" is pretty huge.
"Family photos do tend to get cumbersome," The Son Of Geniuses jokes, though not before a yawn escapes his breath. "Gee, this day really has tired me out. Well, Kinnikuman, sorry I'm wasn't able to hear your side of things, but hey, it leaves us with something to talk about...later? Tomorrow? Or, whenever I'm free. "
Finally locating his room from afar (with H.E.R.B.I.E's assistance), Franklin slowly heads off for a nap. "Catch y'ah later, sir!"

Franklin wishes he brought a tissue. Not nearly for himself, but for the bawling Kinnikuman that he couldn't bear to look at without getting a sick feeling. "I mean, thanks for the sympathy points, Kinnikuman. I didn't mean to...set you off like that."
"Funny enough, "uncle" and "aunt" are pretty flexible terms in my household. Biologically, Johnny "The Human Torch" Storm is my only uncle (and Victor Von Doom's another situation entirely, no thanks to my younger half-sister). However, I tend to call my Ben "The Thing" Grimm my uncle. My parents always told me how strong, but good-hearted he was around people, even around his rival Johnny. Heck, he took Johnny's place in a fatal counter attack against Galactus. "
He pauses again with a subtle smile.
"Still though, there is also Peter "Spider-Man" Parker (funny enough, he told me he was a wrestler once). My parents knew I had some kind of loving connection to the wall-crawler, and since they were already good friends, had him act as an honorary uncle within my first year. He cracked jokes, tutored me, and surprisingly offered some deep advice at times. Honestly, I look up to him...and Ben...all my family really."
He kind of wished he didn't ramble so much, but he couldn't help it.
