It depends on why they're imprisoned. And who is to say the world going on as it should have before is not of use to them? They cannot draw people from worlds if those worlds break down.
All of this is beyond the point, which is that no ill will come of you being yourself in this place. No one cares, Ren, save for you.
if anyone knew, back home, it would be the end of me
im not sayin that's right but im sayin its a fact
if you're lookin for someone who knows how to deal with this shit, you're lookin in the wrong direction, i already warned you i fuck everything like this up
[It's like talking to a brick wall, sweet Becca why.]
They will not know Ren. I promise you. If I thought for a second anyone back home would find out I certainly wouldn't fuck anyone. Ever.
I know you don't know how to deal with shit which is why I'm bothering to explain, though I realise most of this is going in one ear and swiftly out the other because you are panicked about your family knowing you're into women even though you're also into, and willing, apparently, to be with men as you are supposed to when the time comes.
I didn't say you were a moron, I said you were panicked. Anyone can panic. I have. Many times. Even when I was Heda and could not afford too.
If you're going to act as if I insulted you at least wait until I actually do it. This is like how you preemptively kick yourself out of my room when I had no such intentions of getting rid of you.
That you are not listening has nothing to do with you having a brain or not, Ren. If I thought you were brainless I would never have touched you. I wouldn't be exhausting myself over you. I wouldn't care as much as I damn well do.
I don't want to kick you out of my bed, or insult you, or even be arguing with you, again. You are young and scared and it shows but you are still worth the effort. At least, I thought there was something between us that was worth the effort. If there is not, then I was mistaken.
[Genuinely nothing about Ren should be endearing, especially when they are writing and not speaking face to face. Yet Lexa finds herself rather endeared by those little things.]
Though I do not know where we go from here. I am never going to be less than I am, and hiding myself is less than. I did it for so many years, not because my people are like yours and care that I want to be with women but because a Commander cannot afford the indulgence. It is dangerous to both them and their beloved.
It is exhausting to pretend, Ren. So, so exhausting.
