[ He feels the strength he's grown accustomed to over the months return to him, feels his connection to gravity come back. He actually hasn't missed either too much in their time here — because he has his gun, and it's doing everything he needs it to — but shit, he's not going to object to everything else coming back, too. Who knows when he'll need it all, especially considering Akua's musing. ]

I dunno if any of them have abilities. They all seem pretty mindless. [ A pause as he takes a second to aim, fire, kill another creature that's caught his eye, the shot punctuating his point. ] But we should probably be getting out of here ASAP.

[ Not just because of the threat of danger, but because Vander still sounds a little out of it. Feels out of it. And because Amos doesn't want to spend a whole lot more time down here, anyway. ]

Don't anyone go thinking they can be a hero. [ Vander, the name implied but left unsaid. Just take the help if you need it, buddy. ] If we're ready to go, I can take point up the steps. Might want to switch to bringing up the rear when we're back in open hallways, though. In case anything tries to come at us from behind.

[ Since he's just has a bit more maneuverability than Hayame; with that polearm of hers she'd do well taking the lead once they're back on level ground.

That and, if she does end up carrying Vander... Well. He'd be safer closer to the front, anyway.

Amos risks a glance back into the room behind him, tilting his head towards the stairs. They ready to get out of here or what? ]
