[ Amos almost misses the spectacle of whatever the hell is happening with that water, as he comes back around to check on the kid. There's an urgency in his steps, more concern than he's felt about much of anything since he's arrived here. He doesn't even know the kid's name, but he feels somehow responsible for him, at least through this situation. He's being counted on, and he takes that seriously. So he's not exactly looking forward to coming back only to find him already dead and gone.

— which seems nearly like a sure thing when all that water shoots up to the sky like it's just drinking up everything it dumped out tonight with the storm, and all Amos can do is try to steer clear of it before it sucks him up, too. He's never seen anything like it, and he's half sure if the kid hadn't drowned before, he's gone now, and he's not gonna be real happy about that. But by the time it dissipates and Amos comes closer, all he can think is they need to get as far away from this building as they can. Outwardly, other than his bleeding hands, he's relatively calm, but decisive as he leans in, attempting to hook a hand under the kid's elbow, to keep him steady as he gets to his feet. ]


Cut it close. Not a good idea to stick around here, come on.

[ The fact that he's alive, breathing, and awake, is really...something. He wasn't counting on it at all, and he's not too keen on taking chances lingering here. ]

You okay?
