Noah didn't say much in response to Sah's feelings on Cordelia's actions. To defend her, to argue with the man about her virtues was not what needed to happen right now. In time, Halo would see her again for who she really was. In the time it took for that to happen, Noah would carry her shame upon his own shoulders, and keep her heart in the balance of peace.
She had kept her promise to him.
Noah spent the time, instead, giving details of the War to Sah so he had a deeper perspective. He talked about the Court of the Fallen, and the battle that they needed to wage, of the scars and damage inflicted, how he had pulled his comrades from the Core's illusions, and how Remi pulled the Core from Caido and saved them all -- and, in the blink of an eye, how it was all over and they were home. Hours passed, and finally Noah said good-bye to his friend and headed back to Cordelia.
