She liked Matthias ( she liked most of the delinquents, to be fair, she was an equal oppurtunity friend to everyone in the dropship camp ) even though he seemed to lean more toward Clarke’s leadership than Bellamy’s- something she found odd but not unfathomable. Clarke was smart, she was sharp and in control. she had medical knowledge and she seemed to have a better idea of what was awaiting them down here than anyone else.
But she also lacked Bellamy’s charisma, or his devotion to the criminal kids. But Matthias was a smart kid too, and seemed to know as much as Clarke did about medical stuff, and she was interested to learn. “Hey, Matthias,” she greeted brightly. She’d seen him inspecting plants and knew from Earth Skills ( yes, she’d paid a little attention, so sue her ) that some were medically helpful and it was a perfect oppurtunity to offer to help him out. “Whatcha up to?”
