He knew that… N o w… After his whole plan nearly took his life. He had played with a fire that might’ve been a tad bit too big for what he wanted to achieve… And yes, he regretted decisions made… But he also believed he had done the best he could with the hand that was given to him… Brows furrowed, he let the tip of his finger move over the edge of the glass before him, lips pursed into a thin line and a slow nod being given.
“ Too bad, you and I know I’m pretty damn good with chaos and bloodshed. “ he finally spoke wryly, a bitter smile touching at his lips momentarily before he looked over at her. “ … What if they were right. What if this is all we know what to do? Monty told us to be the good guys but… “ he trailed off, glancing to the side.
she could see the bitter smile touching his lips, but still. raven didn’t like the words he spoke of. “we both know you’re more than that.” she murmurs. they were all more than that. she just wished they could all see that. “it’s not.” she tells him, her voice louder now, more stern but her eyes were just as stern as she stared at him. “then be the good guys. it’s not hard. we just got to stop taking other people’s homes, and start building our own.” of course she knew it wasn’t that simple, but they had the people, they could do the work. they just needed to stop looking at other people’s places, and wanting that for themselves. “we’ve got to stop conquering people for their places. start building our own. a planet is big enough for us to build our own place, to have our own rules you know?” she says, her eyes glancing over at clarke and the rest of them before she was looking to murphy once more. “i know that it’s only words, because who listens to us, right? it’s easier to start wars than to talk peace and actually stick to it.” she breathes out to him, her eyes then glancing to her wife. she wouldn’t let harm to come to her, she wouldn’t follow clarke and the rest of them into a war. not while she had luna by her side. she promised her, on the ring, and she would keep that promise. “if you want chaos and bloodshed, you know how to get it, murphy. just follow the two who bring it to us, and you’ll get what you wish for.”
