Hayley doesn't exactly understand Kryptonian society or the implications of his actions, but she knows enough to realize that an apology from Jor-El is a pretty big deal. The guy runs mainly on logic and science, things which are rarely wrong, and she kind of wonders if he doesn't have a little pride about admitting some of his potentially smaller faults as well. The plain words, unburdened by clauses or justifications, help.

Another chill runs the length of her spine when he states no wish to harm her. She believed him, before the bottle. If he would treat her with respect after she attacked his son, then the idea of him hurting her was pretty out there. And yet- he did hurt her. Physically and worse.

"What happened?" She asks evenly, not moving from where she is in the slightest. Her shaking slowly begins to lessen without her noticing at all. Hayley knows they weren't themselves, but she doesn't understand what they were or why they were that way.
