cw: mizuki???? idk, cannibalism mention?
( and god, in that moment how she'd wanted to take him up on the offer made within the first month the two of them had met. this thought also strikes against a painful cord though, because it's been so long since she'd thought about the blue haired boy and his desperate need for orders that sound like justice. longer still since she'd thought about the complex web that connected him, jinx, ebalon, and venti. now doesn't feel like the time, but it's just another ragged emotion wound that's barely stitched over into scar tissue. just like all the others...
palamedes will always have beautiful, indescribably grey eyes. and the way he promises doom on anyone and anything that hurts her will always be incredibly hot, but it bottoms out as just endearing right now — too caught up in her own self flagellation to enjoy the mental image of pal ripping out hearts and blowing up glass. but circumstances and no good choices aside, the only person who'd earned that awful, blood-soaked reputation is herself.
he's being too kind to her.
clarke sniffs loudly. tears still gather and fall, and now comes the snot that she diligently tries to restrain. )
Maybe not all that I am, but she still rules me, Pal. Especially here. I can't just go back to being a stupid little girl who dreams about homesteading on Earth. ( she does not remember the farmer's almanac yet. ) We were dropped on a ship that runs off death, and I've absolutely imagined dozens of ways to kill the people I've met in case it ever became a necessity. I'm still thinking like this is a time of war, while half the people here are acting like it's a peacetime.
mizukiiiii
[And Palamedes allows himself the briefest moment to mourn Mizuki, who was odd, and slightly insane, and somehow terribly sweet. Whatever his faults, and he had some particularly strange faults, he had been a friend. He certainly had not deserved the fate of being turned into fuel for the Captain’s magic.
He exhales quietly and, for a moment, closes his eyes.] I don’t like it, either. I wish you could be the girl who dreamed about homesteading [the tiniest flicker of a smile—does she remember?] but none of us can go back to the past. Not to our childhoods, or Mount Weather, or Canaan House. We can only accept what happened, and acknowledge our part in it. Feeling sorry for yourself won’t help. The people you killed don’t deserve that, and neither do the people you saved.
And as for the present—we are at war, no matter what some people say. Whatever battles we may have gone looking for in the past, we were forced into this one. [He cups her face.] We need warriors, Clarke. We need strategists, and healers, and diplomats, too. Thank goodness you happen to be all of that and more.
