[ He was... not expecting her to take the whole Oracle thing seriously. He wouldn't have, at first; it just helps that he's been through the whole thing a couple of times now. Is aware of how important they are. Someone new would probably need some convincing; especially someone who seemed dismissive at first... He wouldn't have blamed her at all.
But her attention is squarely on him, and Amos drops his more casual nature. She's right on board already, and he's less inclined to fuck around in that case. ]
Make things up. Get even. Or, well. Get back ahead, I guess. [ Ah — the problem when he speaks too flippantly. And also just, by default, assumes Zenith should be ahead, like it's a win they will get. ] The other side, Meridian, they're... I don't get what they're going for, wanting to use the Oracles to bring everything back. That's not how these things work. Things die, and they stay dead. You don't get a rewind on that. Just makes more sense to keep moving forward, you know? Build something new.
[ She seems practical. No-nonsense. Surely she gets it — why Zenith has to be the one to win. ]
