[ He's that much more alert the second Matt mentions Innocence.
Amos' eyes flash, gazing up at Matt from down in his crouch. And it's. He's glad he isn't fucking this up. Glad he did get Matt actually talking, eventually. But this is now, officially, so much bigger. And if Matt doesn't want condolences — not like Amos is the type to be able to offer them properly, anyway — then he can jump right into the practical, which is where this answer seems to have been headed, anyway. ]
Did you find it?
[ There's a... sort of hopefulness to his voice that should be out of place with this whole situation. Amos stands back up, rights himself. After a moment he decides to sit down next to Matt — on his left side, sure to keep at least some distance between his own body and whatever is going on with where Matt's hand used to be, but if Xishen had a part in this, then maybe it's okay.
And he searches his eyes again. He'd told Matt he'd wanted to kill that thing. If he knows where it is...
The sacrifice is weird. That part he'll never understand. But he gets the basic principles behind it — losing something to gain something — and this would be. This would be a good gain.
