[If it were anyone but the Hulk - if it were Bruce, even - she would be a little more sarcastic about him leaving her (again), but with this part of Bruce, she can't. Whether it's the memory of their first real meeting, the weight of her role in his creation, or maybe just knowing that he really doesn't think he has a choice and why, something calls on her to treat him gently. Instead of crossing her arms, she reaches toward his face which is still easily out of her reach.]
Don't go. You don't have to go. Stay with me. [She gestures to the exposed slope. She means he doesn't have to run, but also that he doesn't have to transform yet. Bruce will forgive her that. She doesn't spend enough non-traumatic time with her lover's alter-ego and Bruce already wakes alone too often.]
