Angela is far too old to get the fluttery feeling in her chest that comes from talking to a beautiful woman. But she is recently single (for a relative version of "recent") after a long, committed relationship, so she is tentatively opening herself to the possibility of new romance. She does not know if her newfound friendship with Amaya might develop in that direction, but... She must admit, the offer to give her lodgings on this, the hottest night of the Earthen summer, had given her reason to hope so.

When Amaya opens the door, Angela offers the smile she reserves for women she finds competent enough to deserve her respect. Gamora, Monica Rambeau, Jessica Drew, Katherine Pryde, all fall into this category. And now, General Amaya. She raises a hand to sign her greeting.

Hello. Thank you again for inviting me over.
