[ Amos nods, frowns. He can definitely see how the guy is a coward - hiding out on the moon while people end up thrust into this world, never once making himself known until he apparently had no other choice fits the bill - but keeping him alive just so he can suffer, in Hook's opinion, is where they deviate.

He's not about to get into a debate into the morality of that, though; he knows he isn't suited to arguing any cases on that front. Practicality, on the other hand. ]

If he's causing problems, wouldn't it be better to just take him out? Or do you think he could somehow be a solution?

[ There are too many unknowns to the entire situation, and that so many answers seem to be tied to one guy - that's not something Amos is comfortable with.

Being asked about royalty, though, is almost enough to make him forget his unease; he exhales in amusement at the idea. ]

I don't think so. Don't really pay attention to any of that stuff though. Spent the past couple of decades in the Belt and they definitely don't have royalty.

[ They're the most oppressed class, always being used by Earth and Mars and subject to the whims of whatever corrupt governor may be out there. Amos isn't one to take up causes on his own, though. It's just kinda hard not to notice it when you're living there. (Though being born low class on Earth hadn't exactly been fantastic, either.) ]
