She didn't blame Connor. Not really. After all, she knew people changed and times changed. Had seen it too many times. But that didn't make it any easier to hear. And then to add in everything else, fictional characters being real. Being a fictional character. Not having Connor but having him and not knowing what to make of it. Really, the only logical thing to do was walk as fast as she could. Or at least try to until Connor stopped her and made it known she was going in the wrong direction. And apparently this Seal thing was behind it all. Why Connor wasn't her Connor, why she was stuck here when she could have been home with him and Rex and just dealing with the flu.
Instead, she let the silence fall before he started explaining the telly thing. How it had happened. How he had learned. Was it better he knew? That he at least understood where she was from and why she was reacting this way? Maybe. But that didn't make it any easier to handle. Because apparently she wasn't even real. Her parents were dead. The foster system had done a number on her and now she wasn't even real? So she just hugged Rex to her tighter, thankful that he just nuzzled her shoulder as if knowing she was hurting.
Animals followed their instincts. They didn't lie.
She had denied her instincts, her feelings for so long with Connor because of fear and now it was as if it didn't matter.
There wasn't much she could say about how he saw their story. Didn't know how far it even went. But it apparently at least went over their relationship so she just gave a small nod, uncertain if there were even words she could say to that. It still seemed far fetched to her, but then again, before meeting Nick Cutter, the idea that anomalies could open up and creatures from the past and future could come through also would have sounded ridiculous. She'd gone to the future. She'd survived a year in the past. What was to say she couldn't enter a world where she didn't exist as she knew it.
The comment on him missing her snapped Abby from her internal musings and trying to come to terms with everything that was suddenly happening around her. So she just gave him a weak smirk. She was tired and sick and hurting but she was still Abby.
"Yeah, well. I'd like to fight this Seal for this whole thing."
Not like it was possible. But Abby was the type who tried to fight things. Medieval knights? No problem. Why not mystical seals as well? It was that or Connor. And she knew that he would always try to be there for her. Even when he was being so incredibly stupid and blind.... okay, so that moment she had again feared she'd lose him after all, but in the end... So after all he had done for her, even if it was her time line and not his... he was still Connor, right?
She was getting a serious headache and dizzy from all of this. Of all the times to be pulled through an anomaly or Seal that needed to be kicked. She had to be sick on top of it.
