Lexa huffs and fights the urge to roll her eyes "Is this really necessary?" she asks and receives a glare from Clarke

Since their return to the Camp they are in the Med Tent and Lexa is starting to be impatient.

"Yes. We were just lucky that I could clean your wound at the drop ship, but I want to make sure it won't get infected" the blonde says as she removes the bandage from Lexa's shoulder.

The brunette rolls her eyes but smiles. She winces as Clarke slightly touches the wound then cleans it again. "Will I survive?" the commander asks with a smirk.

"Of course you will. I wouldn't let anything happen otherwise." Clarke chuckles shaking her head as she puts Lexa's arm in a sling. It surprises her that Lexa lets her do that without any comment or glaring.

The commander looks at her smiling softly. Somehow she is different, both of them is. They are so close but still, both of them are hesitating.

"Now you will surely survive" Clarke breaks the silence softly tapping Lexa's shoulder.

"I am in good hands" Lexa smiles and kisses Clarke's hand. Clarke chuckles and shakes her head "Oh you..." she leans her forehead on the other girl's forehead and looks in her eyes. The wound on Lexa's face is not that bad, it doesn't seem to bother Lexa that she might have a scar. Not a big one, but enough to remind her of yesterday, it will surely remind Clarke of that day for sure. She kisses her cheek where the cut is "They really want to kill you, commander"

"But you will not let them, will you?" Lexa asks smirking, Clarke just nods and puts her forehead back on Lexa's, starring in her eyes.

Lexa smiles and it is the most genuine smile she's ever showed, Clarke does that to her, she makes her do things she's never done before, maybe once.

Suddenly there is a loud thud and a huff and it makes Clarke jump away from Lexa, and the commander's expression hardens too.

"I want the grounders out of camp! Now!" Abby almost shouts glaring at her daughter and the grounder leader.

Lexa wants to get down from the bed and stand in front of the chancellor but she is stopped by a squeeze of her thigh. She looks at Clarke's hand then at Clarke not amused at all but Clarke is starring at her mother.

"Why?" Clarke barks and glances at Lexa who clenches her jaw and shots another glare.

The chancellor ignores the glares and she doesn't even notice Clarke's hand on Lexa's thigh "They are violent, they don't respect our rules and we don't understand what they are saying" Abby says seriously looking at her daughter then her gaze moves to Lexa "Tell them to leave" she orders
The commander's expression says nothing about what is on her mind, she stares at Abby with cold gaze then pushes Clarke's hand away and gets down from the hospital bed "I don't take orders from you..." she looks at Clarke "or anyone" she says firmly searching for eye contact with Abby which she finds.

"If we want this alliance to work..." Abby starts and she receives another glare from her daughter " ...properly our people has to get along and that means..." she cannot finish because the younger woman doesn't let her.

Clarke huffs and grabs Lexa's good hand "C'mon Lexa, we're leaving" she grumbles and leaves the tent literally pulling Lexa with herself

Once they are outside and far enough from the tent Clarke looks behind to make sure her mother is not following them, she wants to continue walking but Lexa refuses to move

The brunette stares at the sky princess with cold gaze. She clears her throat "What was that?" she barks not caring who will hear them. "I don't need protection against your mother!" she clenches her fist as soon as Clarke drops her hand

"Then I should just let her talk badly of you? Of your people? I will not let her do that. I am the leader and I will not let her ruin this. I will not let her insult our allies, my friends" Clarke shots back. She talks firmly and takes a step closer to Lexa.

"I am not your friend Clarke" Lexa backs off "I am your ally and your protection is not needed" she bites her inner cheek to be able to keep a straight face

"I thought we were more than just allies" the blonde says silent and Lexa knows she is hurt.

The thought of taking off the sling and just leave crosses the commander's mind, but as she moves her arm a little she realizes that it is definitely not the best idea.

"I have other things to do" she says with a sigh then turns her back on the blonde. After a few steps she stops and closes her eyes. Lexa takes a deep breath and waves to some of her warriors to follow her

"They listen to you...don't forget that, Clarke" she says but doesn't look back at the sky princess. With another sigh the commander makes her way out of camp back to Tondc with some of her warriors. On the way she looks at her shoulder and shakes her head slightly 'Thank you' she thinks

Clarke clenches her fists but watches Lexa disappear in silence. She doesn't know what to do now. She cannot go back to her mother and she cannot follow Lexa either. She realizes only now that eyes are fixed on her. She rolls her eyes "What? You never heard an argument between leaders?" she barks. Her voice is harsh and it surprises her too but she doesn't care now. She takes in the expressions of the people around then just walks off.
