Lilly wasn't sure about what had happened between when she left and now, but the more Harper talked, the more she wondered if she needed to know. Her leadership style wasn't like Kane's but effortlessly seemed to command the respect from others, or Bellamy's who bore so much weight from the group. She believed in team work, and wanted to see everyone helping with every job. She wanted them to come together and really make this work! She wanted to save the world, and keep them all from falling apart while doing it. No one was going to come out of this, worst then then went in! She promised herself that right then and there. Bellamy and Clarke were so serious, and they bore the weight so much--she wasn't going let herself loose her hope and optimism! She was going to bring that to her group!
"He has a past of being erratic," Harper had said, and it wasn't anything Lilly didn't know already. She had seen him durning this. "He was...broken. And he's done other things, in the more recent past, like when he was chipped." That made her pause, and blink in surprise. Something had happened while he was chipped? Something that would affect the group? She had planned to ask everyone to leave everything here, but if this would affect the group then maybe she needed to know? "So, I need to keep everyone safe. That means I need to think ahead of what might be a problem and Jasper could definitely be one." Harper didn't trust Jasper.
That was a surprise. A big one that she hadn't seen coming. Lilly looked over at Jasper, and then back to Harper, knowing that she was letting the silence pull on for a moment. "I know that after everything that happened at mount weather that Jasper did a lot of stupid things." She began, her voice calm and not judging Jasper or Harper in it. Harper should always feel comfortable with trying to talk to her, and she didn't want to dismiss that. "I know that him coming might have risks, but . . . " She trailed off, and reached over to touch Harper's arm, in a show of support. "What happened while he was chipped, was just that. It wasn't Jasper, but the computer woman. My mother didn't seem to care I was her daughter. I heard Raven even tried to kill herself, for the woman. Harper what people did . . . it wasn't them."
Jasper, even in his more reckless state, had saved Raven's life by getting her out of the city after ALIE had made her try to kill herself. He had only ever tried to hurt himself, and when his friends needed him, had done his best to come to their aid. With them taking no booze, and Jasper knowing what was at stake, she was willing take the risk with him.

"Hey, can we talk before we leave?" Lilly looked up at the words, and gave a polite smile to Harper. She was a bit nervous about what Harper wanted to talk about. "So, I'm happy I ended up with you." She admitted, and smiled; which made Lilly in turn smile a real smile back! That was good to hear! She had wondered if Harper wouldn't like following her, but hearing her honest words made the weight of that leave her. "Thank you, I am glad to know you will be there to have our backs." In honestly, Lilly was surprised that Harper hadn't been picked to lead. She figured though, that when you looked at their skill sets, it made a bit more sense. Lilly wasn't physical in her work, but a thinker. She could do well leading, but not fighting to protect her team. Harper was actively in the guard, and trained well. She would be better at watching both the group members and the outsiders for danger. Not that Lilly worried abut her group. Nyko was a peaceful healer, and Alekay---yeah she might want to warn Harper about him.
She didn't want him getting shot over his humor. Now might be a good time to brace Harper for that. "I wanted to talk to you about Jasper," Lilly was momentartly distracted by that. Thoughts of Alekay leaving her. "Jasper?" She asked, her eyes looking toward him, and back to Harper, with a slightly bend to her brow. Was there was something she didn't know? "We need him with us, obviously, but I'm worried that he'll be an idiot and do something to put us all in danger." She had heard that he had done that a few times when they were on mapping patrols, but not recently. He had been chipped though, so she wasn't sure really what happened then. "He didn't seem erratic when I just talked to him. Is there something I should know?" In truth, Lilly was a bit out of the know. She had only heard parts of the chipped story, and the happenings at Polis. She had used Jasper's distraction to escape and ended up with a group of grounders for the time all that was happening.

Lilly used her shoulder to bump Jasper's and try to get him to smile or something. She knew it was a long shot, but she had to try a little. She felt she owed him a lot after him helping her until she had found her mother after Mount Weather. Lilly had been born to privilege, but had hid it when they got to the ground since no one seemed to recognize her. She didn't want to be out casted like Clarke and Wells. Her mother had come down with Alpha station, and they were reunited here. That was when everyone had figured out she was a council member's daughter.
"Yeah, I get that." She admitted, "It's like me with my Mom. I rather not leave her right now either, but I want to help her stay alive. Which is why I am going to do this, and do my best!" And why she needed him to do the same. She needed him to be able to take charge of his job, and have a sharp eye on the readings. She wanted to believe that he could, but she wouldn't risk the mission on him. "I want to be honest with you Jasper, I am a bit worried about you. If you think this is too much for you, no one will judge you for staying here." Lilly reached over and rested her hand on his shoulder, "But I could really use you, and you're the best one on the team for this. I think that getting away from this place will do you good. So just let me know what you need, K?" She wasn't going to baby him, but she was here to help him if he needed it, and could ask for it.

Lilly was almost out of sight when there was a sound of something moving in the air, and then something smacking slightly. While she wasn't fast enough to see what it was, or where it was from--she knew instantly what was happening. The boar was turning it's attention to her! No longer trying to move slowly she begun backing up. She she lifted her foot, she tried to grab her knife from her boot but ended up falling back on her butt. Pushing backwards, she was about to push up and run . . . .
When she understood more of what was happening. The blade came from no where, and hit the neck. Lilly watched as it went down before getting more then a half dozen feet from her. Exhaling, she sat there for a moment, as she watched Alekay climb down from the tree. Alekay. She huffed out another breath. Alekay! Suddenly everything was making more sense! "You asshole!" She snapped at him, pushing up from the ground, and wanted to stamp her foot but THAT would set him off. "You could have killed me!" She bent down and put her knife up, but grabbed a few pine cones and threw them at him. She knew they wouldn't hurt if they hit him, but it made her feel better!
She straightened her clothes, and brushed the dirt off her backside, while glaring at him. Sometimes his humor was just what she needed. Sometimes it really helped her not take everything seriously, and just have fun--but sometimes it left her pissed off. This time it was the later. Once she was rearranged, she walked toward both the stupid beasts, and looked down at the dead one. "Good thing you have more brawn then brains, cause you're caring that back by yourself."

| Lilly went to look for sticks to help their campfire for the night. The others were sleeping, but Nyko was keeping watch. She wasn't even sure where Alekay was right now, and it might be a good thing! She was liable to beat him with her stick! She liked it when they played their games but she was the leader and she felt like she was failing with how he seemed to be leading more then her sometimes! Don't go that way, this way is better! Rest the horse or we wont get anywhere faster! Don't eat that, you'll get sick! . . . . alright with those examples he had been right, but he could have been nicer about telling her she was wrong! She knew that he was doing his job, but he could be SO arrogant! Sometimes it was charming, but sometimes she felt like an idiot! She was doubting herself, and felt as if she had this ball of energy from her emotions that she couldn't use! It made her feel caged and restless. Was this how the other leaders felt? Like they had to go harder, and prove themselves, and never be wrong? It was exhausting! She just wanted to feel like she was doing something right! She wanted to save him! Lilly heard a stick snap and she rolled her eyes. That had to be him! Everyone else was sleeping. She moved around the tree (planning to put her hands on her hips and glare) but instead of Alekay she found herself a few feet from a boar. Lilly held her breath, as it didn't seem to have taken notice of her. Alright, she took it all back! Where the hell was he when she needed him?! Without looking away from the boar, she lifted her foot to take a step away, and back behind a tree. Moving with slowness and carefulness she tried to step back out of sight. It was moving away from her, but she wasn't taking her eyes off it until it had moved out of sight! |

Lilly walked toward where she saw Jasper sitting, and paused a few feet away until he turned to look at her. She smiled softly at him then and walked forward to sit beside him. "I'm glad you're on my team." She told him, wanting him to know that first and foremost. She hadn't really worried too much when he had been assigned too her. Had Jasper been in better shape he would be leading this mission. She knew that. He had had a rough few months, and she was worried that he might not be ready for this type of mission, but he had keep her alive in Mount Weather. She was hoping that this could be what he needed to help him get back to the old @jasper420. The one who believed in himself. She knew that he would still help the team--he had saved Raven, and without knowing it herself too. When he stole the rover and everyone gave chase, she had escaped from the group of people waiting to be chipped and gotten away, too.
Lilly kept smiling softly at him, trying not to treat him like she thought he was fragile. "I was a little surprised you volunteered at all." She admitted, not finding it easy to come out and ask him if he thought he could keep up. She didn't want to ask him to stay, but this mission was important. She was trying to test the waters to make sure he could do it. She believed he could! He had been so strong before. She just knew that he was hurting now, and she hadn't ever lost anyone. She hadn't even really loved anyone like that before. The later might not be true. She did care about someone a lot, but with everything happening she knew she couldn't really let herself think on that.

| Jacket. Check. Pack. Check. Courage.....working on it! Lilly smiled to herself for a moment, before squaring her shoulders and nodding her head. She wasn't going to buckle under the challenge. It was clear someone believed in her enough to give her this job, and she wasn't going to let them down by failing! She was going to push through any fear she felt, and find this special place where everyone could live and be safe! Picking up the map that they would use (that she had went to get before Alekay could go get it himself, she pulled her pack over one shoulder and went to seek him out. The first order of business would be getting them started, and planning which way they should go. It took her a little bit to find him in the crowd, even though she had been watching him from the corner of her eye since they announced he was her scout. "Alekay!" Lilly called out, trying to keep her excitement from her tone. She couldn't let the fact that her belly dipped every time he smiled make others think she wasn't going to do her job to the best of her ability. She wasn't going to show favoritism, this was serious. And she did take it very serious. Lilly knew her mother's life--all her people's lives--relied on her and the others finding a place. It weighted on her, but she had to focus on what she could control. She had seen the way things weighted on Kane, and Bellamy. How they wore the weight of their power within the groups so strongly. She didn't know how to do that. She had to do what she knew how to do--and that was to lead like her mother. With calm, and logic, and a smile. "I picked up the map and was looking at it. I was thinking we could follow the bottom of the mountains?" She had asked it it and realized her error right away. "I think this is what we should do." Yeah, that was her telling him. Though the word think suggested she wasn't sure. "This is the plan." Yeah! That sounded sure! Lilly was glad he had been assigned to her group, and she wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that she had worked with him before. She had come to enjoy the traveling that they had done tonight before, and while she wished he had let her do more, she knew that this time she could prove her worth. Why that was important to her, specifically with him, she didn't think too much on. Besides....he was really hot and she liked it when he 'lead' her anywhere. The view was better. |

Lilly was fighting to stand still! This mission would be the hardest thing she had ever done, by choice at least. She would be leading this mission! Not because she was her mother's daughter, or that Kane favored her mother, but because she had earned it! Working hard and staying on her path had lead her to this point! While it would be hard to once again say good bye to her mother, she would do it to help save her. She wasn't afraid of what was out there, not anymore. She was ready to undertake this! She had the best crew out of the bunch too! Lilly knew this wasn't something to smile about, but she wanted tp prove herself, and this was her chance! She really believed that there would be a place for them all out there!
Lilly was the daughter of Callie, a council member on the Ark; and still a predominant member of their people. When she was arrested for illegal substances and sent to Earth, she had lied about who she was. The only few privileged who had known her hadn't given her away. It had only been recently, after mount weather, that others had learned that she had been raised in the upper classes. She had worked hard, and trained to join the guard. First under Bellamy's guide while they were at the dropship; and later with the actual guard at Camp Jaha. When Pike became commandar she had kept her head down, and not gotten evolved in the politics. It was later that she would begin to stand out. When ALIE took over the camp, she used Jasper's distracted on stealing Raven as a way of escaping. She hadn't known where she was going, but she ended up finding some grounders who thankfully didn't kill her. They had spread the word of what was happening tot he clans, and helped slow the mass spreading. Because of this, she was given the role as leader of her own group. Delta Group!
Looking over across the room she looked at Nyko, a man she had only met in passing, but never spoken directly too. He was known as peacful, and good. That was great for her, because Lilly wasn't one who could overly assert her power every day. Nyko was smart, and she would do well to take his advice when she needed it. Then here was Harper. Lilly was excited that Harper was on her team. They had been been on the dropship that had sent the 100 down, and in Mount Weather together. She respected Harper, and was a little surprised she wasn't leading this mission. Yeah, she had a good team! The only real concern was Jasper. Looking over at him, Lilly tried to guage how he was doing. For a while he had helped keep everyone alive while in Mount Weather, and she had thought he would have risen int he ranks after that; but the loss of Maya had taken a toll on him, and she was worried that he might not be ready for this mission. She hoped this would be good for him, since they were taking no booze, but she also knew that if he really wanted to do himself harm there were other ways. He had been known for herbs on the Ark. Him and Monty.
The last member of their team was Alekay. Lilly had tried to keep from looking at him the longest, but now she found herself looking toward him. Alekey. That would be her other challenge. They had spent the most resent weeks traveling together, and she wasn't sure if they would kill each other before they figured out how to make a good team. He had led them last time, and hadn't overly let her help. Lilly grinned toward him, enjoying the moment of knowing this was her moment. Now she was in charge, and she was going to enjoy reminding him of that.
She wasn't worried though. Her team would be alright. They were good at what they did, and she was sure that they would make the perfect team. It would do everyone good to get out of here for a while anyway.

Lilly knew she made the offer at the wrong time when he turned to look at her. He didn't make a face more then any other face he made, but she was coming to just know when he was about to make fun of her. "She says she can hunt!" Great. Lilly rolled her eyes, but she also bit her lip to try to make her face look more irradiated then she really was. Alekay gave her a twig, and she looked at ti confused for a second. "Catch up some snail. That won't be too difficult for you, will it?" Ugh! Lilly's breath exhaled in a half laugh, half annoyed sound. He managed to do that. Make this a little fun and a little like she wanted to kill him.
"That shouldn't be too hard, watch this," She teased, before poking him with the twig. "Got one." She grinned to herself at that one for a second while tossing the twig to the side. "For real, Alekay, I can hunt." She hadn't been the best, but she did alright. She had been on the 'guard' that Bellamy had made and she'd gone hunting a lot for them. Had gotten used to doing it. She might not have been doing this all her life, but she was a fast learner! She got that from her mother. "I want to pull my own weight here." She didn't want him thinking her weak and clueless! Lilly wasn't sure why but his opinion of her skills mattered. They were supposed to be her enemies, but she wanted to prove she could keep up. Octavia did it! How hard could it be? (Confession, she knew it was going to be a hell of a lot harder then she was making it out to be, but she was trying to think positively)!

Lilly was running too fast to really pay attention to where she was going. She didn't even know where she was going but she hoped that she could get far enough away that she could stay free enough to figure it out. The city had fallen, and thankfully Jasper had made a big enough ruckus at the main gate that she had fled out the side. She didn't have a plan, or any sort of idea what to do now. She knew Kane and the others had escaped a while back but Lilly had no idea how to find them!
At one point in her run, she stepped in something, and before she could take the next step, her foot was jerked from under her, and she slamed into the the ground. It knocked the breath from her, but she didn't even have time to realize that before she was jerked into the air--High into the air! She let out a little scream, as she swung wildly for a moment, before her thinking caught back up to her. She was caught in a trap. A grounder trap!
She twisted, and pulled, and tried to get to the knot holding her foot, but it was tight on her. "Damn it," she hissed as she kept trying. "Blah blah blah bla blah blahlie blah." Grounders! She jerked her head up--err down--to look at them She didn't know what he said, but she knew that right now the odds of them not killing her were slim. Her heart beat so hard she thought it might stop. Finally the one who spoke did so again. "Aren't you a bit far from home, Skai girl?" Words she understood.
Lilly weighted her options. In the end, she decided that if she had news they wanted to hear, she might get cut down, and have a chance--if she refused to talk she could be dead before she hit the ground. "Not anymore. The city has fallen." She admitted, not giving more detail. Buying her time. She knew she couldn't fight her way out, but she knew she wasn't going down without one, either.

| Lilly was walking with the group and trying to make sure no one noticed how she watched Alekay's behind as he walked in the front of the group. She wasn't the type to ogle--but damn! They had been traveling for a while, and walking to warn the other clans to nations or whatever they called themselves. The city that they had built had fallen--not to grounders but to a computer. She was taking over the minds of the people, and making them do her bidding. Lilly had seen it happening, but had been lucky. She'd gotten out when everyone was distracted as Jasper kidnapped Raven. She didn't however have anywhere to run too. Not long after she'd escaped, Lilly had found a group of grounders that (thankfully) had not killed her, and instead seemed willing enough to hear her out. They weren't stupid, they could see something wasn't right. Now she was following them as they warned the other nations and make sure they had a way to fight this. Lilly was worried about her mothers, and didn't know her fate. Yet she hoped that some how they could find a way to find her mother. Callie had not given up on her when she was in mount weather, and Lilly was not going to give her mother up to some city of light bull shit. Screw that! It had been a few days since she had ended up sleeping with one fo the grounders. She wasn't even sure how it had happened, but once turned into an awkward afterwards, and then twice and thrice. She almost even expected it to happen again. Soon they would be stopping for the night. Something about not wanting to cross into another nation's grounds int he night, because it was too easy for them to mistake their intentions and try to kill them. Which was why she was staring at the backside of the man. Did he expect this tonight? They weren't romantic, but they were good in bed (or well, they'd not really been in a bed-bed). Sometimes she didn't mind him being around (in the rare times he wasn't laughing at her), and she felt safer around him then the others in their group (again, she was really shocked they hadn't killed her). But other times she wanted to hold his head under the mud do she didn't have to see that cocky smirk. "I can hunt tonight." She offered tot he group when it looked like they were slowing to look for a place to stop. With her people she had been good at learning to hunt and track--but after being around the grounders she could see that what she thought was good they thought was laughable. Still, she could try. |

He shifted even closer, and Lilly bit her lip for a moment. Still, before this moment could turn into what she was hoping it would, there was one thing she had to know. "You called Clarke and Wells out. You used the crowd against them . . . I guess I am just surprised that you didn't include me there too." Though grateful. She hadn't wanted to have the ones who befriended her turn against her. She didn't want to have to be alone down here, and sometimes she thought that was why they had looked like. Clarke, Wells, and Finn. They were, or had been, alone. Just them.
Her hand reached up to twist one of his curls around her finger while he answered, and Lilly knew that she didn't want to feel alone now either. Dropping her hand from his curl, her finger tips trailed over his cheek, down his neck, and came to rest over his heart. There she pressed, as if she was able to feel his heart beating. He was a good guy, no matter how he tried to make the others think differently. They all saw it sometimes. Trailing her fingers back up, Lilly brushed over his lips, before leaning in to kiss them lightly. Not a thank you--but an offer. If you want me, take me.

She could have been dead too. Yeah, that was true but it didn't make it any easier to know that had they gone out in force that maybe they could have come back the same way. Yet because of fear only a few of them had gone out looking for his sister, and instead stayed back behind the wall where they knew they'd be safe. Now Roma, and John were dead. "Maybe, but that is something we have to get used too right?" Which was the dumbest thing she'd ever heard. "Maybe if more of us went, more would come back."
It had ever made any sense to her why Roma even went, but Lilly wasn't judging a dead girl. Pulling back from the hug she looked up at him, knowing there was still more to this. "Have you told her girlfriend yet?" That wouldn't be easy. At least Murphy wasn't around to know that his best friend (though Lilly thought they were more) was dead. Bree however was here and Lilly knew that she would take it hard. None of them were used to people dying. "I can help you, if you want." Feeling like she needed to make up for not going, was what prompted that. IN truth, she didn't want to see anyone's face as they where heart broken.
