[ dextera is ready to fight for what he believes is the best decision. amos should die—no one should be forced to sacrifice anything to rescue one person who doesn’t deserve it.
truthfully, he doesn’t entirely recall what about amos makes him so mad. the details don’t feel tangible in his mind; there’s a mix of frustration and pity, and of course, dextera remembers attacking him in broad daylight with the same frustration he feels now. the only thing that’s stopping him from tackling amos to the ground is the fact that he’s in a group, being watched. ]
…
[ watched by the archangel, no less. any drama in their reunion has been cut short by this demanding predicament they’ve been placed in, and part of dextera’s desire to make it out alive is to ensure that he can cling to the archangel in the ways he needs.
eyes dark, he turns to make his appeal to both the archangel and hythlodaeus, even if he doesn’t know the latter. he points with urgency at amos, a punctuated jab of his arm as if to say look!
this is who we want to get rid of!
dextera may not always see his own worth, but in a case like this, he has knowledge to offer with these two. they don’t know amos. dextera barely does either, but he trusts his own gut reactions. ]
