May we (never) meet again

Chapter 2- Emerald green

The brunnete was absolutely speachless, her breath seemed stucked in her throat. She looked like she was in some kind of transe, her body completely frozen. Her emerald green eyes were staring into the most beatiful blue she ever saw. Even her favorite pond in Trikru, which was also her secret place that she ran to when world was a little bit too much for her, couldn't cope with these shades of blue. It looked almost ethereal, like their owner wasn't even from earth.

Oh god, their owner. Lexa finally shifted her gaze and took the person in front of her entirely. The first thing she noticed was the stranger's long, wavy blond hair, which was loosely dropped down on the blond's shoulders, with a little braid on the right side. The strangers hair reminded Lexa of gold, especially of her mother's necklace, which was made out of a pure gold and shaped in the form of infinity symbol. It always shined in the sun, just like the blond's hair.

The next thing was the woman's curves, even though she would never admit it to anyone without torture, the light blue dress definitely did the blond's body justice. They were long and loose enough to look elegant, but still huged her body perfectly and also point up her eyes more. Not that anyone could really miss them.

Even with just the moon shining above them, the Princess could see that the blond in front of her was really atractive.

Lexa's staring was cut short, when her brain registred that the stranger was trying to talk to her, and she slightly shook her head to ger herself out of the trans completely. She flushed with embarrassment, that she was caught staring but couldn't bring herself to avert her gaze from the other women.

"Not much of a talker, huh?" The blonde said with a soft voice and light smile, that was playing on her light pink lips, not that Lexa was looking on her lips, of course. "I don't mind, I can still work with that." Something mysterious sparked in her blue eyes for a second, before it disappeared again.

The Princess blinked once, then twice, before she finally took the woman's words into her head. "I'm... sorry?" She said shakily before the brunnete gain her confidence back again, and her expression turned into a light frown. She narrowed her green eyes and put the glass, that was still in her hand, on the little wood table next to her.

"No, I'm not sorry. Who even are you, and what are you doing here? Why aren't you dancing or whispering with the others in the ball room? This is supposed to be my place." The brunette said with a sharp edge in her voice, that most of the time was enough to turn away everyone from her, and took a small step closer to the blond.

"I could ask you the same thing..." The blond's smile widened a little bit more, her voice still so soft and light, way more than it should be, in this kind of situation. "But you know what, I won't." With that, she took a few steps forward to the end of the balcony, and leand her hands on the top of the railing, while she absolutely ignored the brunette's other questions.

"You're hiding here, which is quite ironic by the way." Lexa was ready to answer her with something not very nice, but the the other woman spoke, before she could even think of her answer. "Isn't this supposed to be one of you's birthday balls? It's you, who should be in there, celebrating with all of your people, dancing, drinking and having fun."

"But I get it. Being a Princess could be really hard sometimes..." The blonde sligtly chuckled and turned her gaze to the garden, below the balcony. "Not that I could know anything about that, of course. Hard day?"

Lexa was surprised, and once again, she found herself absolutely speachless, because of her blonde companion, for a moment. She shook her head and did the same thing as the blonde before her. Took a few steps to the railing and leaned on top of it. Close enough that she could still smell her scent, but not enough to disrupt her companion's personal space.

"You could say that..." The brunette's voice stopped for a second, just so that she could get a chance to gather her thoughts a little. Why was she even talking to the strange women next to her? She had no idea. But something... something about her, just seemed familiar, like she knew her for much longer than a few minutes.

"Queen Nia is threatening with war, once again and we really can't afford that right now. The clan's coalition between the 11th clans is not in the best shape for a long time, much longer than we all thought..." Lexa sighed and ran her hand through her hair. "The winter is coming really soon, according to the last years statistics from our council, we have only about a half of the food we need for everyone to comfortably survive the next few months, the birth rates are coming down just like the numbers of animals, that we can still hunt in our forests without crossing any borthers, and-"

She bented her head in frustration, and maybe a little bit of embarrassment, when she noticed that the blond was looking at her with a slight smirk on her face. "I don't even know, why I'm telling you that. You're a stranger, who knows, maybe you're a scout from Ice nation, that was send to kill me or collect informations."

The blond wasn't offended with it, like the princess thought, she seemed rather more than a little amused with Lexa's rambeling more than anything else.

"Then we need to get to know each other, don't we? I'm..." She cut herself short for a moment, like she was searching for the right answer in her mind before she smiled lightly again.

"Clarke kom Arkadia, it's pleasure to meet you, Princess Alexandria kom Trikru."
