[ The Hulk watches her, seemingly satisfied with her reassurance, despite the fact she's still recovering from the whole mess. She's not passed out at least, and she's not injured that he can tell, so he limits himself to letting her get some air, all the while more or less hovering over her.
It only lasts until she reaches out, though. Her touch is relaxing at first, but then her fingers move too close to his injuries, and Bruce has enough presence of mind in there to get the beast to pull away from her.
He steps back, turning just so, grunting as he draws his arm closer to his chest and hunches as if to keep the injuries and any possible blood there from her. After all, it may be difficult to make the Hulk bleed, but it's not impossible— and he doesn't want her touching that. ]
