I am sure your T deals with stuff like this all the time. I know you are worried about it, so if you are, and your T says it's OK to reach out to her, then email her and let her know you are concerned that you may have come off a little rude and wanted to apologize.

Like I said, I am sure your T deals with this all the time and it probably didn't phase her, and I bet she understands why you are defensive :-)
