I think it's understandable, talking about home is hard sometimes. ( it makes people miss it, or causes them to be embittered either about their home compared to the Drabwurld, or the Drabwurld compared to home. so she understands, but- after a year and a half, she's not so bothered by it anymore.
while she falls in step with him, she's also just as quick to stop, staring at him for a moment. she often forgets that people haven't known her and Bellamy since the beginning. )
We didn't get along at first, I came from upper-class on the Ark, he was from lower. If the Ark thought I was dead on the ground, he thought that would be incentive for the Arkers not to come to Earth with us. At least that was his logic.
A lot of things happened. We decided that working together was better than the alternative of letting chaos reign through the hundred. We were right.
[He's quiet, listening to the story for a moment as he thinks that over. Somehow that doesn't surprise him too terribly considering the little bit he knows about Bellamy. So after a brief moment he suddenly nods and accepts it.]
I'm pretty sure I've read a book like that, but I don't think there were any girls to balance out the boys so everything sort of went nuts. [That is to say, Clarke is clearly the voice of reason here.] Maybe you guys can work together to help the rest of us get our act together, too. Who knows? [There's a shrug...but he knows they're all sort of a giant hot mess. It's crazy.]
I can see why you guys don't really tell people though. Must be weird to think about now.
The problem with the Unseelie getting their act together is that we're made of people who break tradition and fall out of rank. It's... hard to coordinate; the kids back home were criminals and delinquents, but they were still kids that needed people to look out for them. That's not really the case here.
( she wishes it were that easy, but there are too many personalities at work, too many people with set agendas. it would be a feat far beyond what her and Bellamy were capable of, that much she's sure of. )
If you think about it, actually? Everybody's a group of delinquents that need other people to look out for them. [Himself and Clarke, included.] There's...you know. Forget it, it's not a big deal.
[He'll formulate his thoughts much, much later. They're going to be late. He approaches the fairy ring and nods, flashing her a bright grin.]
So ready. [Don't mind him already jumping through the ring. Come on, Clarke. They have a long day ahead of them.]

You're telling me.
( Clarke finally nods towards the fairy ring. )
Ready?
