What Evil Midnight Lurker said.
I mean, I read the post that spelled out Estevan's crew, and for about two seconds I was thinking, "Okay, that's nice to know," and then I thought, "Jialan?!" Then I sat staring at the monitor in shock for an uncertain period of time.
Have you considered the possibility of Estevan and Lydia having a mutually favorable reaction right from the start? For instance, maybe he was impressed by how effectively she explained the fighter's unfamiliar systems to him, and she was impressed by how quickly he picked it up (plus, he wasn't too macho to learn from her). And the reason a triangle develops is that he's working more closely with Jialan, and doesn't have much time to get to know Lydia as well as he and she would both like.
Just a notion that crossed my mind.DHBirr
