"That. Sounds. Amazing." Calm down, it's only an ankle shake. "I will totally ankle shake on it, okay? You will most definitely be the first on the to-contact list should I ever find myself in need of therapy." God forbid she ever does, honestly. Not that it necessarily takes a lot to get to her -- she's pretty sensitive. "I think she'd probably have me arrested, but otherwise, that's a pretty good idea."
Franklin laughed a bit, somehting he normally did when someone was confused on the shake. “You’ve never done an ankle sake before? That is wow, okay basically we lean forward grab each others ankle so they are in the air, and shake it like you would a hand.” Yeah, that is weird, hun. Stop talking. “Well then I say you let birds into her room and see if she likes them.” That is bad, like very very bad. Your mother wouldn’t approve.

"What's an ankle shake?" She asks him, not so much as a hint of judgment in her tone -- just open curiosity. That's Risa, though. "And of course I want to watch one. That's basically all I do with my time -- I love animals. I wish my landlord allowed me to have them in my flat, but she's mean. Very mean." He's just asked her to watch a film with him -- about turtles or otherwise -- and instead of making the connection that someone actually wants to spend an extended period of time with her after more than a two minute conversation, she's talking about her landlord. Nice.
"As long as you ankle shake on it with me, I will believe you." He nodded and smiled brightly at her, his eyes widening slightly. "Y-you want to watch one? I-I have a bazillion of them!" Maybe you found a friend, Franklin

"You'll be the first person I call." You don't even know his name, let alone his number -- and it's not as if you'll ever get it. "I didn't, actually! That's fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. I've been meaning to find some documentaries on turtles, if we're being honest, but I keep getting distracted by other things -- like the humpback whale." Oh.
"Alright, but if you need one, let me know." Franklin stop being nice and just smile and nod like normal people do. "I had no idea! Did you know that the largest turtle is the leatherblack sea turtle?" No one would want to know that, loser.

" -- No. No, I'm good." But you just said you were traumatized. "Did you know that many birds eat at least twice their weight in food per day?"
"Maybe you need therapy to talk it all out. I-I know a good therapist if you need one."

"I was too. I was really scared, actually. I think I've been traumatized."
"Oh thank jebus. I was scared there for a moment."

"Yes, I rescued him. He will live a long, healthy, and happy life."
"Is the birdy okay?!" You are supposed to ask if she is okay, Franklin.

"A bird hit my window the other day, and I was so alarmed, I peed myself a little." That isn't something you just tell people, Risa.

"Yes, yes she did." Risa says, rather somber about the entire thing, despite the fact that they're talking about a film; it didn't actually happen. "Oh my God, I remember that teacher -- I wasn't in her class, but she used to horrify me." Her eyes widen slightly at the thought. "I was always scared she was gonna lock me in that thing."
"Didn’t she also, legitimately fling a child out of the schoolyard? Oh my gosh!” — Another thing that was absolutely ridiculous, not to mention physically impossible; but Delilah could remember very clearly as this unfolded on the small, barely working television in her bedroom growing up and how far their jaws had dropped at both scenes. “She was so scary. You know, I had a teacher that looked exactly like her once?”

Risa absorbs this, and somehow, despite the fact that she could of drawn the very same conclusion herself if she'd stopped to think, it sounds so reasonable, so much better coming from Willow. She keeps the animal cradled carefully in her hands, and folds herself down onto the sofa, curling her legs up beneath her, and watching the screen of the laptop for any sign of it wanting to load sometime this century. "Well, I kind of was up really late last night watching things" that is to say, she stayed up all night again for the thrill of documentaries "and I, um, was in here when he...hit the window." She winces, because it really wasn't her finest moment -- she's actually somewhat surprised her little shriek didn't rouse Willow long before she decided to wake her up, which was about a half hour post her finding the bird. "So yeah."
{❈} Willow learned a long time ago to not be surprised by the things that Risa does, and she’s perfectly fine with them if she’s being honest. There isn’t much she isn’t used to now, granted it took a lot of getting used to in the beginning, but now it was second nature to her. So with a small smile she pushed herself out of bed and followed the other girl into the living room and over to her laptop that was sitting on the coffee table. “Well it’s good that it’s not bleeding, probably just has a small sprain.” There was one time in her life when she wanted to be a Vet, although out her Mom told her she’d have to put animals down that was it for her. “We can probably stabilize the little leg before we bring him to a Vet to get him checked out.” Quickly as she could she turned on the computer waiting for the screen to come up. “How did you even find the little bird?”

All Contacts;
Lucas: I don't think I would to be honest, you're given off a rather dodgy impression.
Lucas: Yeah, that would be a good idea.
Risa: I'll have you know that I'm a med student, which is basically the least dodgy thing ever
Risa: In all honesty, you're probably just severely ill. You should rest.

Lucas: How would you get that tested?
Lucas: Really don't want ET shit going down on me today, I am not in the mood for that.
Risa: I was thinking more like those Sigourney Weaver films, but if you want to romanticize it like ET, that's fine too
Risa: Just don't come crying to me when there's alien spawn eating their way out through your tummy
Risa: You should get x-rays
