[ Amos is still crouched down when Vander communes him, but his words make him lift his head above the last of the pillar's base shielding him. He responds with the quick sensation of a nod — got it — before righting himself in full, surveying the scene before him properly. He can't see her through all of the water, which he needs to do in order to use the sword; he can't very well charge alongside Vander, either.

He draws the greatsword from its sheath resting on his back, taking a more circular arc, looking to come up adjacent to the Siren, rather than right in front of her. The singing has stopped, but there's no telling when it may start again; even as the water comes down — even as he fights for a proper line of sight—

She's talking. Her voice is still strange, unnatural, and holds the potential for danger, but she's just talking. And he hardly cares for what the Siren says — has absolutely nothing to say to her — but the fact that she's visible now. That she's given them an opening.

Amos sees her go for the spear, but the key part is that he sees her, so he stabs his shadow with the greatsword and is met with the bizarre sensation of falling through it, only to come up and out from the Siren's shadow — and right behind this massive, rigid creature that looks so much more imposing this close.

But at least he and Vander are on opposite sides of her now. That'll have to work to their advantage; she can't freeze the both of them at the same time now, right?

He lifts the sword up to aim at cutting whatever part of the Siren he can. ]
