Between Bart, Jor-El, and now Kon, Hayley was being genuinely overwhelmed with people being grateful to her and caring way more about her than she was used to. It was difficult to accept, which was part of what made her so worried about screwing it up and equally inclined to run away from all of it.
"Why don't you, uh.. stay there.. while I go make some more coffee." She used the weak excuse to stand and move swiftly and awkwardly into the kitchen. There she pulled down another mug, but the coffee was already made and she just stood there for a moment, trying not to panic.
She'd never been great at surprises and this was definitely a surprise. The more it sank in, the more it was freaking her out.
