[ Gray watches him with a small smile, though she senses that there's something else here, something deeper than she can see, maybe even something hurtful.
They've all come from someplace broken, whether that place was broken when they were there or broken when they arrived in Horos. If Gray was hopeless at trying to understand other people in her homeworld, which was full of people so different that they might as well have been a different species, then she may as well not try with her fellow Aions, who might as well be aliens.
Yet there's something unspeakably human in Amos's greeting, an inconsequential utterance to a random cat on the street. It's beyond Gray's ability to parse the feeling behind what she's seeing, but her own feeling is a little like she could cry.
However, she manages not to cry, which she considers very good for her. She watches in content silence as Peaches literally becomes wrapped around Amos's finger in aid of him finding the perfect petting spot. With the way the cat rubs the base of her ear against Amos's finger, almost bossy, maybe it could be said that she's the one petting him. ]
