"His pulse is thready," she stated after a while. Jasper groaned loudly again, in agonising pain. Not many people sympathised with him, though. Hence, the yelling to shut him up from the outside. They were all sleeping below the second level, meaning they could hear everything.

"Quiet!" someone yelled form down the bottom. Maggie leaned her head over the open hatch.

"Right now, you're making more noise than him. Give me a valid reason for your disturbance, and maybe we'll consider your request. Got it?" she called. She had enough. Silence was carried throughout the drop ship. "Good. Thank you."

"Don't listen to them." Clarke leaned over Jasper's form, stroking his forehead. "You're gonna make it through this, okay? I promise."

"Would you just die already?" That was the statement that sent Magnolia whirling to the hatch. 

"Maggie, no! Violence isn't the answer!" Monty tried to stop her. She looked at him, half-in and half-out.

"I know. Violence is the question. And the answer is mostly yes!" With that, she made another move to descend the ladder, but Clarke caught her arm. Pits of fire met swarming seas, and Maggie tried to calm herself down, breathing in through her nose and out through her mouth.

"You don't listen to them either, alright? Jasper needs you here, not burying the body of someone who 'suffocated in their sleep'," Clarke reassured. Maggie looked at the sweating boy and nodded, climbing back up to the high level. Clarke then started descending the ladder.

"I'm gonna get clean water. Keep an eye on him," she addressed both Maggie and Monty, both of whom were faithful watch guards keeping and eye on the wounded prince. Another story from Maggie's childhood. Jasper continued to groan in pain, earning more shouts from people below and outside.

He kept groaning all through the night and well into the next morning when Magnolia finally went outside to stretch her legs, humming a tune.

"There once was a ship that put to sea, the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea..." she sang quietly, cracking her stiff bones with many pops. She stretched a little too far backwards, nearly falling over because of her loss of balance. Instead of doing anything, she simply went back to the butterfly clearing, hoping to see her insect friend. And she did. Grinning, she sat down, Artemis immediately coming to her as though greeting an old friend.

"Hello, my love. How have you fared?" she spoke in a fake posh accent. She giggled a little bit after that, at the silliness of it. Artemis crawled around on her arm for a minute before flying off to be with its other butterfly friends. Maggie watched it play and flutter around until she could no longer pinpoint which butterfly was hers. She watched the butterflies interact with one another, dancing around and loving their home. It was then that she thought she had stretched her legs enough, going back to the drop ship to continue to help Clarke tend to Jasper.
