"Helen," Jamie starts to say, but he can see it will do no good - she's in the sort of mood where she won't answer to anything he says.
Briefly he ponders going off and hunting for a mouse, before remembering that they're in Adam's house and he's unlikely to let them wander off like that, and also that his arm is currently not in any sort of shape for mouse-catching.
Next-best thing: change the subject. So when Adam, who looks really uncomfortable right about now (and Jamie doesn't blame him) asks about Homeward Bounders and rules and so on, Jamie gladly launches into an explanation.
It's a bit rambling, and not nearly as clear as some of the more practiced half-truths he's reeled off in bar, but hopefully it will get all their minds off the awkwardness.
