Rory has them divide and conquer. She directs Skaikru to help move the injured onto the caravan going back to camp. She splits the grounders not injured into helping move the wounded, and continuing to clear the rubble. Octavia, Lincoln, and herself head straight to the woods, to where she'd left Nova and Orion hiding in the bushes, whilst Atlas and Hali volunteer to stay with Marcus on Rory's behalf.
"Nova?" Rory calls out. "Orion?" she tries again, circling the area where she'd last seen them. "It's ok, it's just me. It's Aurora. You can come out now, it's safe."
The bushes in front of them start to shake and soon after, Orion's head with his broken glasses appears through the foliage. "Rory?" he timidly asks, creeping further out. As soon as he spots her, he pulls Nova out behind him, and they both charge at Rory, throwing their arms around her.
"Are you both ok? I'm so sorry I was gone so long," she says, hugging them back tightly. She lets them go and reaches into her pack, pulling out some supplies. "Here, you both need to drink and to eat."
They both nod their heads, taking the ration bars and water bottle from Rory. "Rory," Orion asks, glancing over at the others, "who are they?"
"I'm Octavia," Octavia sends him a big smile, trying to look as un-threatening as she possibly can, "Rory's best friend."
"Rory's sister," Rory corrects her. She reaches out and grabs Octavia's hand, squeezing it tightly before letting go, leaving Octavia's eyes full of unshed tears at her words. "And this is Lincoln," at the mention of his name, Lincoln sends them a big wave, "he's a really good friend of mine. He's also Octavia's boyfriend."
Both Orion and Nova sit quietly for a few seconds, munching away at the ration bar, sizing up the new arrivals. "You're Trikru?" Orion asks, spotting Lincoln's distinctive tattoos. It's not said with any disgust or malice, it's just Orion stating the facts he's deduced and Lincoln's grateful for that.
Lincoln nods. "Yes, I am."
"You look really strong," Nova mutters, "and handsome. He's very handsome, Octavia," she tells her, making both Octavia and Lincoln blush, before she carries on eating. "You look kind, too. Both of you do."
Orion nods in agreement, both arriving at the conclusion that the people stood in front of them are two that they can trust. He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose and looks up at them both, smiling brightly. "It's nice to meet you both."
Octavia smiles down at him. "Likewise."
"Rory?" Orion asks. "Are Nomon and Nontu ok? And Ani Hali and Onca Atlas?"
"They're all fine. Once you've finished those rations, we'll take you to them," Rory tells him. "The only reason they aren't here themselves, is because you," she points at Orion, "have a little sister."
Nova gasps, her mouth opening wide. "Ani Saska had the baby?" she asks. "This is so exciting!"
Orion smiles slightly, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes, too worried about his family to be excited. "Are they all-"
