A/N: So I realize now that saying that I'd post on Pride day was a bit mistake haha, it was so amazing and seriously guys, if you've never been to Pride then you need to go to one, it's my favorite day of the year :) Anyway, hope you enjoy guys! Love you all xxx

All of Floukru was seated in what must have usually been used as the main meeting hall, occupying long tables that stretched the full length of the rooms with wooden benches lining each side for them to sit at. At the top of the room was a raised platform with a smaller table on, with a chair in the centre that was usually Luna's.

Today though, that chair had been left for Lexa, Luna sat on the left side of it with a space left empty for Clarke on the right.

Everyone was already present and sat down but Lexa and Clarke were still to arrive, the people all waiting patiently for the Commander and her wife before they started eating.

Because of the nature of the feast, they were all dressed in their best clothes. Luna had offered those that had travelled with Lexa multiple choices for what to wear as they hadn't anticipated needing anything when they had been packing for the trip.

Then, the guard on the door cleared his throat to get everyone's attention before gripping the handle of one of the doors, the guard on the other side grasping the other. Then they pulled them open to allow Lexa and Clarke to step into the room.

The two of them were clothed in beautiful dresses from Luna's own wardrobe, red and blue respectively so there was no illusions as to who they were. They had also had their hair done in a simplified version of their warrior braids that allowed their hair to fall more freely around their shoulders.

Lexa and Clarke smiled at each of the tables as they walked past, their arms linked and their faces bare of war paint.

They moved swiftly down the centre before taking their places, Clarke sitting down and Lexa remaining standing.

"We would like to thank all of Floukru for this feast. It is always a pleasure visiting your city and your hospitality is unmatched among the clans. A great deal of credit must go to Luna and her council of advisers for this." She smiled, turning to nod at the five of them who were taking up one side of the high table.

"Now, I'm sure that you would rather eat than listen to a speech." Lexa laughed lightly, before waving towards the food in front of them all, "So please begin."

Chatter instantly filled the hall as Floukru tucked into the meals in front of them, sitting down, Lexa looked at Luna, "Your people outdo themselves every time I am here my friend."

Luna grinned at her, "Well you give them such high praise, I'm sure they're just scared of disappointing you."

"Never, out of all the cities within my lands, Floukru's capitol is one of my favourites." Lexa smiled at her.

Luna's four advisors all looked between each other with smug grins on their faces.

Octavia and Lincoln were opposite Raven and Ontari and the latter couple seemed to be doing everything possible to pretend they were on their own little table.

"Are you two seriously sulking?" Octavia laughed at them, "They got you fair and square."

Raven scowled at her, "You might have this weird friendship with Lexa where closed doors are apparently meaningless, but we just want a little privacy when we're alone."

Ontari nodded, "Plus we looked like idiots when we were warning you all about their fight."

Clarke rolled her eyes, looking down the table at them, "What if we apologize? Will that make you feel better?"

Narrowing her eyes, Ontari looked past her at Lexa, "It will if Lexa does it." She said, keeping her voice low so no one else could hear.

Lexa met her gaze thoughtfully, tipping her head to the side, fully aware that Ontari knew exactly what she was asking from her. The Commander couldn't ever apologize for anything, that just wasn't their way. But Lexa?

Leaning past Clarke, who shuffled her chair back, Lexa lowered her voice to almost a whisper, "I apologize Ontari, we won't ever interrupt the two of you in your rooms again."

Eyes widening in surprise, Ontari nodded, "Ok then."

Smiling Lexa sat back up straight, picking up a hunk of bread from a platter in the centre of their table and picking it apart with her slender fingers before dipping it into her bowl of soup.

"So Luna," Clarke said, looking across Lexa, "How much of your food is made by you, and how much is brought in by trade?"

"We make most ourselves." Luna answered her, "But we get a lot of supplies from Polis that are what allow us to do so. That's how it all works, every year the clans come together to make trade agreements, and Lexa ensures that everyone keeps their word. All supplies go through the capitol."

Clarke looked at her with interest, "But Polis is in Trikru territory, what if a new Commander ascends and they're not from the Trikru? Do all the trade agreements go through a different city?"

Lexa shook her head, "Polis has been the capitol since the first Commander, and originally it was in Trikru territory. The third Commander was the first to not be from my clan, and he called a summit of all the clans and proposed a new land agreement. From then Polis was considered neutral territory, which worked because it is a central point and is bordered on three sides by different clans."

"Because of the trade routes, all the main roads into Polis are not affiliated with any clan, and the main one is known only as the Commander's road." Luna added.

"So anyone from any clan is welcome in Polis, because it really does belong to none of them?" Octavia asked, having been listening in on the conversation in fascination.

Lexa nodded at her, "Many still make the mistake of assuming it belongs to the Trikru but that's right. The only one who can block people from entering the capitol is me. And the rules of that land agreement ensure that I can't do it because of their clan alone."

Ontari swallowed quickly before joining in the discussion herself, "I always wondered how you managed to stay true to that law when tensions were highest between you and Nia. I don't think I could've done it."

Looking down at her plate for a moment, Lexa answered her softly, "No matter what Nia had done, her people were still relying on the capitol for vital supplies and those who were residing in the capitol were living peacefully. I would have been letting anger overtake my better judgement, which is the biggest mistake a Commander can make."

"Still…" Ontari trailed off.

Lexa cleared her throat slightly, "Do you remember what you told me in one of our very first lessons? The one where we discussed the choice I made at the mountain."

Ontari thought for a moment before she caught Lexa's eyes flick to Raven and she nodded quickly.

"It's a similar thing, sometimes we have to not take action when in reality that's all we want to do."

"What did you tell her?" Raven murmured to Ontari curiously.

Looking across at her girlfriend, Ontari sighed softly, "I promise I will tell you when I'm ready ok?"

Raven nodded quickly, "Of course, whenever you're ready to."

"Well," Luna grinned, pushing back her plate, "This has been a fascinating discussion and a lovely meal, but if you're all up to it, how about a real celebration."

Lexa chuckled, "You know this lot Luna, they're always up for a party."
