[ Vander's doing a good job of distracting her — maybe too good a job if she's aiming for him now, and Amos can't have that.
It's all words, meaningless in a life-and-death scenario. The only thing that counts for anything is action, which is precisely what Amos is taking. Too late to stop her from attacking Vander again, which is irritating; no matter how poor she is with a weapon, she's big enough to be able to do some real damage with one.
But so is Amos, as he gets high enough to have a clean shot at her neck, putting all of this strength in his swing, aiming for decapitation.
He also only gets the one shot, the movement from his swing — whatever the result — sending him to slowly drift away from her, leaving him completely vulnerable if he missed in any way and is spotted. High risk, high reward, but with the threat she poses it has to be done. ]
