When it came to relationships, Carol was a bit like an adolescent. Maybe it was a traumatic childhood. Maybe it had something to do with the accident (probably not). But she was used to casual flings, or whatever the hell she and John were doing. Sure, she had teammates that worried about her in the past like Talos, but she wasn't used to being singled out in situations like what happened out there.
Then again, if she really had to admit it, she'd been worried about him, too. Which was why she was so mad at him in the first place.
"Not necessarily a bad thing..." She admitted, still smirking, but giving it a casual shrug. "Just...not sure if that's what we wanted..."
She was doing what she always did when things started getting awkward like this. Putting up walls. Walls were good. Walls were safer.
