Everyone seems to have the feeling that this Grounder mission went well, and [...] it did, but I can't shake the feeling that we're walking on eggshells. They outnumber us. They have us surrounded. We're essentially trapped in here with limited means of expansion, and we're agreeing to play by their very strict rules. It's not like we have a choice, we're backed into a corner on this, but I'm just waiting for the day when one of our hunters makes a minor mistake in trading etiquette and it incites a massacre.
Out and about. I had to pull myself off you at some point.

Do you know if Lincoln knows where Polis is?
My mother wants me to handle peace negotiations with Lexa.
You all going to the ceremony today?
Thank you, for what you told me. It made me feel a bit less hopeless. Maybe somehow, here, I can do some good, too.
Unrelated, but how, precisely, are we dealing with the ~Severus~ situation? I've done my best to have a civil conversation with him and I think given the war we're all past the point of namecalling and pranks.But I've got a few creative hexes that I
I've a question for you.
Can you have a team ready to leave tomorrow to inspect the dropship?ERIK LEHNSHERR:
I may have a project for you, if you're interested.
After the battle this weekend, several of our people have been bitten which means they will transform into werewolves. None of them want to hurt people or cause a repeat of what happened over the last few months, so we're looking into a place to contain them for that one night. Some place away from the general population so that if they do manage to get loose, we won't have a repeat of the werewolf being in close proximity to the civilian population.
The place we are researching to see if it will work has a whole blasted in the upper deck. Your expertise and skills with metal would be immeasurable.
My dearest Lucy,
How is it that, with a mere stroke of the pen, I conjure your knowing face? When I, clutching my bowstring and sighting down the length of an arrow, caught myself a wolf by the ruff I thought of that terrible night in which we watched Jadis sacrifice Aslan for Edmund, for her own gains, for the ridicule and entertainment of the hordes upon the stone table. I remember the glinting eyes of the wolves. I remember their mournful howls and the way each and every one pierced my heart.
Then I remember crossing the river, I remember feeling the ice crack beneath our boots and I recall the teeth which snapped at your heels in Aslan's camp. I remember wolves and war. And I remember when you, given your cordial, were meant to stay back behind the line. I remember that mad twinkle in the old man's eye when he named you Healer. You were called even then, were you not? You were set apart from the lot of us for your faith and yes, that was what Aslan recognised when he named you valiant.
But the wolves, Lucy. I had given myself to the understanding that this world was not as absolutist as our world when I stared at my own mortality. I knew that I could simply snap my fingers and the river might swallow me whole if I was to be forever sundered from Aslan's gaze. Wolf teeth, then, would be a kindness, would it not? Wolves in the place of lions.
Lucy, I had my mind set in knowing that Aslan did not love me. For it was into you, into Edmund and into Peter he poured his affection and his own special faith. I am still not convinced that Aslan loves me. I am not convinced that I love myself - or that I am quite deserving of love, in fact - but to that end, I suppose the only thing that will answer me is time.
Time and more arrows.
Your sister,
Susan
Now that our wayward guards are home covered in wolf bites, we have another four weeks to decide what the hell we're going to do with them. Do we have enough pods to lock them all away on the full moon? Are they all willing to even do that?

Today was the dedication of the memorial garden. Everyone was invited to attend. At the gate to the garden, large flats of flowers were available. People can either take one, put it in a pot, and keep it with them, or plant it themselves after the dedication. One section of the garden was purposefully left unfinished for today. There was a moment of silence for those no longer with them in whatever way. In an attempt to incorporate as much of the recent history of the world as possible, those Sky People and Grounders that have died were named, as well as all of those who have died since the Pod People started arriving.
After that, the floor was open to people to speak, sing, recite poetry, or anything they can think of. Neville began with himself, which I'll detail in a comment, and then he asked Chancellor Griffin to speak, and Steve Rogers and Asala Adaar. After that, he would ask that people take turns and be courteous.
The dedication ended with the planting of the flowers in the garden, with the farmers helping people individually, as well as anyone who has experience gardening.
The chancellor wanted to talk to me about Clarke, since we live together and spend a lot of time together.
She's asking me how I feel about Clarke.
