 It had been two days since Clarke's infected cut had been found. Her fever had gone down slightly, but it was still there. She had slept mostly the first day afterwards. Lexa sat in a chair next to their bed, watching Clarke sleep peacefully. The blonde was curled up on her side; most of the cuts on her sides were healing nicely so she was able to lie on it comfortably. Every now and then Lexa would take a damp rag and brush it over Clarke's forehead, neck, and back. 

 She stood and looked at Clarke's back, lifting the shirt up carefully as to not wake her. She looked at the bandage wrap on her back; it would need to get changed again here soon. Lexa ran her fingers gently down the sleeping girl's back. She looked over the other slashes as well. Most of the were healing nicely, some would heal without scarring but the Sky Princess would have multiple scarring. Lexa frowned as she thought about it. When Lexa had first known Clarke the girl's skin was almost scar free. A few scars here and there, but for the most part it was smooth, perfect skin. Lexa would run her hands all over it, memorized by it. Unlike her own skin which was lined with scars upon scars from years of battling. Lexa stood back up from her leaning position over Clarke to find bright, blue eyes looking up at her. Lexa gave her a small warm smile.

 "Hey." Clarke said with a smile.

 "Greetings." Lexa said back, making Clarke grin. Lexa was so formal, even with the little things."How are you feeling?" 

 "Better, all this sleep is making me restless though." She said as she stretched a bit, wincing slightly.

 "Restless? I would think you would be restful." Lexa said, earning a playful eye roll from Clarke.

 "You know what I mean." Lexa chuckled. She understood. Clarke had been on strict bed rest for the past two weeks, but now that Clarke was feeling better she wanted to stretch her legs. 

 "I want to walk around." Clarke said, watching Lexa, whom opened her mouth o say she could. "And not just around the tent." Clarke interrupted her with a small glare. The last time she wished to walked around, Lexa insisted she stay in the tent and not go out. Lexa resisted the urge to roll her eyes, though she knew she couldn't keep the girl in there forever. Although she tried.

 "Fine, but I will accompany you." Lexa stated. Clarke shrugged, she figured as much. Lexa helped her stand up; Clarke was still a bit shaky every now and then. Together they made their way outside, Lexa stepping close incase the Sky girl needed her. Clarke smiled as she glanced around the camp. There was people bustling about, some working and others talking.

  "Clarke!" Clarke heard a small shout come from their right before she was slammed into a small body, it was Monroe. 

 "Hey." Clarke greeted around a small wince. She glanced at Lexa, she looked like she wanted to tear the smaller girl off of Clarke.

 "Oh sorry." Monroe said as she saw Clarke wince and stepped back. "Just really glad you're doing better." 

 "Thanks, glad to be feeling better." Clarke smiled.

 "Bellamy, Raven, Octavia, Monty, and Jasper are all eating lunch across camp." She informed her. 

 "I'm sure they'll be happy to hear you're up and running.""I wouldn't say I was running." Clarke said with a chuckle.
