Prime sighed as the others discussed just what they were, cracking Maya a small smile. "Meet the peanut gallery," he announced with a somewhat weary note in his voice. "I.. well.. it was me in that they're all me--"
"Yep! I'm Jamie!" "Me too!" "Me three!"
"Okay, that's enough, guys," Jamie's tone had a hint of a bite to it as he tried to carry on a serious conversation, voice a bit soft. "But If you mean.. I... No, it wasn't 'me' me... it was a dupe. He was... ah..." His face flushed and eyes lowered, some true embarrassment written across his features. "He was like my libido gone mad, I guess. I'm... pretty embarrassed about some of the things he did." He glanced up again, sincerity in his eyes. "I'm sorry."
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwe," one dupe chimed up suddenly. "Halmark moment!" Prime only sighed.
