At Jiao's surprised look, Saiden just shrugged. Glancing at the other people on the beach with them, then back to the Fae, he smiled a bit sheepishly. "I mean, kinda? Like, skin tones vary, and hair and eye color, but the rest of it is pretty much the same." It was clear that he was confused. "I mean, no one's quite like me, that's for sure." The words came out proudly, but not smugly.
Thankfully, the presence of the Ark disrupted any further awkwardness, at least in his mind. When Jack called back, the cook shot a grin at Jiao. He started leading them towards where the other man was pouring over a map. "Captain's here. Gotta pay respects." However, she was already calling back to Jack, causing the Hali to shrug again.
As they approached, he spoke in a more normal volume. "She's not food." Pausing for a moment, he smirked. "Or sex. She's something called a Fae."
