[ Amos had also been letting his beard grow, but it was carefully maintained, something he was very conscious of rather than letting it happen. He wasn't sure why he was, apart that he liked it.
He also had been carefully avoiding Alex for a while. Since their fight, and calming down, he'd made a decision - if Alex didn't want him to care, then he wouldn't. He knew they both had said things they didn't truly mean, harsh words meant to hurt as much as bullets could. But now, Amos was living his life, just... without Alex in it.
It didn't feel good. And Amos was trying to find a way to apologize, some way that would make sense, that would let Alex know that Amos had gone too far, even if it came from a good place. He just wasn't there yet. He didn't know how to.
Which is why he's startled and unsettled when Alex knocks on his door. Amos stands from where he'd been checking over some tools at his desk, and pushes the open door button. He doesn't say anything. ]
