Noah nodded. "Beneath the Sea of Glass. You know as well as I do that all of Halo knows something is under there, and if its anything like what has guarded the other relics, it will be a fight to retrieve it." Noah's voice was soft as he spoke, but across the attuned bond there was some fragments of worry.
"I want to be as honest with you as I can." Which meant he wanted always to share with her what was on his heart and his mind, what was happening in his life. "I decided to join the Order." He paused for a moment to let that sink in, before continuing. "I don't want this to be advertised to the world, but I have been assured that I have ever power the Order offers at my disposal when it comes to matters of Vi's will." He leaned forward to press a kiss into her forehead, her skin warm against his lips from the touch of the sun. "I think you'll be most safe with Deimos. I know I said before you should go back to Halo...but after talking with Sah I don't think that is right. He said there was a mass exodus after Morgan's attack. There's not many people there left. And since the longnight monster showed up..." Noah trailed off some, pressing another kiss to her forehead. "Deimos is the strongest of us all and he can protect you the best." Above all else, he wanted her to be safe.
