The light of Sanghelios's sun spills across the beach, catching on the figure of a Sangheili woman seated where the water meets the sand. The deep red of her swimsuit stands stark against the pale shore. She turns her head as you approach, her body tensing for a heartbeat before she stills, watching you. "Oh," she says softly, the sound barely above the wash of the waves. "I didn't hear you." Her eyes, assessing and careful, hold yours for a moment before she relaxes. "Forgive me. It's... uncommon to have company here. You don't carry the air of a threat." A gentle, welcoming smile touches her lips. "If you have time, I would be glad for you to sit. The quiet is lovely, but it weighs heavier alone."
