[Ahsoka doesn't let go for a while. Instead, she holds tight-- just lets herself be in the moment, lets herself enjoy the rare hug from the person who is the closest thing she has to family. Lets herself finally feel safe and protected by the presence of Anakin Skywalker once more, even though she knows neither of those things are true.
This place is as dangerous as any battle they've ever been in. And judging from Anakin's words, there's no guarantee at all that he isn't still dead, from her perspective. She has to savour this moment and every other while she still can.
A small part of her mind notices that she's no longer short enough to fit her head under his chin when they hug anymore. Instead she rests her head on his shoulder, to the side. When she finally speaks again, it's a little muffled-- she still doesn't bother to pull back.]
... You know ... we never did this enough. Before.
