nadezhda smiled as octavia laid her arm across her stomach. she held her close, draping her arm over octavia's shoulder, occasionally stroking her hair gently, trying to comfort her. she and the other girl had been through so much together. they had both almost died a few times, sometimes almost killed by each other but now they were now, wrapped in each other's arms. when she had been a warrior and when she had first become the commander she hadn't been happy and she didn't really think she could every be happy, ever love anyone or be loved. yet she was here, with someone who she had once called her enemy. she kissed octavia on the forehead. "goodnight, o," she replied before she closed her own eyes and drifting off into the darkness of sleep.

Octavia drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face. She slept through the whole night, only waking when she heard noises from outside the tent. The kids from the Ark must all be up and preparing for the day. She groaned, closing her eyes again, not wanting to get up yet. Why was everyone here so noisy? Did they not know what a lie in was. It was then that she took note of the body beside hers, the body she was currently cuddling up to, with her leg draped over hers. She opened her eyes, smiling as she looked down at the commander, looking so peaceful. She didn't want to wake her, so she rested her head back on the pillow, staying silent and motionless. She watched Nadezhda as she slept, taking in every detail of her face. She didn't look like she was trying to hide her emotions, she looked so at peace. Octavia liked it, she truly was beautiful. Hopefully, the commander would let her guard down more around her. Octavia preferred this not-worried-about-anything commander than the harsh protect-her-people-at-all-costs commander she usually was.

- I have worked 51 hours total this week. I am shattered, I am so looking forward to being off on Tuesday so I can just sleep.

quiet sound rung into the commander's ears as everyone in the camp started to stir around their tent. nadezhda felt eyes on her and began to stir. she looked over to see octavia glazing down at her. she smiled. "good morning," she said to her. she yawned before she forced herself to get out of the bed and change into her outfit. "you should dress, we have to speak to clarke this morning," she said to her. she walked back over to the make shift bed and picked up her sword, slipped into her sheath. she buckled it around her waist. she picked up a few dagger, discreetly slipping them into various places in her clothing. she could never be too prepared, especially when she was trapped in a camp full of sky people.

--- omg, take your time to reply and get some rest! i know how it feels to be that exhausted and all i want to do is sleep lol

Octavia let out a groan, not wanting to get out of bed yet. She complied though, throwing the fur covers off of her and getting up from the make shift bed. She stretched out, a little sore. It wasn’t really comfortable to sleep on, but she had managed with worse so she wasn’t complaining. Besides, she was sure anything was better than sleeping on the dirty floor. She stretched once more before removing the clothes she slept in. She hadn’t changed out of them last night, but Clarke had been kind enough to leave her a set of fresh clothes on the little table. She looked them over, she’d fit right in with the sky people wearing this. She had gotten used to wearing grounder clothes, so it was a bit of a change. She quickly got dressed, and was surprised at how comfortable the shirt was. It had a few holes around the hem, but that didn’t bother her. She turned around to face Nadezhda. “You don’t need that many weapons, I know not everyone here is overly fond of you but they’re not stupid enough to attack the grounders leader. They’d all be dead the minute your people found out.” She said, noticing how Nade concealed a few daggers under her clothes.

the commander let out a huff of air as she finished changing. nadezhda sat on the bed, weaving small braids into her hair and putting on her face paint while octavia got dressed. she looked over the girl. she really did look just like a sky person when she wore those clothes, that was what octavia was after all. she pushed herself off of the makeshift bed. "hey, we never know and we can never be too prepared. sometimes when people are angry they forget their senses and they might become stupid enough to attack me," she said with a smirk. "or who knows, what if my people caught word of this meeting and decided it would be best to wipe all of your people out? or what if someone tried to attack you?" she questioned. "we have to be ready for anything." she pulled a dagger out of her pocket and handed it to octavia. "here, you never know when this many come in handy," she said to her. she took a deep breath. "lets be on our way," she said, pushing through the flap of the tent to walk out into the busy camp.

--- okay! take your time, sorry to be bumping so much, i just don't want to loose the thread

[swiftie 13]

It’s no problem, I haven’t been able to get on at all the last couple weeks. Sorry I couldn’t let you know, but I’ve been doing 12-13 hour shifts almost every day and have only had two days off since the last time I posted so I’ve been rather busy even on days off.

Octavia hesitantly took the offered dagger and stashed it in her boot, concealing it with her pant leg so that her friends wouldn’t be able to tell she had a weapon. She wasn’t sure she’d need it, but Nadezhda was right. If anything went wrong, she’d need to defend herself. The trusted that the sky people wouldn’t do anything, but she still considered the grounders to be unpredictable. Well, most of them anyways. A couple seemed to like Octavia, and had helped her back in Polis so she was sure that they weren’t all the same. “Alright, just promise me that if anything does go wrong, we’ll try talking before doing anything... violent. If we really want peace, we can’t jump to start a fight at the first opportunity.” She said. Though she has to admit, she found it rather attractive watching Nadezhda her riled up, ready for a fight. Still, it wasn’t something she particularly wanted. “All right, lets go.” She said as she headed out of the tent. She spotted Clarke across the yard, talking with a few other sky people.
