He has, for the record, never been punched for this behavior. Not that someone along the line hasn't tried, but Jesus is fast and he pays attention even when he seems relaxed.
Rosita shrugs; she would have done it anyway. She's not as forgiving as Jesus. Blood was owed after the way she saw Carver react even after the fact, heard the sound of his voice as he tried to explain and couldn't.
"Turns out we speak the same language after all." Pain was owed to even begin to feel like this could be healed from in a way that didn't end with one or more deaths.
"You're on good terms with her now? She's not going to come after you? Or him, for it?" Because that's the downside to all this: now Amelia knows how far Rosita will go for Carver.
"That's part of why I'm so pissed about it, you know?"
This is more familiar ground. This feels more like Jesus is back on side with her rather than poking at her decisions.
"She's from a different world than us but she thinks the same way. We're square now. We can move on from it if she keeps to her side of the line and I keep to mine. I liked her when we talked before."
"Is she invited to the get together when we have it?" She's one of Carver's, but Jesus hasn't thought much about the guest list beyond the obvious suspects.
Rosita's answer is immediate, because she's not one of Carver's, and things are going to be hard enough with just the core people. She expects things to be hard enough.
That's an easy enough thing to agree with. Carver likely doesn't want to be in the same space as Amelia more than he has to for the Crucible. "Okay. So it's you and me, Carver and Grayson. Vrenille and Vanessa too?"
"That's what I was figuring. I think that's enough for moving forward with." She tips her head at him, raising an eyebrow: "You don't want K or Drake there?"
"Because you like him the most so I assumed you'd trust him most in the room." Had been his reasoning. "I like them all, I'm happy to have any or all of them here."

She would. But things between her and Jesus are different: if Jesus got into a fight with someone, she'd want to know so she could back him up.
"And it wasn't a fight. I made myself clear, I hit her one time, and we're on the same page now. She says."

He gives her a quizzical look. "You hit her?"

He doubts Amelia will do anything, but you never know, and he doesn't know her.
