She pulled away immediately, hands jerking back to safety, as much in reaction to his eyes popping open as to the struggle against her touch. Except -
"Wait, please. Don't move yet." Her hands were back, on his shoulders, only this time they were curled, caught somewhere in between trying to help him up, because who wouldn't want to get out of a coffin, and keep him still. "Something might be broken. It's all right. You're safe, but please, don't move yet."
She wasn't honestly sure how much of her words would get through, how much of a mind was on the other side of the reactions. It did occur to her that he was a large man and a built one and the fact she was alone on an empty planet far from her ship and vulnerable did slide dark through her mind. The graveyard might have once been an army....
"Please," softer. "Just - I'll help you but please don't move until we're sure nothing's broken."
