"Clarke, must you leave tonight? I insist you stay. My bed is yours I can prepare you new sheets, they had just been washed." Lexa says as they finish up dinner and begin to clean up after themselves.

"Do you really think I want to walk over a mile right now? Instead of stay here with you?" Clarke questions Lexa and is returned with a smile and a small shake of her head.

"I wouldn't put it past you Clarke, I've seen you in a much worse condition do far more challenging things." Lexa mentions and eyes Clarke while they are now walking into the cabin.

"That's not why I don't want to leave, I've missed you Lexa." Clarke says shyly and Lexa turns to her with a smile.

Madi is inside of the cabin knitting what seemed to be a blanket of some sort by hand. Clarke is now convinced the kid knows more than she does.

"Madi tend to the fire tonight we shall watch the stars," Lexa orders and Madi happily does as she's told leaving Clarke and Lexa to themselves in the cabin.

Madi seemed excited about watching the stars. They must do it often, Clarke thinks to herself.

"I have extra cloths here with me if you'd like to change." Lexa offers and Clarke nods.

"Luna had left a lot for us. Although I question her intentions.. I am glad I am not underground right now still in my position of commander. I must say I am happier now." Lexa admits as she pulls out a beautiful blue night gown for Clarke. One that is all too familiar to the blonde.

"How did you..." Clarke starts only to be cut off, "I had asked for her to raid your chambers in polis for cloths. If I could not have you, I wanted something that belonged to you." Lexa says and Clarke holds in her sob that's begging to come out.

Lexa has a way of making Clarke feel extremely vulnerable. After thinking Lexa was dead, to now standing before Clarke admitting what Lexa is now.. She is a whirlwind of emotions.

"I apologize if you missed anything because of me. I hadn't asked for my cloths in hopes you'd find comfort in them." Lexa says as Clarke takes ahold of the nightgown.

"Things got crazy after your death, or well what we thought was your death. A lot happened. I had kept what was said to be the flame but..." Clarke questions shaking her head. She doesn't know how to process anything right now.

"I'm sorry you had to carry that burden Clarke. I never meant to hurt you."

"I know." Clarke simply says and reaches for her arm gently caressing it with her thumb.

"I have thought of you everyday," Lexa tells her and Clarke's eyes now fill with tears unable to hide her feelings after hearing Lexa's voice crack from emotion.

"Me too" Is all Clarke manages to say.

"Please, join us outside when your finished changing." Lexa insists and Clarke nods her head walking into the small bathroom to rid herself from the cloths she had been wearing.

Lexa changed quickly before Clarke could finish and was outside sitting with madi on a chair.

Madi had been in Lexa's lap both of them looking up to the stars. Clarke watches as Lexa points up to them.

She makes her presence known by sitting in the chair that had been placed beside theirs. Lexa looks over at Clarke in her nightgown and brushed through hair and can't help but smile.

Clarke looks to her for only a few seconds before looking up at the stars.

The rest of the night was spent naming the stars. Apparently Madi had claimed her own star and named it sterling.
