[ Her words leave Alex speechless for a moment. She hadn't expected Chandra to feel that way about the incident, far from it in fact.
When she does manage some words, the confusion can still be heard in her voice. ]
But I didn't..I didn't have to go that far. And my intentions were...selfish.
[ There was nothing wrong with wanting physical contact, and Chandra deserved whatever touch she wanted. But the circumstances surrounding it, the person involved, that didn't sit well with her. ]

[Chandra reaches out for Alex's hand, closing a glove gently around it.]
So it may have been selfish on both our ends. I'm not upset with you, either way.
