[ Just as Amos' actions were unmistakeable to Estinien, the inverse is true as well; Amos snarls right back, but he is at a significant disadvantage here. He abandons his pocket in favour of bringing his arms up to protect himself, and that's where Estinien's talons connect — ripping through the sleeves, dealing him scratches deep enough to draw blood.
Scratches that make his heart rate spike because what does it mean that Estinien's touched him like this.
He doesn't want to get infected by Innocence again. He can't. And as his mind is racing, it's all he can do to dodge back before Estinien's tail connects, delivers him some real damage, and he's got a choice to make.
If Estinien can still fight, then maybe it's okay—
Though Aerith's words do break through in the moment, and Amos just. She's irrelevant right now. Until Estinien is handled, and he doesn't have the time or wherewithal to push his case on her, but regardless, he yells back, ] They go unsaved anyway!
[ He'd had to save himself, and it had come at least a decade too late.
He reaches out to try to wrap his hands around Estinien's tail, try to use it to throw him to the ground if he can. Fuck it if he cuts himself open again, right? He's in this deep. Close range should be his speciality — but Estinien really has too many advantages on him here like this, and all Amos is going to have on his side are strength and desperation. ]
