( Makes sense. I felt like I slept for days the first time I tried mine. ) [ Then again, his first venture into it was a bit more intense that he probably should’ve tried. It’s good Lexa’s taking it slow, especially considering it’s such a potentially destructive power, and Sam makes a mental note to skip the net for places she might be able to train in, away from people who might witness. ]

( If you mean that it was part of fate that I was brought here, yes, I agree. But I don’t think I’ll be going back to where I came from. )

[ it had just all seemed so… final. His world was long, long gone, and a new one was started, everything from the past he represented wiped away like dust from a chalkboard, and rightfully so. It had felt… right. To be taking his exit, to be leaving with Kara. That’s all more complicated than he really wants to get into, but there’s a vague sense of it in the link between them - both the certainty, and the peace with it. It’s nothing he feels sad or cheated over. After all, death is hardly the end. ]

( Your loyalty and perseverance is admirable, Lexa. Not everyone would commit their lives so much to looking after others like that. ) [ the first week in the nest, he’d been selfish. Just wanted to leave, go into that next life with Kara and have his peace with her. But it’d be abandoning everything they’d worked for, and this chance to protect it. ]

[Her mind flickers briefly to Bellamy, to Titus, and to so many others. The pressure placed on her even before she had Ascended has been heavy, and it's led to her making some ruthless choices along the way. Bellamy has been on the receiving end of that. Clarke, too. But Titus thought it necessary, and had he been there with her on the battlefield that day, he would have encouraged it.

Then again, killing Nia had been a betrayal in a different way, taking the blood that was long owed to her. But she knows that she moved to move Roan into her favor, rectifying and changing everything with the Ice Nation in one fell swoop.

She seems to send along a hint of disagreement.]

( It would only be admirable if I cared about more than my people. Yes, they number in the thousands, but do not think me some hero of legend. I don't want you to have the wrong idea about me. ) [She will screw everyone over in this Nest if it permanently protects her people, sans Bellamy, who would somehow be worked into the deal.

And if it's hundreds of iterations of her world that she's protecting?

Then she'd still do it without thinking twice.]
