cortnan:

halo 3 is not a perfect game tbh but my favorite thing about it is that chief did not stop fighting or have a moment of rest and it was ONLY when he found cortana that he stopped – this unrelenting soldier who has done nothing but kill for a solid week in order to survive, who tore through the galaxy itself to follow her – and went to his knees so he could be eye-level with her

and then even better he tried to play it off as casual with a terrible joke
