Both were the last surviving members of their teams, yet Saladin has handled the loss in a much more healthy way.
Seems like a missed opportunity that we have had both of them in the tower for almost 2 years yet they basically never mention each other. Would have made for some great dialog.

Saladin afterwards was able to move about Earth and have interactions with people and still basked in Light. Eris was sealed away in a Hive fortress amongst the literal monsters that killed her friends, having to use the Darkness just to survive, which brings her extreme suffering, and in that time learned all about the Hive, inside and out. Additionally, as has been pointed out, they come from different times and different circumstances, as well as different personalities. It would be difficult for them to interact.
