When Klara turned back to face Clarke, she saw how impressed she looked at the sight of the cave and she was glad that the girl seemed to like the place. "Of course it needs some plants to hide the view to be really safe so I'll help you to find some and put them there but expect for that, it can be quite a comfortable place.". Her words were true, she liked this cave, it actually was one of her favorite places. She didn't usually share its existance with other people, not even with other Trikru scouts but the situation was different. Clarke couldn't hide from Trikru in their territory and it was the same for Azgeda so this unknown cave at the border seemed perfect.

As Clarke spoke about the place being beautiful, Klara said "Well... I try to keep this place as great as I can so feel free to tell me if I can help make it feel like a real home." According to what Clarke told her and to what she had heard, Klara was pretty sure that it was hard for the girl to feel like home down there so if she could do anything to help with that, she would be happy to do so. Helping people, especially psychologically lost people, was a need for her, that was one of the reasons why she took care of the orphans and that probably was what pushed her to help Clarke.

When the Skaikru girl thanked her, Klara replied "You know you don't have to thank me, helping people is what I do and if it can bring them some hope too, then I'm glad it does. But I don't think it's a gift, I think it's understanding... I mean, I know that hope can be a dirty four letter word sometimes... but there's always a little light somewhere to chase the darkness in your heart."

"Maybe. We can't know how we would react in a situation until we live this situation..." Klara admitted, Emori wasn't totally wrong, maybe Klara would react just like she did if the roles were reversed. Plus, if people had already use the fact that she gave them her trust, it was understandable that Emori didn't want this to happen again so she had a point. "Well... Then tell me what I can do to prove you that I really just want to help" Klara didn't like the tension between them, she just wanted to help and why not befriend with the thief but for that Emori had to believe that Klara didn't mean to harm her. But she knew it was hard to trust others especially when they weren't of the same clan. However, she also knew that sometimes you don't have the choice and trusting someone you don't know can be your only chance.

Seeing how carefully she was listening at her while she was explaining her job, Klara understood that Emori wasn't familiar with the clans and the job you can have when you're part of one. But she didn't want to make the girl withdraw into herself because she asked her questions that she didn't want to answer to. So, she just kept this in mind in case they began to speak later. And as Emori said that she had to be good at her job, Klara answered "In this job it's not only your skills that count, luck is also a huge factor..." Survival wasn't something easy even when you had skills but Klara had a feeling like she didn't need to tell this to Emori, because if her instinct was right, surviving was probably the life of the thief. And Klara was well placed to know that.

Realizing that her reaction was maybe a little excessive, Klara took a deep breath to relax a little, Emori had really uspet her saying that but it wasn't a good reason to yell at her like that. Once she calmed down, Klara said "You know, you should maybe consider staying for a bit longer than what you think if you want to be almost sure to get out of Trikru territory safe... Warriors are going to look for you for a while..." It wouldn't be safe for Emori to try to run away from Trikru territory until the warriors stop looking for her so she would have to stay there for a little while. But Klara will be here to help her until the time to go.

Once Klara had sat down, she watched Emori crouching down next to her and tearing her shirt to have a piece of cloth to stop the bleeding. Then, when the thief told her that she needed to try not to make too much noice, Klara gave her a little smile before nodding at her "Don't worry for me, just do it." Klara knew that it was going to be painful but she was ready for that.

It was a beautiful and quiet night... The perfect night to wander around alone in the woods after spending the whole day taking care of the orphans. This day had been a day like every others when Klara wasn't on a mission and she enjoyed that kind of day where she could spend time with the kids, having fun with them and sometimes teaching them some new things.

But this day was also a special day for her, it was the sad anniversary of the death of her mother. It happened years ago but still Klara wasn't over it. She would probably never totally get over it actually. She couldn't help thinking that maybe if she had had more healer skills, she could have saved her mother.

That was why, after checking if all the orphans were sleeping, Klara had decided to go walking around the village, she needed to take some air. After walking for a moment, she found herself in a small glade so she sat down and just looked at the stars thinking that maybe her mother was one of them.

Klara didn't want to talk about her life to Emori, she was still a stranger. But apparently, the thief understood that and Klara was thankful for her not to insist. After all, everybody had some things they didn't want to talk about especially with strangers. Actually, the scout was pretty sure that Emori was keeping things from her too and she didn't mind it. If she wanted to say something, Klara would listen but she won't make her speak about something she didn't want to talk about. "I know, I was joking... Why are you that much on the defensive? I just want to help..." Klara didn't expected an answer to that question, it was just that the girl seemed to overeact everytime Klara said something. The scout was aware of what would have happened to Emori if she had left her in Trikru territory on her own. That was why she had done what she did.

Klara noticed how surprised the thief seemed to be when she spoke about getting hurt quite often. She assumed that the girl didn't know much about the scout life. She probably didn't know much about life in a clan neither. Klara didn't recognize any of the clans when she looked at Emori so she assumed she was a nomad. But honestly, Klara didn't really care about where she was from. "Well... As a scout, I need to get very close to dangerous people sometimes to get the informations I've been sent to get... But when I'm not on a mission I prefer to avoid dangerous people too." When she wasn't on mission, she spent time with the orphans, taking care of them but she also liked spending some time on her own in the woods. That was what she was doing when Emori attacked her.

Klara was aware that her injury could have been worse but it was what she had to handle for saving the thief and it didn't make her regreting what she did even if Emori was beginning to get on Klara's nerves. The scout could understand that the girl was on the defensive after what happened but she didn't like the fact that the girl was treating her of being selfish. "Listen, I know you don't trust me and I don't ask you to because honestly I don't trust you either. But one of the first things you'll learn about me is that I'm not the kind of person who only thinks about herself. I think others more or at least as important as myself." Klara could have just came back to TonDC to see a healer and she could have handled the questions about what happened. But she didn't, she decided to help the girl until the end knowing that if she didn't go after her to help her hiding, the thief's chances to get out of Trikru territory without walking into warriors weren't very high. So Emori didn't have the right to say that Klara did that because it was better for herself. She wasn't like that, she put others first.

Klara got in the cave first letting to Emori all the time she needed to follow her. "Make yourself comfortable" Klara said when she noticed that the girl finally came in. As Emori told her to sit so she could take a look at her wound, Klara gave her a smile and said "Okay. Thank you for doing that." before sitting down.

Listening to Clarke, Klara found herself smiling at the girl as she was saying how glad she was to have a friend like her. "You should stop saying that or I will end up believing it." She said giving her a wink to let her know she was joking. Then she took a more serious tone and added "More seriously, that's not that I want to defend people... But I don't think they're all hypocrites. I think a part of them don't know how to deal with their war crimes so they don't even trust themselves which makes trusting someone else very difficult... But the others are just stupid people who don't see how a wonderful person you are." And when Clarke told her she hadn't been hugged in a while, Klara told her "I haven't been hugged a lot when I was a child so I got a lot of hugs in stock if you need."

Klara knew that Clarke was right, the fact that they had no reasons to trust the others shouldn't prevent them from resting and sleeping otherwise their mission was doomed to failure and it couldn't happen. But if she had to go in the tent to try to get some sleep, Klara would keep her dagger with her during the night to be able to protect the others if something happened. "Okay, I'm coming. Let's just hope you're right about them." Klara told her friend, she trusted her so if she thought that the two others could manage to keep watch them she was ready to let them a chance.

"I have to keep some of my mystery otherwise you might not be following me right now." Klara told Emori a little smile on her face. She could see on the other girl's face that her part of answer hadn't fed the thief's curiosity but Klara wasn't ready to tell her her whole story, to reveal her past. She was still a stranger. Plus, Klara wasn't sure she could give Emori what she wanted to hear. She could barely explain to herself why she helped this girl, it was all about that feeling she had like she needed to do something. Something pushed her to do what she did. Maybe it was because of her past or maybe she felt that the girl was someone good and deserved a second chance. Klara needed to figure that out before being able to answer to Emori's questions.

"I know. And if it all happened again I would have done the same. I'm definitly not blaming you for this." Klara didn't mean to make the girl feel like she was blaming her for that arrow but maybe it hadn't been really clear the first time she said it. "Getting hurt is part of my job... I was trained as a scout so I don't really care to get hurt, I'm kind of used to it." Getting injured could happened almost everytime in a scout life, but even if it was paintful, knowing that it was to save a life make it better. Then as they were speaking about her wound and the girl answered her question, Klara said "Thanks. At least it shouldn't be deadly so I guess I can say I'm lucky." There wasn't any vital organs in a shoulder so the worst that could happen to Klara was losing the use of her arm if the injury got seriously infected which was hopefully not going to happen. And unfortunately she couldn't go see healers to make sure of that. She couldn't take that risk. "Yeah, one sure thing is that it's better for both of us if no questions about what happened get asked." It was better for both of them, for Emori because Klara wasn't going to betrayed her by saying everything she knew and explaining how she helped but also for her because she couldn't afford to be asked questions about why she helped a thief who was trying to rob her.

After thinking about that, Klara realized they were arrived so she informed Emori "Here we are! Come in." she said tilting her head to invite the girl to enter the cave.

Klara was glad that Clarke stepped into the hug but she felt like her grin was hiding something. "Hey, can you at least tell me what's hiding behind that grin on your beautiful face?" Klara asked a smile full of concern on her face. Clarke was a very good friend which made her family for Klara so she was worried about her like any member of a family could be for his relatives. Klara was like that with all her friends and people she considered as family. She was worried and could be overprotective. That was how she was, in need to know that everyone she cared about was okay. But with Clarke it was different, loads of people saw her as Wanheda because of what she had to do in Mount Weather but Klara was one of the few who didn't and she kept seeing what was best in her friend.

"Well... I was going to stay out here and be on guard for a moment... And before you say anything I know it's not my job but I also know I'm not the only one not trusting the two others... But if you want me to share the tent with you, I'm coming." Klara said with a smile for the last part. If she was in the tent with Clarke it meant that she could still protect her so she was totally okay with this idea. Plus, it would probably be more comfortable than being sit on some tree stump alone or with people she didn't trust not far from her.
