[...Ah. Mia was kind of expecting this; it only shows in how quickly her shocked face goes to a sheepish one. She looks at Will and when he speaks, she grimaces a little, letting out half a laugh with her exasperation and amusement at their getting caught. Of course they would!
She looks to Maya, then, shrugs her shoulders, and grins sheepishly, wiggling her fingers in a wave.]
Hey, sis.
[The jig is up. She's already conceded defeat. She shrugs her shoulders and kind of gestures with them in the direction of Maya's bed, giving their gifts an obvious glance.]
[ she gives them both a bit of a mischievous grin, letting them squirm. it's a mystery as to how much she heard, but she's going to milk this moment for all it's worth, especially with them both looking guilty to various degrees. ]
Looks like I caught you both redhanded sneaking around my room! [ she says, even though mia has the same room. ]
Sooo, what are you guys up to in here?
[ her eyes flicker to the presents knowingly, giving them a big innocent grin. ]
[ She is a menace and she needs to stop being so menace-y, except don't because she's wonderful.
Unlike Mia, after that brief moment of weakness, all Maya is gifted is the same holier-than-thou deadpan expression that she knows, even without the Contract, is hiding a constantly-escalating narration of panic. ]
Breaking and entering, contraband smuggling, and obstruction of justice.
[ He's able to keep a straight face for most of it (most. Mia's comment about crime gets a short laugh before snapping back to Super Serious Most Criminal Wow). The bribe is legitimately considered. ] Corruption in the police, huh...
[ May as well play for the long game. An arm is wrapped around Mia's shoulder and she's turned away for them both to discuss like proper shady criminals in whisper-talk. Except there's no whispering at all here. ]
[Criminal #2 steps aside as well, gesturing with her arms to the gifts; the scarf a wrapper to the contents of Will's gift inside of it, both gleaming prettily on Maya's bed.
Mia's actually rather excited, despite it all. It's an important gift, and the fact Will gets to witness it too is actually a bit of a bonus.]
[ maya isn't going to know what hit her. for now, she's very cheerfully tearing at the paper -- not even delicately or anything, to see what's inside them. ]
Take that!
[ is she yelling at her mysterious presents? nick must be rubbing off on her. ]
[Part one of that gift is the scarf Will's is wrapped in; it's a champagne colored scarf with its ends noticeably altered. They're covered in gold blotches, fingerprints. it's simple, but pretty, and comes with a rolled-up paper; if Maya investigates, it reads "From those on which Maya Fey has made a mark", the rest of the list being the signatures of Sayori, Ogata, Mista, Alex, Will, Lion, Mia herself, Michael, Eleanor, Lion, Will, Phoenix, Jesse, Jack, Kaede, Mista, Alex, Spike, Shinji, Piper, and other reclaimers.]
Mr. Wolfwood worked on that one, too, I just couldn't get him to sign it.
[She'll say, when Maya's gotten to the list, but still gestures for Maya to keep going.]

What can I say? We've defaulted to a life of crime.
[There's a part of her, a very tired part, that almost protests that... this is her room, too, but it's more fun to pretend she's crimes.]
Really have to work on our sneaking game.

Sounds like I should put you two under arrest!
[ maya saunters in deliberately to eyeball them and the presents, hands on her hips. ]
... But I'll settle for a bribe, maybe.

What do you think? Let 'er at the goods?

[Mia concedes in also-not-a-whisper, one hand on her hip as she shakes her head in faux defeat.]
She's got us cornered. She takes the bribe and we walk away free.
no subject
Sounds like a plan to me!
[ god what a little shit. ]
Alright, let's do it! Present the presents!
[ she's going to terrorize them both later. ]

Unfortunately, for now all she can take is bribes. Criminal #1 steps out of the way of the hoard. ] Yours to search, officer.
