Explanation, for anyone who missed it! https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/256751222/0/0 "We've dealt the Wolves a serious blow. Variks has a little something for you."      Shadow's heart lurches.      "...to celebrate."      She struggles to compose herself. "Ah- yes, okay."      "No rest till we find Skolas!"      Shadow stalls while crossing the outpost. What could Variks possibly have to offer her?      "Guardian! Come here, come here..." Noticing her, Variks urges the hunter closer. "We are friends now, yes?"      Friends? "Yes," she nods, once again surprising herself with the trust she showed the eliksni.      He comes very close to her, his head lowered. Instinctually, Shadow almost reaches for her gun, but Variks brings something out from his pocket. "Brought this up from Queen's vault, for you." He stands straighter now, holding out his hand, offering it to her. "Sooo shiny..."      Shadow can't help but smile at his fascination with the gem and hesitantly reaches forward. A shock races up her spine as her hand brushes against his. It's soft, and warm.      She takes the amethyst, observing its beauty. Its carved edges glow and sparkle in the light of the reef. She runs her thumb over it.      "Enjoy."      Shadow lets out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "Uh- Th-thank you," she stutters after an awkward pause between them, his icy blue gaze locked with hers.      He blinks. "You stopped Skolas from taking House Devils, House Kings." He continues as if nothing happened, shaking his head in that odd fallen manner. "Now wolves have returned to Venus..." His crackling noises make the hunter shudder.      "I'll get on that then." She slips the stone into her pocket.      As she turns to leave, Variks adds, "When you come back... I'd like to see... your ship."     "My... ship?"      "Yes, yes." His eyes are alight with curiosity. ...I'll have to think about that. "Maybe. See you later, Variks." She hurries off to her ship, this time without turning back.
