Helena raised an eyebrow, but here glare remained narrow, flicking between the lockpick and Stella opposite her. Stella caught her look and offered a silent shrug, to which Helena huffed and tilted her head to once again look the tall thief up and in reconsideration.
Meanwhile, several thumping footsteps announced the boss's attention to the shadowed huddle.
"Sonny, you rat-tailed traitor. That there vault ain't got nothin' we haven't lifted before. You bail on me now, I'll make sure you'll get your throat slit in your sleep. Why, I'll-"
But Helena raised a small hand with a soft light in her palm, which in a blink, snapped into the shape Sonny had been spinning in his own fingers. The pins of light also spun about her fingers.
Stella placed a mollifying hand on the boss, levelling a sympathetic smirk at the thief that the man's threats probably still stood.
"You sure, Sonny?" Stella chimed in, beside the tense ape of a man clenching and unclenching his fist.

We don't need him,she began, tilting her head to the side. She decided the thief was blessed by the Maker in some peculiar way she could figure out another day.
But nothing risked, nothing gained. You're out out, Sonny.
