[ Having Toko nearby is ideal, both because he can protect her better and because he does not have to guess where she is. Being Force sensitive does mean if he tried he could pick her out of a crowd, but they do not have the sort of bond he shares with Anakin, or the sort he had forged with his Force-null battalion after so long on the front. Given long enough, and enough more cars or situations like this, it wouldn't be so far fetched though.
She clutches the back of his tunic, and he fights the urge to put his hand back to keep her safe behind him to instead keep his focus forward. ]
I think it is quite clear they are more than just animals.
[ Though it is strange and interesting that Toko had previously mentioned bears, and here they are, though not in the way she remembers. Obi-Wan can only surmise that this is either a literal alternate dimension, or another case like Danaca.
Obi-Wan puts his hand out and the bear climbing over the delivery truck freezes, then lifts clear off the ground. It's legs pinwheel in confusion as it floats five, ten feet off the ruined ground — and then with a sweep of Obi-Wan's hand, goes careening into a cement wall. The wall cracks under the force, and the bear slumps either unconscious or dead to the ground.
Without waiting to see if it will get back up, he takes her smaller hand in his free one and starts running that same direction. It is, unfortunately, the direction of the tower. His lightsaber stays ignited at his side, prepared to deflect any of those lasers that might come their direction. ]
