A Personal Question

“Mik.”
“Yeah, Kai?”
“I have… a personal question to ask you.”
“Sure, go ahead.”
“You are an able-bodied Sangheili warrior, but still unmarried. Why?”
There was a long pause.
“Just never found the right woman.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
A shorter pause ensued.
“Is it really?”
“Yeah, why?”
“I feel that there is more to it than that.”
He shrugged and shrunk in stature, refusing to look at me.
“Mik?”
He was silent for many long moments as we continued our patrol with our lance somewhat far behind us.
“What woman would want me?”
“Many would.”
“Heh… Thanks for lying.”
