( the pulse in his wrist is very apparent, but with it keeping a little distance, she continues to breathe, continues to focus, and nods. ) It's okay. ( there's a moment of quiet, considering. ) Just- I'll just need you to ask before touching me for a little while, until I figure this out. Anywhere that would put me close to your pulse. So your wrists, or your neck.
( another deep breath is taken, Clarke calming even further. ) It won't be like this forever, I just need to get better at it. ( she's trying to give herself leeway, knowing it's only been a day, but it's difficult to not be hard on herself about it; she wants to have better control than this. )
