“Rest for a moment.” she told the warrior, holding up a hand to stop what she was sure to be a disagreement coming from the younger woman. “That is an order.. You have done well, Okteivia. Now rest.. I will watch over you.” 

        Lincoln stepped off his motorcycle and walked up to the gym. He doesn’t usually show up at this time but he figured he would surprise his sister, Indra. Well-- She wasn’t his sister by any formal relation but they did grow up together and that was what they saw each other as. His tough as nails older sister had a lot training to do today so he grabbed a few extra protein shakes on his way out the door. 

        He spotted her in the ring, training someone. He leaned against the floorboards for a bit and watched them move. Seeing Indra fight has always been like poetry in motion, but this woman sparing her seemed to sing the same tune. Matching her step for step. It was rare for Lincoln to see his sister get bested but it always made him laugh and his chuckle must have brought her out of her daze. 

               ❝Indra. I brought you a shake. And if your partner wants one too I can offer her one. Vanilla.❞

Even if there was some tension between her and the younger girl, Lexa didn’t let it bother her. She sat across from Octavia, observing her for a moment. She knew little of the sky people and there ways and allowed her curiosity get the better of her. “Were you raised a warrior, up in the sky?”

        She squeezed him tight, her smile only turning cheeky at his conditions. “Helmet— yes. Speed limit…” Octavia made a playful sound of uncertainty, shrugging her shoulders.

“Okay, sure.” She could sneak extra rations on her way out of camp, no problem. The tricky part was getting away without the guard, her friends, or Bellamy detaining her. Octavia watched his retreat into the dark shadows of his hideaway a moment before going her own way.

He waited for as long as he could before Lincoln found himself heading back towards her. After the time they’d already spent apart, every extra second was torture.       “Took your time.” He said with a smile as he saw her, she’d only just left camp.
