[ it's easier to think o had gone home the first time out of her desire to keep him safe and to ensure lincoln wasn't doing anything stupid. it's the way he's had to rationalise it — bellamy's safer in a city that has him held far, far away from trouble, while lincoln's with a group of people who simply don't get him. he wants to believe octavia had wanted to leave due to her own anxiety over lincoln than her desire to be far away from this city due to an uncomfortable feeling it may have given her. they didn't keep secrets from one another — he didn't want that tot be them anymore. ]
Your people ever think punishing someone who spoke up made you look even weaker? Makes you look like you have something to hide. [ in hindsight, that's how the situation with gustus had read to him. the alliance was already on shaky ground; the grounders inability to place their trust in the sky people had bellamy unwilling to cooperate as easily as clarke. ]
I guess it's a good thing these guys can walk on the grass without being poisoned. [ which means they'd be more difficult to disarm, if they're anything like cage wallace and his men. bellamy sighs. ] I think the secret underground lair these guys would have is for people who really like to hug. Shove all the freaks in one place.
I've made them look weaker. I should be dead. [It's a simple matter of fact. The only reason he lives is because of Clarke and her mother. To kill him after his return from being a reaper would be ill-advised, given what he stands for. The Sky People had protected him and given him shelter in the wake of everything, and he knows that he could just as easily still be killed for his numerous betrayals.
It is almost pure luck that he isn't dead now. And it's luck that keeps Bellamy from killing him for his different betrayal, though Lincoln still thinks he would be within his rights to do so. Time has passed for Bellamy, though, if this conversation tells him anything.]
If they did have a lair like that, it would only be out of desperation. But then again, perhaps there would still be willing participants, all hoping to help. [Which isn't to say he deems that a good thing. Cynicism is clear in his tone, as he knows that desperate measures means that what help is offered is still somewhat forced out of the person in question.]
