Almost as soon as Derek told her to act normal the fog seemed to lift from Kristina's eyes. She straightened her posture but didn't look around or anything as one would if they woke in a strange place or situation. Normal was an unspecific adjective, but minds can be very flexible and understanding. After Derek excused himself and said that he was taking Kriststina home, she leaned out of the booth and looked at the party, "Sorry Amber, I just don't feel quite myself," she apologised in a close to regular voice. After the show that she had put on when Derek triggered her by accident, none of them would doubt her words. The apology came because normally, Kristina was polite to her friends, even telling an occasional white lie.<br/><br/>When she was set down outside she stood without assistance. As commanded, Kristina followed Derek to his car, then got in. On instinct, she put on her seatbelt.  It seemed the habituated actions still continued, even in the tranced state. "Why would I want you to hold me up? Stop being such a dumb-ass," she said then smiled a little. "Ever seen your jaw when you are doing math Dee? Now that's a slack jaw," she replied. It was obvious that she wasn't just a flesh puppet unlike when she first fell into the trance.
