[ He only looks back at her when she says she can do it.
Amos' gaze remains cool and assessing as he sweeps his eyes over the broken part of her body, at the way Hayame seems to be doing her best to keep it together. He assumes it's just shock and pain she's trying to suppress, because that's what makes the most sense, is what he would probably do — it's not like he has the cultural context to understand what such an injury could mean for her. Like, yeah, half of her looks like a horse, but nobody would just put her down, she's sentient?
So she must be in a lot of pain. That's all.
And it's not like that can't be pushed out of sight, out of mind when there's something that needs doing, when survival is at stake. She just needs a little help to help him. She said as much. ]

[ Amos is making his way over towards her, slowly, just in case she's going to pull a weapon on him after all... and when it appears that won't be the case, he speeds up. Scales the little hill of potting soil that she's resting on at the base of this mountain, looking down at her body. ]
So, is there a good way for me to carry you? I've never had to do this before.
[ Lifting jinba has never been common in his line of work; is there anything he needs to know to avoid any further damage... or awkwardness... Since they're going to have to work together for a bit here, might as well start off on the right foot. ]
