Hercules is not used to not knowing what's going on inside the Drift, but that's what he gets for having a copilot whose native tongue is something other than English. Memories are one thing, but thoughts...
He was just trying to make Gipsy feel a little more comfortable; the last time they walked together, he had been so exhausted by the experience that he needed a few days to recuperate. The last thing he wanted was for her to react badly to the thought of him getting injured or something. He knows how protective she is of him.
Which is why, in hindsight, he shouldn't be surprised that she snipes back at Mako for whatever it was she said.
Mako was pretty surprised, though, jumping and letting out a 'meep' of surprise that sends her rocking in her harness. Which, apparently knocked her out of her current mindset and into a tailspin.
"Shit!" He can't reach her from where he is right now, being separated and all that, but Herc still tries. "Mako!"
Mako! Dammit, focus! You're chasing the rabbit, do not do this. Mako!
