[ She can believe that. As sensitive and mindful as Amos is, she can feel the cold steel in him too, the part of him that probably makes him a good fighter. His statement should feel immoral, maybe even frightening, but it doesn't. There's a part of her that understands how it is to feel so detached from everyone else that it becomes hard to think of them as people — though she may never go so far as to wish their deaths, and she's aware that she's a fool for being sentimental about people who would gladly see her dead.
She wonders what the difference is between her and Amos (aside from the obvious ones that come at a glance). It's strange to relate to someone so quickly yet exist in such a difference place from him. Maybe it's as simple as a gulf in experience. When she's as old as he is and has seen as many things, maybe she'll understand him perfectly, be just as faithless in state of the world.
In any case, he's finished his tea, which means their break time is over. She nods again to say that she understands his viewpoint and reaches for his empty cup so that she can deliver it to whatever kitchen exists here. ]
Even if your homeworld wasn't kind to you, I hope things have been better for you in this one.
[ Which may be a weird thing to hope for when they've been saddled with this heavy work. ]
