The din light of the candles were lighting the bunker as Finn and Clarke were laying on the floor with the bedsheets wrapped around them. She was leaning on her elbows as she looked at him.

"Hey."

Finn said with a smile.

"Hi."

Clarke answered as she caressed his hair.

"It's probably dawn, we should get going. We can't just lay around in bed all day."

"Or we can lay around in bed all day."

Finn said as Clarke chuckled amused while her fingers played with the strands of his hair. A spark in her eyes as she was mesmerized by the atmosphere.
His hand was on her bare back as he traced lazy patterns.

"Finn, you know...last night wasn't just about needing someone to be with. I needed you. I wanted it to be you....You understand that, right?"

"Sure."

He smiles slightly as she looks at him.

"I should probably tell you that last night, for me...wasn't really about you."

Her expression slightly faded as he kept tracing lazy patterns on her bare back.

"Just wanted to have my first Earth sex."

He chuckles as Clarke laughs and buries her head into the pillow for a moment as she was clearly amused.

"You were around."

He says smirking.

"Passably cute."

"Jackass."

She says with a hint of amusement as she got on top of him and their lips connected once again. His hands finding her bare back roaming over it.

On the Ark, Abby was leaning her back against the wall as she had her knees to her chest and was sitting on the bed. Her hand found her mouth as she coughed when the cell door was opened and she turns her head to look as she sees chancellor Jaha entering with a case and a guard.

"Prisoner, step to the rear of the cell."

She stands up and looks at them.

"Have we heard from Raven?"

The guard looked at Jaha.

"You can leave us alone, sergent."

The guard nodded and exited the cell.

"Yes sir."

She looks at Jaha.

"Has Raven started her descent?"

She asked as Jaha gave her a tablet with statistics.

"Environmental numbers?"

"As of this morning, oxygen is down 16 percent. CO2 and menthane are heading to red levels."

"Our projections said that we wouldn't be critical for another three months."

Abby said looking at the statistics then up at him.

"Your husband's projections were wrong. The council has granted you work release pending review. Medical is overwhelmed. Dizziness, fatigue, vision problems.."

"It's pulmonary toxicity. I know how they feel."

She says putting the tablet away.
