[ He's here because Vander is his friend, but that all kind of goes out the window the second a child is involved.
Amos hadn't expected to come down here needing to rescue a kid. Even as Adelfoúla had led them all down, he hadn't thought too much of it — until she had been murdered, and then he'd been able to put that aside, because Vander was (probably) still alive and therefore the priority. Seeing Adelfoúla again, knowing she was still alive in some fashion...
He does need the prompting to get back on task, because kids are just more important to him. Always will be.
Amos swears under his breath as he finally manages to free the fragment of Adelfoúla's shard; it was the kind of thing he couldn't rush, so the side remarks were unappreciated. And he really wishes he had something to carry it in, but a pocket is going to have to do.
That settled, he straightens back up, withdrawing his gun from his holster once again. ]
I'm coming, I'm coming.
[ Yes, he understands the urgency of the situation, but he was fucking busy with something more important, okay? Scowl on his face as he turns back to the doorway where Hayame is occupied with those creatures, he spots another one skitter out and into the room from under her, and promptly shoots it, killing it with a single blast.
Holy fuck is he happy to have a gun again.
There isn't exactly time to see to Hayame's leg — that'll have to come later — so he does the next best thing he can and joins her, taking his place in the doorway's remaining space. Looking up at the steps he sees just what she's been saving their asses from, creature upon creature piling themselves together along steps, and fires at the masses of bodies, over and over and over. Anywhere where they're grouped together, anywhere where he has the highest likelihood of hitting them, in a dispassionate attempt to thin the herd. ]
