MAEA
Sunjata's hand on her shoulder made her flinch. She was so tense, it felt as though she might break into pieces if anything bumped into her too quickly. Brittle, fragmenting... but the men were calm, and kind, and she forced down a deep breath to steady the racing pulse that thundered through her veins. No doubt the Flood could actually hear it, with that preternatural hearing of his.
"I appreciate that, very much" she said faintly, and moved around the offered chair to sit down. It wasn't that she meant to ignore Sunjata, or that his warm smiles and kind attempts to lighten the mood didn't help. Maea was just too focused on what she perceived to be the biggest threat in this room, and right now? It was the biggest unknown. Nate.
"Let's start with the talking, then. Ask anything you like, I'll answer as best I can." If she could postpone... the rest for even a bit longer, she welcomed it. Reaching up a hand over her shoulder, she searched for Sunjata's hand, hoping he would remain there. To be the steady support behind her to lean back on.
She'd been asking that a lot of him lately, come to think of it. Especially now, when the air was filled with poorly veiled implications flying back and forth, and she was the only one not entirely in on the joke.
