Hearing someone call out nearby had Amos pulling himself up a little as the suddenness of the greeting surprised him, despite having been alert and on edge. When his gaze landed on the unfamiliar male, who he determined to be roughly his own age and size, Amos reflexively flashed a toothy smile. "Well well, not alone after all. Hi, I'm Amos," stepping a bit closer, the man let his grey tail wag a few times while he allowed his muscles to begin to relax.

For a moment he was suspicious; had this guy been here all along? Odd place to hang out. Then again, who was he to talk since he'd come here of all places to explore? Maybe that was what this guy was doing, exploring the caves or something.
