Maybe she was imagining things. Maybe what she thought she saw was not really there. She thought she saw a smile, even if it was just one of the fleeting, kind smiles she always had. It pained her so much and yet...it was a welcome change to just see her friend smile at her, even if it was just a short, small moment. Clarke needed a moment like that right now, more than anything, if she was honest. She had to decide over the fate of so many of her friends - luckily she knew some of her friends were on that list, some for reasons of them being essential personnel, others for the sake of the gene pool and for reproductive reasons. If it wasn't such a secret thing, she would probably have to test some people, but they had neither the time nor luxury.
Clarke nodded and took some of the water and food offered to her. "To be honest?" She asked Leiana. "I just need...a friendly face and a conversation that has nothing to do with blood, life or death or politics." She said softly. Everyone knew she was involved in these things, it has not been a secret in ages. She had no doubt that Leiana was just as aware. When was even the last time they had a moment? Let alone a moment together. "We haven't sat together in ages....was it at the drop ship maybe?" And if it was, well it showed how absent Clarke was for her friends even, for everyone. The burden she shouldered in part due to herself and to it being forced upon her. "No matter when, it has been too long."

"Bilaik Lara." She said. She knew she had to hide clan affiliations. It would be unfortunate in most events, especially given since she ventured across borders with little regards to them. "I am a wanderer. I speak for no clan and no clan speaks for me." And that was the one way she could survive all of this maybe. Survival among grounders, it was hard and next to impossible. Their culture was based on violence and bloodshed. Blood was so deep ingrained in them, it was the answer to next to everything and that was something that was now the reason why her life was at risk, so much so that her return was next to impossible. They only stopped their bloodshed to save their own skin, their leader had shown as much and Clarke was still bitter over it.
"Mochof. I need durable food, too. I am running low on these supplies and I have no skills in preparing these. I was taught as a healer." She said. And that, too was something she said to protect herself. The default for Grounders was to assume another person was a warrior. She had to make sure they knew she was not. And healers, especially skilled ones, were rare enough to let them live longer, in hopes of aquiring and exploiting their skills.

The list was a resource they might have to use, but she knew nobody wanted it. The more the better, but this list...she didn't make it out of spite, out of hatred, but out of necessity. Every single name - except for her own - was well thought through due to skills, medical history and the likeliness of survival. She had even considered a gene pool, which was why theoretically there were no families on there, except for herself - again not her decision - and her mother and both Blakes. And yet there was a reason for both of them that justified it in terms of this without putting a gene pool at risk.
"There is no better way, Harper. Everyone deserves a chance, but the other choice would have been a fight to the death in the end." She said. "We are far away from the list taking effect. But in the end, this is a last resort and it's a good thing to have. So many not on that list deserve to live, I know. But ultimately, it comes down to the fact that for now we only have 100 people we can save and we have to make the most of it. Raven and Bellamy knew about that list, too, I did not make the decision alone. I am sorry, Harper, but with this as our viable solution, the choice is taken from us. But that does not mean that this list is the end. We are searching and we will keep searching to save more people than that, including you. But this is the hard choice I had to make." She turned away from Harper then. "I would focus on beating these odds. We still have time."

Do you believe your mother is fit for leadership? What are her qualities? What are her flaws?
"My mother has many good qualities. She is a good doctor. She can offer perspective on things. But leading alone is not her strong suit, I think. She is emotional, gets carried away. Especially if it's about me. She is a mother and thus focused on my well being, which might lead her to certain strong decisions. She is however good on a council. Leading alone might not be for her, but being in a discussion about leading. She's great in a council."

Is Wanheda a badge of honour?
"Wanheda is no badge of honour to me. To your culture maybe, but not me. Your culture is based in war and strength through physical strength. I wasn't raised that way. I have forced myself to accept it. And I do. It gives me a position I wouldn't otherwise have in your culture, but I'd rather have never earned it. I did what I had to do to save my people. And I continued to do so. The title wanheda haunts me, but it gives me...a possibility to do what I have to do. It's just not honour I associate with it. But blood and pain."

Do you believe in soulmates? Have you found yours?
"I don't think I do. Not in that way. What even are soulmates? The perfect opposite of yourself? Or a mirror of yourself? What is a soulmate? What is the definition of the word? There is so much love to be found. Maybe one can have more than one soulmate? If it existed, I think I came close once. But I don't think I'll ever know. Life isn't exactly kind on soulmates."

Have you noticed any heightened senses or abilities since becoming a nightblood?
"I haven't, at least I don't think so. If I should have them, maybe it's being surrounded by heightened levels of radiation. My body might be busy metabolizing it. Maybe when levels are normal again I might feel something. Or not. I guess only time will tell with this one."
