"Shhhhhh" Armando puts his large finger in his pink closed lips while Lisse tries to open a small metallic door so they can enter to the minimalist shop. The door makes a louder sound and he looks bad at Lisse "Six years and they haven't caught you yet, I'll never know how" his gaze to the starry sky in disbelieve while he says this.
"Shut up" She states crossing her arms, annoyed.
She has been more careful than she is being right know, maybe it has to do with the proximity between them or the hatred the young thief believes to feel towards Armando. Or perhaps has to do with when she got caught for his stupidity and his statement is rather wrong.
"That's it" Lisse states with a smirk forming in her pale face "I still have the touch" the young lady places the credit card she used to open the lock. Obviously, the credit card isn't hers nor Armando's, they aren't stupid enough to do such a thing.
"Pft. Arrogant" replies her now partner-in-crime while entering (or jumping) trough the ceiling door. "We don't have all the time of the world, Are you coming?"
Lisse looks down to the store where Armando stands still. She holds a face-palm, is he really that idiot? "You stupid ass, don't you think a Jewellery store will have more security?" It's clearer than glass that it is his first time stealing a store, even more a Jewellery.
"It's Christmas, relax." He pauses and then adds "All the security people are probably enjoying a family dinner" his tone dripping with sarcasm and cockiness.
"For real, Armando?" The woman's green eyes search for a hint of joke in his grey ones "Do you think Security Cameras also miss their none-existing family?"
"Huh?" Armando holds a dumb-fouled in his astonishing torment-like eyes before realisation hitting him hard. "Shit"
