She shrinks back, nearly falling from her seat. For a while moment she interprets his sudden movement as him jumping at her and it startles the usual sass right out of her. "I didn't mean to end up there!" Her voice starts off shrill, defensive. "This is why I didn't wanna say anything. I knew everyone would just get mad."

"Look I was only there 'cause I thought she'd get hurt. I didn't think anyone would actually die, I was just tryin' to keep her from gettin' attacked, right? I wasn't tryin' to start shit! It just happened!" She leans forward again, slapping a hand on her chest with a dull thud. Girl doesn't realize what he's thinking or how what she's saying sounds, just that he's upset. She stops, considering the look on his face. Her own turns desperate and her arms cross over her chest. "You would have done the same thing if you were there!"
