Maya was thoroughly enjoying watching Emily grow more and more visibly pissed off as she continued talking. So, of course, she wasn’t going to stop. Especially when Blake Schmidt himself was speaking directly to her. That would just be rude! And Maya couldn’t have that. She noted the glare from his wife, who her gaze had mostly been fixed on (totally not because of how attractive she was), and forced herself to not smirk. Keeping a mostly neutral, I’m adorable but don’t trust you, smile. She may be enjoying winding Emily up, but she had to not entirely fuck things up for everyone. 

Her phone buzzed in her pocket as Blake began to answer her questions, and she ignored it for just now. It would be rude to divert her attention. 

[quote=Blake]"Maya, Maya, a cute name." [/quote]

Her face momentarily screwed up with disgust before she forced herself back to a polite (and more fake) smile. Yes, she was cute, but no she didn’t want to hear that from [i]him.[/i] It just sounded sleazy. He went on to ask what he could do to make her trust him and if she was going to give an honest answer it would be nothing. She was [i]never[/i] going to actually trust him. The thought of that made her want to shudder. She just about trusted that Coven, and they were full of (not rich) women. 

No she’d asked her questions for two reasons: firstly, to wind up Emily. Secondly, to try and get him to slip up something useful. She didn’t plan to make the deal… She’d been forced into enough business meetings by her family to know she couldn’t. But she could at least help (though her main reason was to spite Emily, of course, the helpfulness was secondary). 

All of what he said sounded nice, and probably fake, and Maya went to say something in response. Then Kayla started talking and she closed her mouth. She inclined her head slightly towards their leader to indicate that she was done with talking and would let her take over. As much as she wouldn’t do it when Emily told her to, Maya actually liked and trusted Kayla and was glad to let her take over. So instead she finally pulled out her phone.

[quote=From Kayla]"Phillis Schmidt looks angry. Find out if the rumors are true. Do what you do best- make friends." [/quote]

Now that she could do. For once Maya actually decided to do what she was told - partly because it was from Kayla, and partly because she wanted to do it anyway. She slid closer to Phillis with a warm, somewhat sympathetic, smile. 

“So, you’re interested in the supernatural too?” she lowered her voice: so that it wouldn’t distract the others from their discussions, but was audible to the woman herself. She started with a ‘neutral’ topic rather than going right into it like she had with Blake… because while he was cheating, rich scumbag his wife probably wasn’t (and she was hot). “What made you interested in them? Was it [i]him[/i]? Are you looking to get some yourself?”

Maya paused for a moment as she realised she’d just bombarded her with questions. “That’s something I could definitely understand. It’s tough for women out there, but having magical abilities certainly help… and it’s how this little group formed.” She subtly indicated to the coven as she smiled, words soft but sweet. “I’d never had proper companionship before I’d joined. The world of the Extra-normal really brings people together.”

Step 1: ask questions about the common topic and pretend to speak about herself genuinely. Step 2: Find out information from her, cause chaos and maybe get something more…

It was hard to keep her smile friendly and warm because this was just too much [i]fun[/i].
