( Collette doesn't know so much the specifics for how and why this works like it did -- she's also not been shot by something as relatively painless (haha) as a gun with bullets over what the Yeerks use in possibly forever -- but she assumes they go the way of all morphs: into Z-Space.
Which she can simply say and be done with it, but she's not so nice as to not admit she's enjoying the attention, and glad she's coming down from that particular adrenaline high. Which means she leans a little toward him, smile lopsided. )
You're welcome to conduct a personal check.
( Though she can relent: it's just different to feel like someone other than Vanadi is worried about her in this way.
... Okay, so she'll relent and be serious in just a few more seconds. )
