About to walk off when
Two people who know each other run into each other in a club and chat shortly.
Lana: ...That's good to hear.
Trish is about to walk off when...
Lana: Wait, I... Can I just ask you something?
Is the sentence between Lana's pieces of dialog fine to the context? With "walk off" I intend to mean that Trish walks away from Lana but doesn't leave the club and the party.

That's quite right
To 'walk off' is to break social contact with someone. It can be done politely or rudely. It doesn't necessarily mean that the person has walked far away
- Hey, it's really crowded in here and I think I need a break. I'll just walk off for a while - sorry - see you in a few minutes though
