( she says it in earnest, because while Clarke doesn't necessarily doubt her talents, well- it's nice to have her ridiculous ability to be meticulous appreciated one way or another. )
I want you to keep it. I'm going to be one of the field medics, and... I need to know that the map is safe since it's one of our only ways out of this place if things go badly. ( she offers up a bit of a smile, as though to try and force some sort of humour into what she says next. the sincerity in her voice betrays her. ) Plus maybe you'll be a little less reckless if I make you hang onto it.
( which is the truth of it, really. she could easily hang onto the map, give it to Raven, hide it in her room. there are endless places she could stash it for safe keeping without giving the responsibility to Bellamy. but she knows him, she does. she remembers him during the battle at the drop ship and having to leave him behind -- Clarke can't do it again, and she's going to do whatever it takes to make sure she doesn't have to. )
