Kon can see the muscle tension, can practically feel it when she does it. Like everything else got stiffer around her and that was even without him using his TTK touching her. The fact she relaxed so quickly made him realise he had his own tension and maybe that was what he'd felt? Tense because he didn't want her to pull away? That distraction was enough for him to take and he let out a small, quick laugh. More of just a 'ha' than anything else, but the amusement was still behind it.
"I think you'd be lying to yourself if you were saying it's no big deal. Parts of this place I can't understand the way you do cause you know, the whole I can fly and break guns apart while blowing bubbles in gum of juggling cars. But I can try to see it your way, like you try to be okay with it. And I get that it can just be so...weird."
If Kon hadn't have forgiven Hayley the way he had, then he doubted he would have forgiven Kal for what he did. He'd still be putting the blame on people and he'd probably have locked himself away every time Lex Luthor showed up, just in case. He'd forgiven Hayley because it was the right thing to do and why spend all that time being so angry at someone when they'd made a mistake? He trusted her because he felt good around her. He felt like they could be friends and not just pretend to be with each other to keep things easy for everyone else. Hayley had felt the need to attack Kal at one point and it wasn't fair that she thought Kon was just a cousin to Supes when he was actually...part of him.
"Because you're a decent person. Cause you're good at arguing and no one has ever been that genuine in an argument with me? I don't have a lot but they tend to be over things like 'which burger is better' 'which babe is the hottest' that kinda thing. You might not speak your mind all the time but when you do you don't really hold back. You're brave.
Hayley, you're worth peoples time you know. Worth attention. That's why I bother, cause I like you. Bart clearly likes you as well and probably thinks something similar."
