[ she isn't always so certain, faced with crippling self-doubt when no one else is looking. with a bolstered resolve, she is less prone to allowing that to wholly control her or for someone to manipulate and use that against her. she had been sure to say "can" and not "always."
the least they can do is hope for the best, and with all of them out of harm's way for now, she doesn't see the use in worrying so long and hard about these matters. his concerns are obviously valid, but she thinks his energies are better spent on other things, like helping octavia adjust. ]
It isn't the worst book to borrow from, I can assure you. :) I cannot make promises, but I think that you will be okay in the end.
[ for someone who hadn't understood why he'd had to keep having his sister a secret, bellamy's almost been taught how to simply worry over every situation. he'd had to make sure anything he said or did or even took or was seen carrying on the ark wouldn't raise suspicion. he's always been on alert, even when he hadn't had anything for octavia in his hands or a task from mom to fetch extra clothes or go to a woman in their section to grab some more food. he doesn't quite know how to turn it off. he doesn't know if he even can. ]
I guess I can only hope you're right about it all. I don't really know what to expect from this place anymore.
[ for talking to him, even though it's not her problem and shouldn't be her concern. she'd contacted him to show her excitement at octavia being back (he thinks) and he'd let it nosedive into his own worries about her returning to the city instead. ]

A funny thing, coming from me.
You ought to enjoy your time with her, in whatever time you have together.

Thanks, Elsa.

I hope she's able to get to know you this time.

You're welcome, Bellamy.
I hope I can know her too.
