MAEA
Ah, yes. She'd expected a reaction. Quite a stronger one than this, too, so Maea counted herself lucky... perhaps her run in with the Cloud Manta made a possible, not yet realized danger less jarring for him to hear about. And perhaps it helped that she was very aware of how stupid this particular part was. Still, Sunjata was clearly worried, and the only way she could change that was to offer as many details as possible.
"His name is Saiden," she began, keeping her voice as even and steady as possible. No doubt he wouldn't like some of what she was about to tell him, but... well. Truth was something he'd always offered her. And she hadn't done anything to be ashamed of. "I met him at Hale Ka'aila a day or so after you and I had that last... talk." When she'd said she wanted to be with him, and Sunjata rejected her. "I wasn't in a very good mood, but he tried to cheer me up. He... came on to me quite a lot, but.. I turned him down."
Some color rose to her cheeks at the memory; it was before Sunjata had found her by the lighthouse, when all she knew was a few kisses and the sting of feeling not enough. Being so brazenly approached had been quite... different. Perhaps a wee bit flattering.
"But he took it well enough, and when I ran into him later, we started talking again. I figured he could be just another friend... So we exchanged some information, and got to talking about the crystal, and I asked him to help me get hold of one."
Maea related the exchange of words as best she could - which was quite well indeed, almost word by word, thanks to her well-trained memory - and then settled back, to see her lover's reaction.
"He called himself a cook and a fisherman. Is attached to the crew of a ship called The Ark... the captain's name is Jack. Overall he seems nice, helpful... but that might just be a ruse, and if so I fell for it quite splendidly."
Saiden had brougth her to a healer, had helped her find the bow when she'd thought it lost, but... he'd also said he wouldn't forgive the offense she'd inadventently given. A frustrating situation, all in all.
