[Ken isn't very convinced about that. Still he has no arguments other than "but you might." It's all up in chance now, isn't it? He lets out a sharp breath -- almost a gasp -- but he quiets after, silent for a few seconds, then steps forward to raise his arms and pull Mabel into a hug. He's holding her too tightly for it to be just a friendly gesture.]
[Mabel squeezes him just as tight, patting him on the back in a half-hearted attempt to keep this a little less emotional. Thinking to herself about how this is a pretty great sincere best friend hug (and mentally saying pat pat) is a good distraction from everything else. Plus it keeps the crying to a minimum.]

[His grip on her tightens.]
I won't. Here, where I can reach you, I won't let anything happen to you.
