[Estinien knew from the start that arguing with Amos was pointless. The man has long since decided what is right, and it's with the sort of unshakeable vindication that makes for a poor debate partner. Estinien can even understand the roots of despair with the human condition from which Amos speaks.
Unfortunately, there's nothing to be done about that. He and Amos had made their choices, and now Aerith had, too. It was time to fight for them.
Amos's hand does close around Estinien's tail, as painful as his spines make that. It forces him to the ground once again, landing heavy on his side. It startles him for a moment, his wings beating in an effort to regain his footing. Amos is strong now... much stronger than he remembers him being. It means Estinien's first priority has to be getting away from that grasp - and so rather than trying to overpower Amos into letting him go, he decides to make being that close as hazardous as possible.
Throat brimming with heat, he spits another fireball at Amos. This time, he aims for Amos's body rather than the ground at his feet.]
