[ In one way, Amos is aware of the way Tony is following him. Is even honoured by it, because it means a lot to him for someone to put that level of trust in him. He's wanted to be this for other people, but actually getting there? Living with it in this moment? It feels good.
In another way, though, he's still a little oblivious, not seeing how deep this may be running for him. For Amos, it's just... guide the kid. Protect him. Be a good role model, look after him. Not like a parent, but... ... a guardian.
And in a third way, he's really stoked about this cheeseburger. Cognizant that he doesn't have any money on him, so he's eyeing the guy in front of him, because he had grown up a bit of a delinquent, and this isn't too new a scene...
Turns his attention back to Tony, smiles at him confirming the flowers' colour. It's sweet. Nice of him, to do for his mom—
Blinks at the question, because he hadn't been expecting that. ]
No, I had a mom. She died young. [ It's not like he's upset about it or anything, merely relaying it as fact. It was so long ago. Not like he had a chance to get attached. ] She would've raised me if she could, but since she was gone, her friend did. Gave me as good a life as possible.
[ A beat as he looks back ahead at the line, at the guy in front of them, measuring him up... But then back to Tony, still soft. ]
Friend of mine had three moms and five dads, and they all raised him. [ He laughs a little, because what the fuck, right? ] Another friend said she was raised by an aunt, but I dunno if they were related by blood or if she was just someone who took her in or what. It's different for everyone, I think. You kind of just end up with who you end up with, and then you go from there.
