Snippet #1124719

Margaret "Maisie" let out a short shriek before dropping the glass completely. It clattered to the table louder than she thought glass could do on wood. She fell back to the wall behind her. She grabbed at her charms and started pulling them out frantically. She hardly noticed as Infinitous was yelling; she stuck pins into wax and pulled frayed threads from cloth. Tapping the floor repetatively, she seemed frightened of some unseen interloper. After a few minutes, she calmed and slowed her rituals to a putter. She still seemed afraid, but her charms were protecting her, at least in her own mind.
