[Clarke extends her hand, and were it anyone else, she would not take it. The exposure of such vulnerability goes against her nature, against all she's trained to become. What was done to them is unwilling. Wearing her emotions on her skin is hardly advantageous. But to live in a world where protecting herself from that would mean severing the contact of their skin... in the end, perhaps it's an easy choice to make.

Their fingers thread together as the bond is reengaged, blue coloring her chest. Her brow furrows in concentration, attempting to focus on the stream that flows between them as she would focus on the voices of the past Commanders. Instead, she's met with the wall of Clarke's grief, and it's enough to prick tears at the corner of her own eyes.]


So we find them.

[Steel in her voice, despite the flood of emotion she's suddenly overcome with. Difficult to tell herself from Clarke. Difficult to draw a line. She forces herself to focus again, gripping Clarke's hand tighter. Something else presses urgently on her mind.]

You've seen my future. Who has succeeded my place? [She must know, for the sake of her people.] What happened to the Coalition?
