Clarke
Clarke followed Raven into the dropship, scrap metal and wooden crates were stacked upon a makeshift table one of the delinquents made. She pushed all the rubbish aside and pulled over a tool box that came with the little supplies given to them.

"We don't have much to work with so i hope this is enough. There's a screwdriver, wrench, pliers and a couple screws. Wells and Fox have been going out on supply trips to underground bunkers they've discovered to try and get more things but we haven't had much success." She pushed the red box over to Raven who took a seat and immediately started picking away at the radio.

"Normally i would need more than that but its better than nothing, years as a mechanic have really payed off and taught me you dont need a lot to fix things... just the knowledge." Raven bit the inside of her lip, studding and clipping wires that sprung out the electronic.

Clarke watched in awe at how focused and easily Raven seemed to be able to do that. She was thankful Raven had crashed on earth even after the unfortunate events with Finn.

Clarke slid over a chair and sat next to Raven, passing nuts and bolts, and tools she needed. The girls weren't sure how long it had been since they started working on the radio but they would smell the aroma of firewood and cooking meat, signifying Bellamy and the others were back.

Clarke suggested they have a quick break but Raven was determined on getting the radio completed before morning. With that, Clarke accompanied Raven, skipping dinner and continuing with the handy work.

A couple minutes of silence passed before Clarke started getting dreary, Raven noticing.

"You really like him, huh?" The dark haired girl snickered, her eyes flickering over to Clarke for a split second.

"Excuse me?" Clarke was taken aback, her and Raven hadn't really gotten along in the few hours of them meeting, though they rarely said a word that wasn't work related.

"Bellamy. I see the way he looks at you and no doubt the way you look at him, so why dont you tell me about him. I mean, we have nothing else to do." Raven smirked.

"We knew eachother back on the Ark... quite well actually." Clarke felt all jidey at the memories of them back on the Ark. She was so excited to start a life with Bellamy but then the good turned to bad and life flipped upside down.

"Continue on, i dont want the boring details here." Raven hummed. Clarke wasn't sure she wanted to spill her life to this stranger, they barley just met and she was already asking about personal information. None the less, Clarke persisted.

"Well, he found me when i was in desperate times and he kind of took me in and looked after me. Listen Raven, my life is a huge mess and i cant really explain it all in one sitting... so if we could continue this conversation another day..." She muttered trying to sound polite at the same time. Raven chuckled from beside her, the brown ponytail she had worn that day, messily sprawled out across her shoulders.

"No no, i get it. I probably shouldn't have asked that but its so hard to contain myself when you guys remind me of Finn and I." Clarke felt her chest tighten at the mention of Finns name. Guilt coursed through her veins as she recollected the memories of the times Finn tried to flirt with her.

Clarke wasn't sure wether she should tell Raven about it or not, of course it would be the right thing to do but there was so many possibilities she hadn't covered. What if Finn wasn't flirting and it was just harmless fun, or what if when she told Raven, Raven would hate Clarke and the last thing she wanted was to create hatred.

"Raven there's something i need to tell you. About Finn." Clarke decided to follow her gut rather than her head. Raven hummed in response.
"
"Finn... he was flirting with me before you arrived. I dont want to create rivalry between anyone so if you got that idea from me telling you this, its wrong. I just thought you should know incase he tried this again with anyone else." Clarke twiddled with her thumbs, her eyes glued to Raven as she waited for a response.

"You're radio's done." That was all Raven said in response to Clarkes confession. Clarke was confused, did she not hear what she said?

"Did you hear-"

"Yes Clarke, i heard you but I don't want to talk about it... at least not right now." Raven interrupted, fire laced her words. Clarke nodded and grabbed the radio which Raven had slid over to her.

"Ill get Monty, he should be able to help set it up somewhere." Clarke announced before walking out the drop-ship and leaving Raven to sit in silence.
