You're so cold
but you feel alive
Her eyes widened, mouth opening at the revelation. Was she suprised, that Jigano knew? Well... yes, and no. Mostly no. Certainly not that he kept it a secret from the rest of the guild. But actually hearing it was something of a doozy, and took some quick adjustments on her part.
"I did not know that. Seems that bard has some stories to tell, if I can get him to sit still for a moment..."
Apparently her offer was rather welcome too, if his sly grin was anything to go by. Sunjata certainly didn't object, and Maea felt a thrill at the thought of what she was getting herself into. There was some time to think on it still, to consider her options and opt out... but the moment they went to see Jigano about it she would be in too deep to pull out again. As much as it unnerved her, she enjoyed the confidence he placed on her. The fact that this devious, devilish man thought her competent enough to not become an obstacle... it was a backwards kind of compliment that made her stretch just a little bit taller (it did not make a noticeable difference). Breathing in the wordless acceptance like it was oxygen.
"Thank you," she said, and there was a lot things incorporated in that gratitude. Far more than their argument before should warrant.
Perhaps his mistake hadn't cost them quite as much as they feared.
