Aria took a step back and looked around her - things were coming along nicely. Given that there didn't seem to be any movement towards either taking the station or departing on the shuttles she figured she might as well set herself up in the best room they had, which is why the past few days had involved gutting and emptying the burnt and abandoned suite on the fifth floor. It was hard going with her powers limited as they were, and she was taking a break to rehydrate and assess her progress when she heard a noise behind her. Months of living in the dangerous climes of the upper parts of the station had conditioned her to caution and she whirled, her biotics flaring briefly until she took in who it was.

"Ah, Boyd," she said, dropping her hands back to her sides and nodding briefly at him. "What a nice surprise."

Boyd raised his hands halfway, spelling "I come in peace" in a faintly ironic manner. He slid them back into his jacket pockets when Aria's blue lights went away.

He doubted he was much of a surprise, let alone a nice one, but he was still in possession of some manners, so he smiled in response, inclining his head a little.

"I didn't figure much could surprise you, Aria," he said, leaning in the doorway as he surveyed her work in progress. It was quite the project she'd undertaken, although in his mind, it was a futile one. "I see you're buildin' yourself a little castle in the sky."
