One day, Jade was venturing on the Mua Pel’am main island to gather some samples for the research, when she felt the some raindrops fall. She wanted to gather just a little more samples before going home and ignored the rain. She was so focused on her research, that she didn’t notice a young man approach her. When she looked up from her sample, she was startled and gasped. Not out of fear, not at all. The man had no threatening or mean look, despite a large scar running across the right part of his face, from his forehead over his eye and cheek. Jade felt her heart beat twice as fast in her chest as she looked at probably the most handsome man she had ever seen.
Man (giving her a friendly smile): “Hello.”
Jade (forgetting every Simlish and Toki Sulani word): “...”
Man (his smile broadening): “I didn’t mean to sneak up onto you. You ok? You were so concentrated on whatever you’re doing there... But I came to warn you, there’s a thunderstorm coming.”
Jade (blinking, slowly coming back down to Sim Earth): “T..Thunderstorm?”
Man (gazing at the sky and slowly breathing in the warm, humid air): “Yup, and it’ll be a short, but intense one. I don’t think you’ll get to your shack in time, but you can have shelter at my place.”
Jade (puzzled): “How do you know...? Your place? But there are no other shacks on the island, except for the research centre.”
Man (smiling): “Not everything is what it seems to be at the first look. My name is Kanaloa and you’re actually standing right next to my home.”
Jade (looking around): “There’s just the old ship wreck!”
Kanaloa (gesturing at the door Jade only noticed now): “Welcome to my humble home.”
Right after Kanaloa’s words, lightning pierced the sky followed by loud thunder. Jade had to make a decision: run home as fast as she could or trust the sexy friendly stranger and follow him into his well hidden home... Another lightning-thunder combo decided for her, as she instinctively ran towards Kanaloa’s door. Kanaloa let her in and she followed him down a staircase into a surprisingly nice looking underground living area. Kanaloa offered her a drink she respectfully refused. They sat down at his table and chatted while the thunderstorm above ground was raging. Jade felt at ease talking to Kanaloa, even when she made some mistakes talking in Toki Sulani. Kanaloa was smiling continuously during their conversation and when Jade left, her aching cheeks told her she had been smiling too. Still, she couldn’t stop smiling until long after she had arrived at her shack...

I downloaded Kanaloa Ka’aukai from the Gallery, he was created by ShinyEmma1983. I just changed a few things to make him fit in my game better.
