His thoughts have already been going down similar routes. If they get to their things, they'll not only have the lockpicks, but weapons, and properly armed they might be able to hold their own against the guards. And now that they know that there's magic that can be thrown at them, they'll not be taken by surprise again - well, in theory, anyway. But it's better knowing than not knowing, because if nothing else they stand a better chance of finding a means to counter it.
Getting out of here first is half the battle, though, and Jamie stretches a hand experimentally towards his leg. It'll be a near thing, but if he can angle himself in the right way, his fingers are long enough he might be able to pop the pin free and pull it out to get to her. The question is if he'll be able to manage that without the guards noticing, and he pulls at his lower lip with his teeth before murmuring to her again.
"Look, I think I might be able to get the pin free, but I'm going to have to twist to do it and they might notice. Do you think you'll be able to cover that, and then I can cover you once I get the pin over to you?"
