❛ Why are you always so sad? ❜

        her  spine  immediately  turned  rigid. not enough for it to be noticeable to observing eyes but enough that her lungs and throat felt slightly tighter. there was no emotion to the commander. emotion opened the door to WEAKNESS and she could not afford to be weak. in order to best serve her people she must possess a clear mind, a rational mind. but beneath it all lexa felt. sometimes she felt so much she w o r r i e d she would not be able to keep it at bay. it had been the worst after costia. the heartache had been so fresh, perfect fuel for a FIRE that raged against walls still being constructed. it was easier now; she hadn’t had a choice but to become good at it. 

          but there moments, fleeting but strong, when feelings crawled to the surface, making small CRACKS in the mask in the form of watering eyes or shaky fingers. even afterwards the emotions those moments brought clung to her; sorrow most of all. no one could see that. if anyone did they would pounce on the weakness as they had before. lexa would not open herself up to w o u n d s again. she drew in a breath and spoke in an unwavering voice,          ❝  i’m not sad.  ❞

Kisses her forehead !

        the  feel  of  lips  pressing against her skin made her freeze, muscles tensing beneath skin for the gesture was both unexpected and foreign. lexa knew exactly the last person that had KISSED her forehead; the memory forever burned into her mind even though she pushed it away into the shadows as she did now that it threatened to resurface. lexa wouldn’t let herself think of her. green eyes blinked up at margaery, who was standing in front of her. the girl was a puzzle that was for sure. someone lexa NEVER believed she would get along with but had somehow marg had decided to practically g l u e herself to her side. she was far different from any friend lexa had ever had.

          for a moment green simply stared into brown, mind still trying to understand the reason behind the action. thankfully they were in private. otherwise the SOFTNESS that had unconsciously washed over lexa’s expression would have risked her tougher-than-you reputation. her head tilted slightly to the side.         ❝  what was that for?  ❞

❛ Why didn’t you just tell me? ❜ / from lyanna kom azgeda !

        ❝  tell  you?  ❞        venom  fell  from her tongue in the form of words, coated with HATRED as she stared upon the azgeda princess. she should shut it away; hatred could be as deadly as any emotion if it was granted too much p o w e r, but this personal hatred washed over her in powerful waves. the normally stoic mask of the commander wavered as her lip curled upwards into a snarl, showing her FANGS for a moment, and then calm returned as she drew in her next breath. green eyes, however, remained sharp. it was not loathing alone that made her wary of any of lyanna’s clan; their actions had PROVEN their true nature many times over.          ❝  why should i tell you anything?  ❞

❛ You know you aren’t allowed in here, right? ❜

        the  room  was  full  of objects unfamilar to the heda. metal, buttons, and bright lights that all possessed a meaning foreign to her but clearly skaikru understood what each meant. some of her people would look upon these contraptions with SUSPICION, and lexa certainly possessed that but there was curiosity as well. at the very least to understand what they were all capable of doing. if they could be dangerous she’d prefer to know that before they were possibly used a g a i n s t her people. the sound of a voice made her turn. her eyes quickly landed on raven.          ❝  we’re allies now. is skaikru in the habit of keeping SECRETS from their allies?  ❞

❛ Don’t you believe me? ❜

        of  course  she  did.  dangerous as it was she trusted clarke more than she should. if that was all that mattered than she wouldn’t even be here hesitating. however, it was her HEART that possessed the luxury of trusting blindly; her head must be more cautious. it must be what r u l e d her, especially now that her heart had grown more restless ever since she had met clarke. the last time she had let her heart possess even a fraction of control... no, she had swore not to make that MISTAKE again. she would not allowed weakness to taint her judgement.          ❝  it’s not that simple.  ❞

❛ You think I’m inclined to believe that? ❜

        ❝  you  are  wise  to  question it. ❞          deceit was an INFECTION that plagued this land. too many had attempted to steer her incorrectly in order to benefit themselves. had lexa not learned quickly than she would have been c r u s h e d by the khalasars long before her coalition had risen to POWER. believing in everything was nothing more than weakness, especially fatal when one could not see that the loveliest words were most often the most false. in a less formal setting she might have allowed a grin to tug at the corners of her mouth but standing before the mother of dragons lexa’s approval shone only in green hues.          ❝  regardless, i intend to PROVE my loyalty, khaleesi. not simply state it.  ❞

        sorrow  tugged  at  her  heart,  growing stronger the longer her mind dwelled on those lost, but burying her emotions came EASY to her. it was necessary. the heart, despite being unable to abandon it fully, distracted while the head saw without impediment. any capable leader must s e p a r a t e the two in order to effectively move forward, and lexa was certainly that.          ❝  the dead are gone.  ❞          voice was cool and unwavering.          ❝  there is no point in dwelling upon them.  ❞

        the  hair  on  the  back  of her neck stood on end, accompanied by an uneasy feeling trickling down her spine vertebrae by vertebrae. however there was no sign of fear on her face. she was still, CALM, in control of her emotions.          ❝  we’re out of time.  ❞

        lexa  possessed  not  an  ounce  of fondness for any azgeda member. a tolerance existed, for the good of her people, but internally hatred sparked at the sight of them, especially one who had worked so closely with its queen, fueled by loss still partly UNBURIED despite her best attempts to cast it aside. her head tilted slightly to the side, green eyes empty of emotion.          ❝  do you have an a n s w e r for me, echo kom azgeda?  ❞

        her  expression  was  unreadable  as  she looked over the maps and documents before her. it almost appeared that she wasn’t even aware of the other woman’s presence. not until she glanced upward, meeting her gaze.          ❝  i have to do this on my own.  ❞          the FIRMNESS that filled her words seemingly left no room for objections.

        fingers  drummed  against  the  table.  margaery’s room was far fancier than any room lexa had ever lived in, almost too fancy when the minimalistic aesthetic struck her as far more APPEALING, but she didn’t say anything. not that she could really interject when margaery was ranting rather impressively about an encounter she’d had at the last big gathering her family had attended. with every HORROR story the other girl told lexa found herself eternally grateful that she’d n e v e r been forced to attend one. at last, margaery paused, out of breath at last perhaps, and lexa seized the opportunity.          ❝  remind me again why you hang out with these people? you clearly HATE them.  ❞
