[ He still shakes the toy every now and then, still giving Peaches something to react to. Amos' attention is on her now more than Gray, though really, he just wants both of them to be happy. And making Peaches happy is probably a key to making Gray happy, so that's where his actions lie. ]
She did some bad things, and she hated herself for it. I mean, that was the right call. Meant she felt guilty. But she was real withdrawn and quiet because of it. We got to spend some time together... she kinda became my apprentice, at least up until she had to go to prison. It let me get under her shell, though. See who she really was.
[ His voice is a low, quiet drawl; all he's doing is explaining something, but there's a touch of wistfulness to it. Amos wouldn't say it out loud, wouldn't acknowledge it because he wouldn't know it's there, but he does miss her. ]
I wanted to help her learn how to live with the fact that she'd fucked up pretty bad. Not like your entire life ends just because you make a mistake, even if it's a big one. Not if you feel bad after. So, I was gonna do that. She shied away from most everyone else but we got close. And then the world ended, so it didn't matter anymore.
[ But this Peaches is still here, so he can keep playing with her. That part does matter. ]
