She flushed at his gentle teasing and dug her fingers into the sand, down to where the soft grains turned dark and damp with cool moisture. But Maea's smile faltered and fell away as Harper told her about Phoebe, shock and pain replacing it entirely as she empathised with the young woman. For a time, she just sat quietly, processing... then she sighed, and dragged her knees up to lean the chin against.
"For what it's worth, he's hurting too," she said softly. "He might look fine and carry on like none of it bothers him, but... it does. I think this marriage would have ruined both of them if it continued... so, however awful the way it ended was... I still think it's for the better that it did."
Biting her lip, Maea glanced at the young man beside her. She recalled seeing him at the wedding, comforting Phoebe without hesitation. Maea hadn't known anything about the situation at that time, and would likely have taken Phoebe's side in a heartbeat, but now...
"If she is as wounded as you say, then... perhaps it's for the better that I keep away. I've heard too much of Sunjata's side of the story... I'm not sure I could be impartial, or offer the support she needs, and deserves."
