[ Excitement bubbles up in her throat as Alec puts her into position, and a few things happen in the moments between Palamedes' disappointed sigh and unenthusiastic response.
First: Aisha flutters resistance into her left hand, sparking a path of effort that would form a rude gesture if she had any control. The attempt to move says, Let me drive, asshole. (They haven't discussed this here. Knowing how to make him let go feels as natural as breathing anyway.)
Second: Palamedes breathes in to speak. Imp clacks down the receiver on Pal's walkie so that Pal's response comes over Regent's speaker in the hallway.
Third: Imp opens the bedroom door.
Fourth: When he becomes distracted by the movement of the door, which appears to swing open all by itself, Imp takes the opportunity to pluck the pen from Pal's hand and scrawl a message, heavy-handed and haphazardly and completely mindless of whatever he'd been reading, over the open page of his notebook:
I BLINKED
Finishing Move: Imp perches behind Palamedes on the frame of his bed like an overgrown bird, one hand on a canopy beam for balance. Completely still and appropriately posed for whenever he feels her eyes on the back of his neck and turns around, she becomes perceptible. ]
