Chapter 2: Where do we go from here?

Clarke turned and started walking backwards, smiling brightly at Lexa. "What's your favorite color? I bet it's blue. Lots of people like blue."
Lexa sighed. "It's green, actually. Like the forest."
"Oh. Cool," Clarke replied, turning again to face forward and slowing down so she was walking beside Lexa. They continued in silence for a few minutes, walking across empty roads and fields.

"My favorite color is blue, because of the sky," Clarke said, interrupting the silence. Lexa smiled at her. The girl was annoying, but something about her made Lexa want to smile. "Okay sky person, can you tell me where you're leading us?"
Clarke grinned widely. "I have absolutely no idea, tree." Lexa stared at her as they walked. "First of all, tree? There are so many better names than tree." She gazed around them nervously. "And, do you realize we have no food, no supplies? Where do we even go from here?"
Clarke's smile faltered and she stopped walking. Lexa stopped too, glancing at her questioningly. "I don't have the greatest life back there," Clarke started. "I say we just keep going, see where our feet take us." Lexa nodded. "I don't have a great life either, Clarke. But you're making it a whole lot better than it was before."
"Okay, Grounder," Clarke replied with a weak smile. "Let's get a move on." Lexa shook her head at the nickname but decided it was at least better than 'tree'.
