The only reason Jaime didn't jump ten feet in the air when she spoke up was because the scarab actually let him know she was coming.
So instead of jumping, Maia had to settle for a pained grimace that only Blair could see and a muttered, "Dammit."
Any chance of walking away was shot to hell now, though. Not if he wanted to minimize the damage. "Not what I meant, Maia," he said instead, without turning. Scarab was uneasy, but it wasn't flipping out yet.
((Heading out. If you two are on and I'm not back, feel free to have Maia and Blair have a bitchfest, Jaime probably won't cut in unless it goes beyond words.))
