The two Hedas introduce Rinta to their game of picking out new constellations in the sky together. Allowing this to take their friends' mind off the trauma she just talked through with them. It is only when they start to talk about heading back down to get their little bundle from Evlyn that the topic of conversation changes.

"Okay, not that I don't love your sleeping location or anything, Rinta..." Clarke finally voices frowning and looking over at the woman. "But like... you have an ENTIRE family down there who DOESN'T suck ass!" She voices as both women snort out in laughter. "Seriously... I would know. My mother's picture is RIGHT NEXT to that damn word in the dictionary." She mutters with wide eyes.

"Wait really?" Rinta exclaims in wonder.

"No. It's a figure of speech." Clarke huffs, rolling her eyes.

"What I think my wife means... Is to not forget those who love and care about you while in the midst of your grief. With Costia... I found out that letting others inside my pain helped for healing to occur. And keeping it to myself all those years... honestly, this just ended up hurting me more in the end. I may have been determined to learn this lesson the hard way. But Rinta, you don't have to. That is what biggasis's are for, so we can make the jok op's (fuck ups) and call back in warning for you to avoid it." Lexa smiles softly.

"Wow... Luna took a hell of a lot for you then huh?" Rinta smirks as Clarke cackles.

"Keryons... you have NO idea!" Lexa snorts in amusement helping Rinta up.

"I mean it's totally up to you Rinta. But it HAS to be better than this 'never sleeping and constantly working shit' you have going on." Clarke mutters with wide eyes.

"You knew about that?" Rinta asks, stunned.

"I did the exact same thing, with Costia... and my Nomi." Lexa shrugs.

"Same... well... up until Lex kidnapped me and dragged me back to Polis kicking and screaming." Clarke hums casually as Rinta's jaw drops and she looks back at the blonde and to the brunette in alarm.

"You forgot the spitting and cursing." Lexa smirks in amusement as Rinta looks at the blonde again. Only receiving a casual shrug as Lexa chuckles.

"Keryons... you left a HELL OF A LOT out when you first introduced me to her, Lex!" Rinta exhales trying to get her eyes to return to normal size again from her shock.

"Well... yea... Oh and not it on carrying the blonde back down..." Lexa mutters quietly, racing past quickly to the branch to climb down. A gasp of offense emits from Rinta right along with a loud cackle from Clarke.

"OH NO! I DID NOT MARRY HER! YOU DID!" Rinta exclaims as Lexa slides down the branch.

"SORRY! CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Lexa retorts smugly.

"Oh, come on. You can climb down with me in your damn sleep." Clarke smirks at Rinta. "Plus, on the way down I'll tell you about the time Lex almost..." The blonde whispers excitedly before a piercing shriek sounds below them.

"YOU WILL NOT CLARKE OLIVIA GRIFFIN!" Lexa shrills scrambling back up and pulling her wife away from Rinta. Muttering expletives, the whole way mind you... but it still has Rinta grinning at Clarke knowingly. The blonde simply mouths 'you're welcome,' to Rinta when Lexa isn't looking. "You did that on purpose!" Lexa hisses after hearing Rinta chortle past them on her climb down.

"You see... an adorable little toddler taught me how to be stingy on whom I choose to share my snuggles with." Clarke hums, laying her head on her wife's shoulder who is now grinning like an idiot. "Plus, I plan on rewarding you greatly for your efforts tonight." The blonde whispers in her wife's ear.
