Yeah i think they will be glad if you sincerely ask them what they were trying to say and give them a chance to calmly explain themselves.
Im not saying you should always be forgiving, but as you said "texting" is often shit for communicating things like this.
I also personally wouldnt want someone to apologize to me, until they actually understand why i was hurt, because thats just not a sincere apology.
I hope they didnt mean anything by it but good luck either way ^^
