We'll see them again. We'll go back to our world and bring everyone home, and- Then we get to figure out how to all live together again with the Arkers.
( she's confident about it. she is. she refuses to think that they won't go back, that they won't return home to their people. )

After being here, dealing with the Ark suddenly feels ten times easier.
[He says it lightly, but he kind of means it too. It does feel easier, in some ways. Like whenever they get back, he's more ready than ever.]
But yeah. We will. [There is isn't another option.]

It would be if we could keep our magic if we went home.
( part of her is sad to think about it, about leaving this place and all their friends; the alternative is never seeing their people again, though. Clarke wonders if she'd ever be able to make the decision and choose between the two; she's sure she can't.
but that's a conversation for another day; for now, she's going to huff out a sigh and finally pick up her pencil again. )
Okay, hanging up now, stop distracting me from homework. ( Clarke. you called him. )

I'd take that.
[If their lives are going to extend, they might as well reap the magical beneficial side too. It would make the Earth much more survivable.]
[He almost switches to video, just so she can see the look he wants to give, but there's a small grin on his face instead.]
Maybe next time don't call me first looking for one.

Shut up, you liked the impromptu call from your wife.
( which gets another laugh out of her, considerably softer this time. )
See you tonight, Bell. ( -and once he says goodbye as well, she'll disconnect. )

[ she almost waves that off, because she doesn't think she wants anything from it. but eh, maybe she does. if this is step one to moving up the ranks, that's something she needs to have proof of, in whatever way. it's weird thinking about it though, and it's entirely because the offer is coming from her brother ]
You don't have to bribe me. I already said yes, didn't I? [ she grins, but then she nods again, her expression a little more sincere ] Thanks though, Bell. This means a lot.

It's not a bribe. Everyone usually gets some kinda reward at the end. [A beat, before he grins.] Maybe like, half a bribe.
[And his smile softens with the look on her face.] Sorry it's not the most exciting for you, but - I'm glad you came to me. You'll kick ass, even if the actual ass-kicking is minimal.

[ there's an imp waiting for Bellamy at Diasbale. the imp, who's a little skittish, is humming Bad Blood beneath his breath. he fumbles with the letter between his fingers before looking him up and down. he hands it to him slowly, the envelope sealed with a rune.
when Bellamy takes it he squawks and runs off. ]

Bell-a-my—
Hello! Insert proper greetings here!
Consider this your up-to-date coverage of Blank & the Blankerer. After using my detective skills, I've found a few things at the University that have suddenly become far more interesting than first intended. Instructions on a summon, blackened and torn and left for embers in one of the library fireplaces. It would've been toast if I didn't find it. I reconstructed it—briefly—but enough. I have them for your review, but for security purposes, I've not included them. No offense, of course. I'm sure you're perfectly capable of keepingblankssecrets. As far as who it belonged to, I couldn't say.
There was also a curious individual (a certain thief) that I found attending the Midnight Court. She's quite the fan, or rather, follower of the Blank. I followed her to Daonna on a super secret mission. It worked out swimmingly—well, mostly. It seems that to summon the Blank, you need to offer payment in the form of secrets, and you can take a guess as to what's not a secret anymore when someone's there to hear it.
Regardless, I have enough infos to find them for myself. The Blank & the Blankerer, that is.
If you'd like the rest, I'll be happy to share, but you'll have to treat me to coffee.
HUGS -L

( she finishes speaking with Hiro the night before, but waits until morning to bring it up with Bellamy. after all, by the time she drags herself home from the library, it's far too late to try and talk about this.
she's snatching up a piece of toast, speaking before she actually manages to bite into it. )
I'm sending Hiro to look into the Glaschu riots. We can't both go, but I'd really appreciate it if you could go with him; I don't want him to do this alone.

( she can't even try to do voice right now, still too shaken to make the attempt, and video would be just as useless, so- )
I had the vision again from February.
Things were worse this time.

[He flips the egg he's frying, glancing over his shoulder at her. He'd been wanting to get over to look into the Glaschu riots anyway, but he's a little surprised she's sending Hiro.]
Like I'm going to say no and let him go by himself. [Egg finished and sandwiched.] We wanted to go soon anyway. Does he know I'm joining him yet?

Yeah, I let him know last night I'd be asking you to go.
( toast in mouth! she finishes chewing and swallowing before trying to speak again. )
I need to go to school. You'll call him? I think he needs to take his mind off things. ( implying that maybe Bellamy should try talking to him about it, without saying as much. )

[Another time (too long ago to even count, at this point), he might have been annoyed at her presumption to send him off without checking first, but he'd probably have offered to go even if she didn't ask, and he doesn't honestly care.]
[So he just offers a nod, biting into his own breakfast. He does not swallow it all before speaking up, but at least it's mostly gone.] Yeah, I'll go see him, if I need to. This trip can't be taken lightly, so we'll need a little time to plan it.
[Then he holds up the plate and steps in for a one-armed hug, customary before she heads out to school for the day.]

I know. Let me know if you need anything, okay? Either of you.
( she ducks in quickly for the hug, leaning into him for a moment before she's already darting away to grab her bag and hoist it across her chest. )
I'll see you tonight. ( and, with that, she teleports away to class. )

People had their visions of the Godswar and look at where we are now? That happened in early winter and now it's summer and we're in the midst of it.
We dreamed of this in February, and now it's come back again. It's happening soon, Bellamy, I'm sure of it.

[ John is only knocking because he doesn't want to get assaulted while holding a kitten.
P.S. he's holding a kitten.
Open the door pls. ]

[They do get more visitors than they used to, but it doesn't stop Bellamy from staring at the door for a few seconds before he goes over to open it.]
[Where he's greeted by John, holding a kitten. Rhea prances over immediately, recognizing the smell of him, but Bellamy keeps her back in behind him.] What the hell is that?
[That's not how you say "hello."]

A kitten.
[ Obviously. John greets Rhea as best he can without contact, hushing the kitten, who's begun mewing pitifully at the idea of a Big Dog. ]
Can I come in?

It got separated from its mother a few days ago.
[ John hushes both Rhea and the kitten, offering the dog a hand so she can sniff him. Don't mind him just speaking Dog for a bit, Bellamy. ]

( her voice is barely a whisper, and Bellamy is close enough to her to know that she's crying. )
Can you come home? ( a sniff, and Clarke purses her lips tightly to swallow back a noise. ) Can you please just come home?

Left for Bellamy in the living room is a large rectangular package; he's familiar enough with her painting now that it won't be hard for him to guess that it's a canvas, wrapped in plain brown paper. There is a small note affixed to the front of the package:Happy Birthday, Bell. Octavia helped with it, you should probably make sure you thank her extra.Once unwrapped, Bellamy will find a family portrait with himself, Octavia, and their mother. Bellamy and Octavia both reflect their current ages, while their mother continues to look the same she had back when she was alive. Aurora sits at the forefront, Bellamy behind one shoulder, Octavia at the other; Bellamy's arm rests around Octavia. Everyone is smiling.
I know it might be too much; I promise I won't be upset if you decide not to hang it.
