Smiling came a little easier in the real world than it did in the Matrix, and Neo gave her an understanding one as he held out his hands.
"When Morpheus pulled me out, I freaked out," he said told her, both in reassurance that she wasn't the only one who had a hard time handling the change and to make her feel better. Misery shared and all that. "I tried to run, probably would have hit someone if I hadn't fallen over. Then I threw up in front of everyone. And I mean everyone. They were all standing there, the whole crew, staring at me, the answer to the prophecy, and there I was, laying on the floor in a ball, sick, not sure if I wanted to start screaming or crying."
The short laugh he gave was slightly embarrassed. "You're doing a lot better than me. Honest." The smile turned into a grin, open and amused. "When they ask how you took it, you can say you slapped me, called me every name in the book, and then demanded to see the boss. They'll be impressed."
