❅AI GONPLEI❅ "Nothing spares the innocent." Isa did not say it to be cruel and dash any hopes that Clarke may have. The world that they lived in was not one where innocents escaped the cruelty of man and nature. Everything came with a price.
"The Mountain Men have been harming people for years." She paused as she looked at Clarke. The woman had clearly seen a lot in her years on the Ground, but she still held onto ideals that were almost adirable, if a bit childish. She had enough strength to survive, but the goodness and belief in peaceful solutions would take quite a beating. "They put the well-being of their own others, which inheritely isn't a bad thing, but they were unreasonable. They weren't willing to deal with the Trikru or anyone else."
There was guilt in the woman. Isa could see that. There was something heavy she was struggling with. Something that drove her away from her people and into the wild unknown.
"Sometimes people just can't be reasoned with. Sometimes bloodshed is the only way for the majority to survive." She told herself she was not offering comfort to the woman. She was merely just stating the obvious. "Not everyone can survive no matter how hard they try."

“And yet it’s a waste when you look at it.” Clarke stated. It was a wasted to sacrifice lives for something a stupid. Had the Mountain Men talked to them, had they accepted Kanes offer. They were enough to allow a lot of their people to go back to the ground, to start a new life there. Had they allowed that, there would be enough of them to treat their children after that, the children and new babies would go through the natural selection progress the Grounders and Arkers had already gone through. Had they allowed for them to help one step at a time all could have been so well. It was a waste of their children. They could have had a future.
“Do you know what happened in Mount Weather?” She didn’t even know if everyone knew of the massacre that happened in there. In the end, though, the lives she took was nothing compared to the lives the people there took, the lives of countless Grounders just for a bit of healing. Even with their bone marrow, they might have survived a little on the ground. There was just no good reason to kill like that. “Do you know what happened in TonDC?” She wondered what the Azgeda knew and thought of it. Some of their people were killed in that as well. Did they blame the Mountain Men? Did they not think in return that this massacre had to be avenged, yet their leader turned away? How was it Blood will have blood only applied to Finn, to the Arkers, not the Mountain Men? Clarke guessed she would never know or understand.

❅AI GONPLEI❅ "Waste happens." Isa replied with a shrug. "There are some people - sometimes only one but sometimes an entire group - that aren't fit to survive. It may seem like a waste at the time, especially with so few people in the world, but in the end aren't those remaining strengthened by it?"
"I've heard some." Icy eyes slid towards the other blonde. There was no judgement in them. Just stoic measurement. "Mount Weather dropped a bomb on TonDC. I saw it from a distance among the last of the Azgeba to enter the Trikru territory. Hardly a surprise they acted. Our leaders should've known better than to meet there, but hindsight sees all."
"As for Mount Weather... They made a deal with the Trikru, but made no such deal with your Skaikru." She did not know the particulars of what had happened within the mountain compound that led to the survival of Clarke's people, but she knew the basics. Isa never followed the rumours to find out more. "Your people made it out alive and, from what I hear, none of the Mountain Men have been seen since."

“You mean a deal with the commander. She speaks for the entire alliance.” And that was a big part of the problem. This was one leader speaking for evidently different cultures, she suspected not every culture saw it like Lexa had done. Other leaders might have vetoed it, would have vetoed it. It was one of the reasons she did prefer the way they organized their leaders. This way the council kept each other in check. Nobody had full power, they could overpower and veto the chancellor, if it needed to happen. That was something Clarke loved about the way they handled leadership. The decisions was much closer to the will of the people, than the will of one man could ever be.
“They’re all dead.” Clarke replied. She didn’t have to give away that she – along with Bellamy – had been the one to kill them. All it did was reveal that she was around when it happened, that she saw it. The leader knew, but that didn’t mean she wanted to share that with everyone. She learned not to trust easily and they only had a hair color in common. Apart from that they were strangers entirely. “My people were left with no choice by the commanders betrayal. It was kill or be killed. We killed.”

❅AI GONPLEI❅ "She speaks for the alliance. For now." Isa said no more about that. Clarke did not see the years of bloody war preluding the Coalition, but she was no naieve child to believe that going back to the way things were would be better. No, they had their peace even if it was flawed. It would last, until someone finally had enough and decided war was the better choice.
Orphaned by the war, Isa was torn between dreading it's return and heralding it's coming.
"Do you want me to condemn you and your people?" Isa's expression was carefully guarded. Blank so Clarke could not read her feelings on the matter. She was wanting to see the truth of the woman. There was something about the way she spoke, or rather the way she did not speak, that made Isa think she was a bit closer to the death's than she wanted to admit. "Or should I tell you that you did what you have to? Neither will ring completely true, will it?"
If Isa were more open with her thoughts, she would tell Clarke that the Skaikru did what they had to with the situation they were given. There was no way anyone could take on Mount Weather without casualties. Death happens and the Skaikru merely hastened the inevitable.
If she were more open she would tell Clarke to worry less about the deaths of the Mountainmen and what that meant for the Skaikru. Now the Azgeda, and all the other Grounder Nations, knew they were a force to be reckoned with. Useful allies, but deadly enemies.
"Tracks. We're getting close to a den." Isa motioned down to barely visible indentations in the snow. "Light feet, Clarke."
