[ Like... come on, dude. He knows he's hit Rand in the head hard a couple of times now, but surely that much still had to be obvious to him.
Amos is able to sit up a little straighter, using the wall for support, a little less helpless now. Bit by bit, he's gonna get back there. ]
The Regent's fair. It's not like they go after people for no reason. You attack them, they defend themselves. You rebel against them, they remind you not to. You disobey them, they tell you where you went wrong, and then you get to try again. [ That last one was firsthand experience; he knows what he's talking about. ] None of it's a bad thing. You only get smacked down if you really fuck up.
[ Which is kinda what the Pleroma are doing. Really fucking this up for everyone else. Not like anything had been going wrong before then.
He shifts a little, brings his right hand to rest in his lap. Better there than on the floor if he isn't about to pull himself back up any time soon. ]
I mean, this is my fault. I wasn't able to bring you back with me the first time. So we're fixing that now. I'm hoping the Regent will help you when we get back to Achamoth, get the Kenoma in you. Then you can get a second chance to do the right thing.
