Nope. As someone who got teased for her name as much as her ethnicity she was not about to be that person.
In fact, all she said was-
"Short for Richard, right?"
Look it has been established that both of them are a little out of it, at least what she's blurting out now actually makes sense and isn't painfully obvious like earlier.
Obvious, just not painfully so.
Maybe.
Also the hand holding was... strange. Thinking of it as strange was strange. But she was holding hands with a stranger. In fact, she was thinking about doing other things with this stranger if it just meant getting totally back to normal and staying that way. He'd likely be the first person she called if she needed some help again, just because he was the first person she'd let get this close.
"They're the ones that brought us here, right? Maybe they did something to us."
Not buying the whole "withdrawal" bit being natural. Her money is on them MAKING them sick.
"Some kind of human testing? Maybe they're just really, really strong willed."
Fingers curling around the edge of his hand, but she's not quite there returning the hand-sandwiching yet. Instead- "... Do you feel like you can walk again? Maybe we can go someplace less open to talk?"
Wow that was a lot of words for someone usually so antisocial. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED.
