	Beatriz’s face softened, her eyes widening as Rosie stepped in on her behalf. Bea was also struck by Rosie’s beauty and…size. Meu Deus, she was nearly two feet taller than Beatriz. She’d never seen someone so tall in person. Much like the guard, Beatriz was immediately pacified, her angry fist unclenching.
	The pointed words made her avert her eyes and sheepishly rub the back of her head. The tall lady was right. Beatriz wasn’t sure if she would have actually hit the security, or had just done some show of strength, or if it would have even mattered. Fortunately it looked like cooler heads would prevail, this time. Papi always did say she was a hothead… according to him, the Barro fighting temper skips a generation every time. First it was grandfather, and now it was her.

	Beatriz watched as the security guard was warded away, and the tall lady finally turned her attention directly onto Beatriz. 

	[color=c4df9b]”I guess it was a close call. Th-thanks for savin’ my ass.”[/color] She said. [color=c4df9b]”I really did have- holy shit, my backpack. You fixed that, too? How?”[/color] She held the zipper between her fingers in amazement.

 [color=c4df9b]”Seriously, thank you!”[/color] She began to dig through her backpack. It took a few moments but she finally found her lanyard with ID at the very bottom, where it had wiggled its way past everything the teenager had stuffed in there.

	[color=c4df9b]”Found it!”[/color] She said, with a nervous giggle. She put it around her neck. 

	Bea cleared her throat. [color=c4df9b]”I’m Beatriz Barro. It’s nice to meet you.”[/color] She extended her hand out for a handshake. [color=c4df9b]”This is, uh, my first time fighting at the carnival, but I’m a long time fan. I’m assuming this is your first time because I definitely would have remembered you.”[/color] Did that come out wrong?

	[color=c4df9b]”I just mean…there’s a lot of unusual people this time around. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!”[/color]
