[The name “Red” gets Athena’s attention; Boxer had mentioned her earlier as the person who had ordered him to storm the Atlas facility where Athena was being held, but besides that, Athena knows little to nothing about her. All she knows is that it usually takes a lot of money or a lot of influence to be able to boss a Vault Hunter around. And judging from her current surroundings, Athena would guess that it's both.
As it turns out, Athena doesn’t have to wonder in vain for long. After they’re ushered into an impossibly large foyer, a gentle voice draws her gaze to the top of the stairs.
There’s no doubt that the woman in white is the mysterious Red. And it’s very easy to see how she received that name. But even moreso than her fiery red hair, it’s those unmistakeable blue tattoos that really catch Athena’s attention. She’s a siren. Boxer’s boss is a siren and he hadn’t even told her. She glances towards him in an almost accusing fashion, but it’s clear his attention is elsewhere at the moment.
And then he’s running towards the woman (running towards A SIREN like it’s a sane thing to do) and scooping her up and Athena is quickly rethinking her assessment of Red as his boss, or at least, as just his boss. She’s also scrunching up her nose a little bit because ew. Kissing.
Fortunately it doesn’t last very long. Unfortunately that means that the Siren’s attention is now on her. Athena stands stock-still as the woman kneels down in front of her, visibly tensing when she reaches towards her with a tattooed hand... and then relaxing slightly when said hand only strokes harmlessly through her hair rather than vaporizing her on the spot.
Of course, not being vaporized means she actually has to think of something to say.]

Hi. [Well… it’s a start.]
