[ As soon as the ritual began, Quetzalcoatl had been more concerned with finding her people, honestly. It meant Meri only, with her convictions as strong as they are, but at least finding them all accounted for (if maybe worse for wear), she can give time elsewhere. It probably should be for herself, because there’s something scratching at the back of her mind, but no. The little bit she indulges in the thought just makes her push forward and towards others instead.
There’s probably a Meri or two she finds to talk to first, but eventually, she sees Amos huddled up with his head pressed to his knees. She remembers what Voryn and Ruby had said, and especially Ruby, but… She sees someone hurting and vulnerable, and it’s someone who had been kind, not only to her, but to his people.
So, she comes to take a seat in front of him, sitting cross-legged and comfortable. They’re still only acquaintances (even if their night out in a Highstorm bar had been fun!), so she won’t intrude or assume by sitting next to him. Even before she speaks, he’ll feel the intent behind her words as Communion connects them. She’s warm and bright, but gently so. ]
Hola, señor.
[ Though even without Communion, her Spanish makes it clear who’s joined him. It’s just a soft greeting to start and to see how open he is to talk. ]
