[ Really, the calm is subconsciously appreciated. Amos doesn't even think to question it as he digs, that something might be a little off there, if only because the premise of the situation is absurd and somehow mundane all at once. People show up at the tree buried underground or in a cocoon. They then get out. Simple, and also unthinkable in a past life.
Though as the man is unearthed, it then becomes clear that something is, indeed, off.
The lack of blinking, mostly, considering how much of the man is still in the dirt. Amos shifts back a pace to give him space. ]
I wasn't expecting anyone. [ The smiling is also weird, maybe? He can't tell. But he also isn't particularly perturbed by it; more straightforward — this might as well be happening — with a hint of curiosity in an otherwise flat voice. ] Not every day people show up here.
[ A beat. ]
Though if you were going to show up anywhere, this'd be the place.
[ Another beat, before going back to the earlier question. ]
You need help getting all the way out of there, or you got the rest of it covered from here?
