[ Seeing Lottie like this — feeling her like this — hurts, a sense of helpless bubbling up in Amos on top of everything else. He used to have healing magic, but he doubts it'd even begin to cover what she's going through right now. And as she looks up at him, he can't help but feel painfully, painfully useless.
It's not a great feeling. So even as she tells him he doesn't have to do anything for her — even as she does not pull away from him — he tries to find his own resolve. Because everything about this has sucked, but this part is maybe the worst. What she's going through is so much worse.
Amos doesn't pull away, either. If anything he shifts the hand she isn't holding up to grip her shoulder, solid and present and protective. He really can't do anything else — can't so much as offer her a tissue or anything — but try to communicate that he's here for her, no matter what. ]
I want to. [ His eyes crinkle in sympathy. ] Don't think there's anything else I can do for you. At least let me give you that much.
[ Everything is so wrong — so off — that it's hard to parse through it all. It's just... Lottie needs help. In more ways than one, he thinks, but her physical problems are so immediate, it's difficult to see much further beyond them... ]
