[ Her grin clues him in to the fact that her appealing isn't exactly the kind he'd been thinking of. Less pleasant to be around, more. Ah. Yeah.
He just shakes his head in response, corners of his lips quirking upwards slightly. Nah. Probably for the best that they don't go there. His inability to do any kind of smalltalk would probably get old before long.
He hadn't been expecting her to really go into who she is, what it is she does like that, but Amos listens intently, soaking up every word as they continue along their way. He thinks back on the women they left, the connections she could easily form with them; whoever's next along their path. He doesn't think he's been down this part of town before. Has no clue who lives here. Hasn't really interacted with anybody beyond the minimum necessary amount. Thinks back on a conversation they had once about travel; thinks back on the people he knows back home who would insist on helping as many people as they possibly could. The way he'd follow them because he knew they were right, in the same way he knows it'd never occur to him on his own to help somebody he doesn't know. He's gotta be around somebody else for that. Somebody like Himeka, apparently.
It's a simple statement, said simply, but Amos really means it when he says, ] You're a good person.
[ It's kind of the most meaningful thing he can tell someone else. Isn't sure how it is he can stick around her, though, when there's an entire settlement here. It's a lot easier to just be around the same people all the time, close quarters and all, when you're living on a ship together; here, he feels like he'd just slow Himeka down. Or be a nuisance.
Shit, it's hard to remember how he got by in the day-to-day back in Baltimore. Probably wasn't up to anything good, though. He has no idea how to rectify that here, amid all of these people he does not, will never care about.
Though, there is the rest of what she said, he figures. ] That kind of thing happen a lot? Saving nations from the void or whatever.
[ Which seems secondary to everything else, really, but there's only so much he knows how to talk about any of this, and turns out fantastical experiences are a bit easier for him. ]
