[ They need a victory. Several, as a matter of fact, but first things first — they can start with the one. She agrees.

His eyes crack open enough to see that smile, his gaze that much more focused for it. Despite how relaxed he is throughout this entire process, despite how well he's managing the pain, he is very much awake and aware now, mind coming back online in full force. ]
There might be people like that in Springstar. Lots of people live there; you never know. You got a way to get away just in case? Wouldn't want anything to happen to you.
[ He's still an Exalt, after all, and this could be devastating if anyone gets caught... but probably moreso if they're a spy. As much as the mission needs to be completed, it's not as though Amos wants to lose anyone along the way for it — but certainly not someone like Kiritsubo, someone with whom he'd hit it off right away, and someone who he now has reason to believe is dedicated.
So, first things first, though maybe the part where he's inquiring about her safety first plays a part in letting her know: this is going to be something big. ]
