Nikolai didn't blame Cam for wincing, the creature was rather disturbing looking. Bugs were one thing, paper was another. One that looked like the two had been haphazardly mashed together? Interesting, but a bit unnerving. Nikolai nearly flinched as well, but it was only through desperation not to startle the creature by jerking the book that he stayed still.
If he were still an Accepted, Nikolai would have sweated as Cam moved in with the jar. The book must have been interesting because the wasp was none the wiser as the Ascended swooped in. With a small thud, Cam had successfully covered the wasp.
"Yes!" Nikolai whisper-yelled, trying to stay relatively quiet in the Atheneum. He grinned at Cam before glancing down at the wasp. It was tapping at the glass in confusion and mild agitation. "What now? How do we get the jar cap on?"
