Of course, she had expected some curiosity. But perhaps she'd let her self hope that he wouldn't inquire too deeply into it, when he didn't right away. Maea relished the kiss instead, savoring it while it lasted... but then he pulled away again with a question on his lips, and she sighed, closing her eyes. Dragged a hand through her hair, and found it mostly dry now.
"Mmh, yes. I was open on what I wanted from the start - to get the crystal - but he wouldn't say what kind of favor he might want in return. I was very clear I wouldn't agree to just anything, and he seemed to accept it... 'Nothing shady and nothing fun' as he called it." The way she put emphasis on the 'fun', made it rather plain what she was referring to, and she looked up, gaze fixing on Sunjata to make sure he understood it too. And that it wasn't something she intended to negotiate on.
"Then he insisted we made a proper deal out of it," she continued, and held up her hand. A red line was cut across her palm, the healed over scar of a knife purposefully applied to draw blood. "So... I guess it's a blood pact now?" Though she sounded not at all happy about it, nor half as casual as she pretended to be.
