[ He watches her cautiously, respects the distance between them as she bandages herself up. It's in his instincts to come over and help, but she's got it. She can take care of herself. And they are on opposite sides here... Any wrong move from either of them and this will likely turn into something worse.
She could crush him, easily.
He could also disable her by sending her back into the air, easily.
It's an effective impasse, one that lets them both behave in the moment. Amos thinks he can feel her searching him, probing him for any weakness the same as he's doing to her, only his had been announced, and he doesn't know what to do about that. He doesn't let people know about that particular part of his past, and now someone on the other side knows. Has picked up enough.
He inclines his chin as she relays what she's been through to him. Alright. ]
That's probably good, then.
[ Is it? They're on different sides. ]
We can maybe keep it that way.
[ He's battered and bruised. He's tired. He's wary. He doesn't think he wants to do this, doesn't want to mindlessly leap in and try to drain her life force.
Still, he keeps his muscles tensed, ready. And respects their distance.
