[ Alright, fine, so this is how they wanna do it. Despite how it might seem on the outside, Amos isn't motivated by a need to protect her specifically; it's less about her and more about his general loathing of guys like this. Amos is no stranger to violence, but these are guys just looking to hurt, like live wires with short fuses ready to just snap. Wanting to snap.
If he were a different kind of guy, maybe he'd waste time responding back. What is it you think she did? — that kind of thing. But the guy has grabbed her now, he's made it clear he doesn't want or care to be talked down.
So his response is nothing verbal at all. He turns on the guy quickly — instincts honed from his years growing up around 'tough guys' like this — and he throws a swift and solid punch to his face, with the intention it'll knock him back enough to let her go, while he keeps his hands free to hit whoever tries to come at him now in retaliation. In his mind, he didn't start it, he's just handling it now. ]
