(He's given her a lot. Besides, she's going, and she can't take any more. There's a lump in her throat.) Just wanted to tell you. Didn't want you to find out.
(She laughs at that, a sudden burst of sound, because it's a very Obi-Wan thing to say... and she's hoping he won't notice the way her eyes burn, vision blurring at the words.)
Don't think so.
(She runs her tongue over her teeth.) I'm scared.
(Of saying goodbye, mostly. Scared of how it's going to make her feel.)
[ he wraps his arms around her, warm and enveloping. hugs are not something obi-wan does regularly. physical affection is not his forte, but he understands the call for it.
(Hugs are something Abby doesn't get regularly, and she thinks they're something she'd like to start doing more. When she leans back, she has to wipe her eyes.
There are a few people left to go before she'll feel content. This sucks. She feels bad that it has to be so quick.)
... I have to keep going. (She knows he'll understand, but even so.) I'm sorry.
[ sometimes, people must part. for a calling, for a reason. far be it for obi-wan to comment on it. at least she came here to speak to him. his heart wishes it could do more, be more.
(He's avoiding her... honestly, she gets it, but this is more important than what happened the last time they spoke in person.) I'm waiting for him to give me the okay.
(That's the hard part. She might not even have the rest of today and she needs the extra time to be with Clarisse. Leaving her is going to be the hardest part of this.)
I'll figure something out. If he won't see me, I'll call. (And if he doesn't pick up she'll message. It will have to be enough.) You two are gonna be okay, right?
Okay. (Gotta believe him. Not like she can stick around to hold him to it... Ha.
She looks back over her shoulder. Can hear the ocean from here. Or maybe it's in her head? Either way it's a very calming sound... a balm, on the ache in her heart.)
I'll see you. (She doesn't want this to be the end, so she's not going to act like it is.)

[ his hands slip away, but he keeps them open if she wants a hug. ]

(She doesn't want to forget about him, and- after a moment's hesitation- she steps forward into his open arms for a hug.
It's kind of... fatherly? It's weird, but really nice, so she holds on.)

And if you see your stupid Padawan around, can you tell him to message me back? (She'd like to say goodbye to him too, if she could...)

Why not speak to him now? He lives here.

You'll end up waiting forever. You might as well go and shake him a bit.

If only she could pause this moment. Why isn't there enough time? It isn't fair, but she makes herself laugh through it, a soft, sad noise.)
Don't make me cry again, old timer.
Thanks for everything.
