I apologise for being unaware of the fine details Valiynna." Catina said. “But we were sent here to seek an alliance with Borli Keep.”

“There are… Many heads…” Alphon said as he died
The mech finally had a chain reaction, and erupted in an explosion.
Behind Atan, Alphon appeared, and once again ran at him. By now, it was only those two on the beach, their forces had moved elsewhere.
“Arr’Khan, these are the men that you call brothers?” Sha’ten asked. The augmented Sangheili nodded at the oncoming tide of red armored Sangheili. Arr’Khan was bare chested, and now wielded twin axes. One was of the fallen Grongar, and the other his own.

Atan readied his blade and ducked, throwing it into his stomach as he charged at him. “Where do you hide coward? Your idea of tricks are foolish.” Atan said throwing the body off.
The scarabs began to inspect the city, as remaining warriors began to pick off stragglers.

Alphon screamed as the blade impaled him, as Alphon attacked from a different angle. Alphon was also dead on the sand beneath the two.
“If you should seek an alliance, Borli is embroiled in conflict. We are going to save this defiant world.” Valiynna declared.
Lucius decided to stop by on one of the islands on the barrier of the pure Sangheili and the Black Moons. He wasn’t so much landing as he was shot down. He stepped off, his mighty Eidolon at the ready. It took time to attach the large backpack that his weapon required. Some of Grongar’s forces had fallen back here. He grinned as three approached with their weapons ignited. He leveled his weapon with the first, and fired. The relentless noise barrage melted the brain of the first Sangheili, causing him to fall. The other two fell to the ground, bleeding from their eyes. Lucius took off his helmet to admire his work.
“I have seen your desires, you have talent for perfection.” Sha’ten said.
“Thank you.” Lucius said.

“Save it from who?” Catina asked. “There are still the black moons are there not? And we have a score to settle with those on the ships that are attacking Gahlogali. So yes, I see we could help save this world…which is nothing new to you and I with the Hesduros covenant, if you recall.”
“Soo, Help save this planet from one or both of those factions, and in return I would only wish for some vacation time somewhere on this Gahlogali…including a wedding. That is the offer I will personally make.”

“We’ll have the wedding now.” Valiynna said.
“I can grant you that perfection.” Sha’ten said.
“No. I must do this myself.” Lucius said.

“What wedding?” Leo asked a bit confused.

Catina glanced at Aries for a second or two, then turned her attention back to Valiynna. “A generous offer. But how much time to prepare would we be allowed?”
“Aries and myself.” Catina replied to Leo. “And remember when I suggested that we take the Prowler over a Pelican? Mainly because of the Prowler’s armor changing station. I don’t think either of us want to get married while forced to wear our armor.”

“You hear that Valiynna?” Catina asked her after Beth’s and Blake’s comments. “Maybe we could focus on the mission everyone was sent here first, then later Aries, you, and I could discuss this in private. And save two members of this team from acting so poorly, especially in this room meant to keep your children safe.”
“And to clarify Leo.” Catina told him in a nice tone. “The Wedding is what Aries and myself had been planning, and kept to ourselves until now.”

I think I let out enough rope for him to hang himself with. Catina thought as she simply waited for Valiynna’s response.
