Summary
The Arbiter's initial studies of human culture didn't happen after the Great Schism; he's figured out things about their species through long observation and plenty of patience. He'll acknowledge their new alliance gives him plenty of resources to fall back on when he doesn't understand something. Frankly, he doesn't get a LOT of the customs these people have.
But it's good to increase his knowledge: as a curious Sangheili, he has many burning questions, ones he's harbored for years that ought to be answered at long last. There's only one problem he's got no hope of fixing.
See, he REALLY wishes he could figure out if this 'bond' with his enemy-turned-ally is purely platonic, or he's instigated a serious courtship between them. Chief is being rude in not clearing up the matter but then again, the Arbiter is kind of shitty at clarifying what his questions are.
Misunderstanding is in plenty but were it so easy to understand one another's intentions, then they'd never learn how to become each other's equal.

Summary
It was a distress signal. Something went wrong on a mission and the Arbiter's paying the price, his crew suffering alongside him as his painful symptoms worsen. Master Chief John-117 is pretty fucking concerned, all things considered: it's been a journey learning to like, then love, the gentle heart behind rigid alien training and iconic silver armor. So of course he'd hurry to his lover's side to do whatever he can to help him out of this predicament.
He just wishes the solution to this predicament didn't have to be so perverted. Ah, it's a downside to having a boyfriend with alien biology, isn't it? And he's about to learn firsthand the difference between having sex with Thel and having sex with Thel during a rut.
(No one on the Shadow of Intent is paid enough to deal with these shenanigans.)
