The meeting hall is dense with unsaid things. Lexa stands like a statue before Clarke, her green eyes glacial as she shuts down the evacuation plan. She turns toward the war-scarred table, then back, hurling a bundle of rough clothing at Clarke. "We vanish," she orders, her voice leaving no room. When Clarke brings up Bellamy, pleading for patience, Lexa’s stare drills into her, stripping away all pretense. "Yield a skirmish to claim the greater war," she declares, each word a hammer-blow. She pays no heed to Clarke’s rising shouts. Instead, she steps forward, invading Clarke’s space, her presence a wall of deliberate intimidation. "War consumes the weak. Wield the strength you hide. We move."
