He didn’t expect to see her here. John knew why he was leaving, he knew that he was still hated and viewed as a traitor and a coward among the survivors. But what he didn’t know was that Kimber would be joining him when he told her where Jaha’s followers would be meeting for the defection. John stepped closer, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth as he looked at her. “Being a rebel suits you.”

Shay had ridden out with a small contingent of warriors with naught but saddlebags full of tools, and a heavy fur wrapped around her body to ward off what she viewed as a constant chill.  Since Lexa had accepted the Skaikru into the coalition—and their subsequent turning of the small blacksmith from Reaper back to Trikru—things had been a little in flux.  But one thing that everyone could agree on was that Skaikru weren’t builders so much as they were reliant upon their tek.  In a way that was just like the Mountain Men, enough that it sent chills down Shay’s spine when she thought about it for too long.

But that had been more than a week ago, and Shay had settled in with their people, building and creating a forge so they could have a level of security beyond a few metal ropes and tek.  If nothing else, solid walls would do them good, but those required fitted pieces and working parts.  Thus, why Shay had found herself living in a moderately sized tent at Arkadia instead of her small hut attached to her forge in Polis.

The ebon-haired blacksmith was observant—maybe not as observant as a warrior, but all of their people were just as a survival precaution—and she’d noticed that one of the perimeter guards seemed to have no time to sleep, considering she was almost constantly working.  Something that Shay knew to be beyond dangerous if left alone for any length of time.

So she’d walked herself up while the young woman was on what the blacksmith knew to be a redundant patrol (and having overheard one of the other guards actually relieve her) and reached out to grasp her shoulder, gently tugging her away from her route and toward her own tent home.

Send 😘 for my muse’s honest opinion about your muse: 

Them as a person : He has yet to figure that out. From what he’s heard about her he thinks she’s got the right idea and cares more about people than the idiots that had been running things on The Ark. However, his encounter with her made him view her as reckless which he has yet to decide if that is good or bad. 

Level of attractiveness : Murphy doesn’t like the whole scale system. But let’s just say he finds her extremely fun to look at. Of course, he wouldn’t say so (at least not yet). 

What annoys them most : As of right now, her recklessness. He’s already thinking that she got herself (and just as importantly HIM) in a sticky situation and he doesn’t like complicated when surviving is difficult enough. 

What they like the most : Her genuine desire to help. Again, he’s heard stories of who she was and that kind of thing is a lot of what’s buried deep inside Murphy himself (you know, beneath all the self-loathing and his current need for self-preservation). 

What they’d do if they were locked in a closet together for 4 hours : Likely, Murphy would argue with her about how it’s her fault for a good chunk of that time. Then after he wears himself out, he’d be forced to acknowledge the fact that she’s attractive and.. well, he’d likely do something on impulse that would either get him punched or would end well for both of them. 

Overall opinion : Interesting person and someone he would like to be able to at least call friend one day.
