[She's already jumping to her feet even before he says that - people like you don't get to walk away - and though her stomach drops (no, no, Clarke said - she doesn't die, at least) she pushes forward on exhasperation and fumes alone.]
They did hold up their end of the deal with me! [Blurted out, sudden and loud enough that it echoes in the apartment and silences him. The next thing out of her mouth is one heavy exhale, like saying that took whatever energy and calmness was in her.]
Or - [Quiet as her voice may be, it's tense and angrier by the minute.] Maybe you're going to tell me I'm not a big enough sort of character that it's my end of the deal that got everyone -- [She presses her lips together, bites them both to keep quiet, because she doesn't brag, she just fixes things.
Then forces the rest out,] Everytime I talk to someone from our world they tell me our people get out safely out of Mount Weather and I think -- [She scrunches up her face, then forces the air out of her lungs, fast.]
We're not some dumb heroes in some dumb mythology book, if I want a second chance, I'll fucking make one for myself, so -- yes, I said yes, and I said I promised, but at least I got what I wanted out of it. I'm proof.
