Amos shifts his position slightly, comfortable. Resumes leaning against the bars. He's seen people come and go on visits; this once he's actually enjoying, though.

"Yeah, I did the whole walking thing, too," he says, voice casual. "Just through some protected wooded area along the Chesapeake, but still, that was a few days before we were able to get our hands on some bikes. Hell of a workout if you let it turn into one." A beat. "It was real quiet for us, too. That was a surprise. Lot of people where I'm from, normally. Lotta people got wiped out I guess. Kinda surreal, getting the chance to actually be alone like that."
He pauses, taking a second, debating if he should continue. According to Nadine, it's supposed to be depressing. But it wasn't. So, "Kinda liked that."
