"Ow! Augh, okay, okay..."]
Franklin may have been used to Rachel's telepathic visits, but Oriana manages to outshine her with a louder presence. After massaging his head, he communicates back.
{Um, hey? You must be...Oriana, right? I know about your antibody, Anya, and we've talked. She wears a hoodie, and she...likes sucking pathogens.}
Smooth.

{Oh, um, sorry this is cool, but um, okay. I...hold on, don't take this the wrong way, but...}
Franklin gets down on his knees, outstretches his arms, and calls out, "Oh Great, Mighty Oriana, please grant me my wish!" He couldn't help but laugh afterwards, but at himself, for being so cringely about this. He takes a moment to recuperate, then adds,
{But, uh, I'm going to need your energy to power these fuel cells in this backpack behind me. I'm going to use some to help a couple of friends fix their power incontinence issues, and power up a prototype transport system, among other things. Please, I really need your help.}
H.E.R.B.I.E looks very concerned about Eires' implication. "Of Course, Eires. Duly Noted."
Turning back to Homura, he quickly corrects himself to the girl. "Pardon For The Confusion, Ms. Akemi. My Remark Was Aimed At Eires. And We've Been Here For Approximately Half A Month. Concerning, I Assure You, But Franklin And I Have Been Developing Solutions While Helping Around Our Fellow Roommates."
....?...
{From inside the house.....?}
-As he discreetly makes his way in and up the stairs, the thought occurs to him. Wait a minute....bell...from the second floor....was it?...-
.......!
-He came to a stop at the entrance to Oriana's room-
-...aaaaaw, nuts-

{Wait, what?! Oh, wait, sorry, forgot about the telepathic—-oh geez.}
Franklin massages his head in disappointment, trying to think of a better solution. His ideas would be pretty transparent to Oriana anyway, not like he was trying to hide them.
{Okay, let's start small: can you tell me why, please?}
"Thank You For The Support, Ms. Akemi. I Assume You Are One Of Those People?" H.E.R.B.I.E askes before transitioning back to the vampire.
"Indeed, 'might'. Franklin and I Would Have To Look For An Alternative If The Sad Truth Comes. While, Of Course, Putting Noone's Wellbeing In Jeopardy."

-Alright Graham....you stepped out of this woman's business before, you don't have to go back into it.-
......
-You're just going to cause another mess, again.....-
..........
-Haven't you done enough?-
...
-All you have to do is just turn around and walk away....-
.....Ohhh......Nuts.
-He quietly peeks his head into Ori's room, sheepishly looking around as he notices Franklin standing by the bell-
....?...

-Franklin's knock causes the bell to ring, a very loud, clear, resounding sound that even seems to visibly resonate with Oriana's nebula-like form-
-Loud, in Franklin's head-
{Hello?}
