Outside of MHA #3; Friday Afternoon [06/26].
"I will give them this much," said Amaya, pushing herself up from where she'd been giving the locks on Rosa's door a good luck, "that's some incredibly clean work there. That's the work of someone who plans to get right back to them and make sure no one's any wiser about it. An easy enough fix, but I'm going to guess you want something a little complex for next time."
Rosa, leaning on the wall of the hallway, just looked at her.
"Not that there will be a next time, of course," Amaya amended with an assuring lift of her hand, "especially not with what I can do with these. Just actually worked on a bookshelf with some good hidden traps in it, I can apply some of the same concepts here."
"A bookcase?"
And Amaya grinned. "A word to the wise," she said. "Definitely ask before borrowing any books from your new neighbor down the hall. But this won't take long. If I get started now, I'll probably have most of it done in time for that party tomorrow."
Rosa nodded, took a sip from her mug of coffee. "Just do what you need to do."
"Aye-aye, Detective," said Amaya with a little salute before crouching back down for her tools. And offering up an almost apologetic smile. "Quite a welcome back, huh?"
Rosa just snorted, marveling slightly that she was even bothering getting new locks in the first place.
[[ work is deeeaaad. Post is open! ]]

"Good afternoon," she greeted. "I'm not the only one in this building who needs your work I see."

She gave Lucille a nod. "Good to see you, Lucille. You had a chance to meet Rosa here ye--"
"We've met," said Rosa, cutting off the pleasantly a little tl get it out of the way, giving Lucille a cool look but mostly
sulking intodrinking her coffee."Ah," said Amaya, because she felt that single statement said a lot, "well, that's good."

She nodded towards the door.

"Oh, don't worry. The dead don't bother me."

Nope. Couldn't find it.
"Well that's reassuring."

And she was trying not to think of what the motivations underlying that weak ass excuse might be.

She meant it.
"Let me know if you need any help."

"I'll keep that in mind," she said, so dry that not even the sip of coffee she took after could quench it.

And, yes, she realized the irony of the statement being said while she was actively helping Rosa, which is why Amaya also smirked a little as Rosa's hard, unimpressed look shifted her way.

She was sure that Rosa would never take her up on that, so it felt safe to invite her.

But it wasn't anything persomal, Hot Goth Neighbor.
Not towards you, anyway.
