"I didn't mean to!" Jenny says almost instantly, rising to her feet just as quickly. Her blue eyes are wide and she holds her hands up as if to insist on her innocence. She really, really didn't mean to crash her small ship. It's her own link to the rest of the universe. But she had gotten too close to the trash ring circling earth, got hit by a piece of space debris, and well... The rest is history, isn't it?
But that doesn't matter right now. What matters is that he's awake. He's awake. He's awake and out of the bed and not dead. Oh, that's good. That's very good. Not that she thought that he'd be dead... He had been capable of walking home last night. And capable of stripping down to his boxer shorts (something Jenny had found very interesting). Then he had collapsed in his bed and even though the sun's been up for hours, he hadn't woken. So she had begun to worry.
He's awake now though and it's taking a lot of Jenny's self restraint not to hug him in relief. Her guilt helps with that.
"I really didn't mean to. You Earthlings have so much debris above your planet and no one warned me about that and it was an accident I promise it was!"
