[She's quick to start typing again, though she backspaces more than once while she does. Normally words come easily enough to her, even though she has no traditional voice to speak them with, but now her fingers move and nothing that makes sense comes from them.
It takes her a few moments before she can hold the tablet up again. When she does, the smile is mostly gone from her face, replaced with something similar to a conflicted expression.]
Thank you. I appreciate it-- even if that's not very practical here.
[She could let him leave, just like that. It would be easy enough. But the way he says it - "I'm probably just in the way." - makes her heart ache. She fumbles to type up another message, more quickly this time.]

You aren't in the way. Please don't think that.
