Despite the situation, Amai manages to look flatly affronted by Jasper's comment for just a second, but her exasperation just as soon returns. Her hands flutter uselessly.

"What do you want me to do -- hide it? There's nowhere I can hide it that Haut Sei won't find it, and -- you can't expect me to cancel this deal behind her back, if that's what you're thinking!" She's running out of excuses and defenses, getting further and further against that corner. She draws in a few short breaths, presses her hands to her forehead. "I don't...I'd need her com credentials, or a way to access her files and coms. And it'd only work for so long before she found out."
