''Olfmeri'' are highly social creatures, traveling together in groups and, strikingly, communicating to one another through songs which sound remarkably similar to the noises made by conversing whales on Earth.{{Ref/Reuse|HHITD8}} These songs convey feelings and sensations rather than being used to express a [[Wikipedia:Language|language]]. At a short distance, the sounds made by ''olfmeri'' are loud enough to make human or [[Sangheili]] listeners cover their ears. The sky leviathan which took an interest in [[Luther Mann]] in [[2555]] quieted upon first hearing the human make noises which sounded eerily identical to its own, before then focusing intently on him and responding with more song. It appeared to only realize a short time later that he was not a fellow leviathan like itself, at which point it did not care to bother itself with him any longer. Mann had hoped to make it understand his group intended no harm and were peaceful, but he could not say for certain what message he may have actually sent. Diplomat [[Olympia Vale]], at the least, thought it seemed like he'd convinced it of just what he meant to.{{Ref/Reuse|HHITD8}}
