[ Yeah, this just got very dramatic in the retelling of it. For Rick, it was less dramatic and more traumatic. Anyone from his world has PTSD in some form or another for obvious reasons. He's feeling the weight of all the death, all the Walkers, all the people he couldn't save from the dead, pretty heavily right now.
Given the familiarity between the two, Rick merely shakes his head when she says he tried to shoot her. He doesn't expect a friend of hers to believe that he didn't. He wouldn't believe a stranger over his people either. So he doesn't even try to defend himself.
He is surprised by the levity from the newcomer. And he files the name Letha away for further reference, also the word necromancy. The levity is welcome. And if Letha will listen to the newcomer then Rick is all for that. As for himself, he feels bad and he isn't sure why. He wouldn't undo what he did. He wouldn't even do it differently. But the woman is clearly upset and he's the cause of that for some reason.
When he's addressed personally, he shakes his head. ] Nah, I'm fine. You can take care of... this? [ Of Letha. Of the whole situation. And what the hell is necromancy? He doesn't let himself ask or say anything else because he doesn't want to push the woman even further. ]
