In person, Eren's preoccupation is evident enough on multiple levels--visible in physical demeanor anyway, but a thread of unhappiness winds into the Force from his direction as well, weighed by worries that have already tread worn paths into the mind. Obi-Wan could hardly try to guess why, however--between the medical tent and the events of the week, he could easily see the source stemming from multiple instances.
He hopes Eren hasn't lost anyone from Blue yet, at least. Some of their number have worked very quickly to complete their mission already--and that would potentially make this meeting quite a bit more difficult. ...But well, one step at a time. If Obi-Wan himself is preoccupied, he doesn't show it; instead he draws to a halt a respectably conversational distance away from the rover wheel, watching as Eren rises and then jumps off--with a practiced ease that's easy to spot. He smiles wryly, adjusts the box under his arm.]
Ah, I never thought about that! Using the rover wheels as a vantage...not a bad idea, really. I bet that's hardly the most difficult thing you've ever climbed, though, is it?
[He looks back over at the rover wheel when Obi-Wan brings it up.]
That? No way.
[Offhand, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.]
We can't rely on our gear all the time.
[Trainees have to learn to maneuver at heights without the gear as well as with it. The instructors will intentionally—and without warning—cut their anchors and their safety lines to force them to react. Those who can't cut it die. That's how it is.]
