THALIA LIFTED THE FLAP OF HER TENT AND BEGAN TO PACK FOR THE JOURNEY THAT WAITED AHEAD. As Thalia grabbed her weapons, she started to rethink her actions. However, her thoughts were interrupted when a worrisome Lucah entered her tent. "Please be careful Thalia," he says as he watches her load up her weapons into her pack.
"I'll be fine Lucah," she assures him, patting his shoulder while giving him a sly smile. "Your only focus should be on our people and making sure they don't do anything stupid while I'm gone."
"And I will make sure of that," he responds. "I just, I worry about you Thalia. Especially when you're outside of the gates."
Thalia threw her bag over her left shoulder as she pulled him into an embrace with her right arm to which he responded by wrapping his arms around her waist. "I have Orion, Elijah, and many more with me. If that doesn't say I'll be fine, then I don't know what does." Thalia leaned back and placed her right hand on his cheek. "Your job is too make sure nothing happens here."
In the position they were in, they both managed to get a good look of each other. Lucah couldn't help but let his eyes wander. His eyes flickered down to Thalia's plumped lips. His eyes connected with her warm brown ones that always manages to make his knees go weak. Without thinking, Lucah began to lean however Thalia caught onto it thus having her pull back her right hand and rest it on her side. At the sudden action, Lucah took that as his cue to unwrap his arms from her waist.
With a deep sigh, Thalia broke the awkward silence by making her way towards the exit of her tent. As she pulled back the flap, she couldn't help but look over her shoulder to spare one more glance at Lucah before leaving.

"Go easy on Octavia. I had to beg her to get into camp."
Bellamy stared at the blonde who he once called a friend but now, all he saw was a stranger. "What are you doing here Clarke?"
"We need to talk-" she begins.
"Oh, you've decided that? The mighty Wanheda who chose the grounders over her own people, who turned her back on us when we came to rescue you. Now, you want to talk?" Anger riled up inside him. Anger that he wanted to unleash and Clarke being here was not helping at all.
The blonde took a few steps forward. "I came to tell you that Ice Nation has paid a price. Justice has been served for the attack on Mount Weather. I came here to tell you, it's over."
