The next morning Leoni stood in the throne room looking out into the city with her hands behind her back. she had her war paint done, not because she was fighting but because she wanted to show her respect to the warriors in the conclave. she still refused to wear the Commanders jacket much to Gaia's displeasure. she just couldn't do it but she wore the emblem on her head proudly along with armour and boots

"Heda?" Indie called on the girl from the door and Leoni turned around. a small smile crept up her face

"Indie" she cooed walking towards him and shaking his arm.

"i wanted you to know i will not be fighting" he told her. Leoni frowned in confusion. he was by far the best fighter in Trikru

"why?" Leoni asked walking over to her drinks stand and pouring two glasses

"for Octavia" he told her making Leoni stop what she was doing and turn around. she raised a brow as if asking him to explain
"she's your second Heda and i...well i care for her. i don't want to kill her." he told Leoni almost sheepishly

"you care for her gona?" Leoni asked with a smirk, turning back to her alcohol and pouring both her and Indie a glass

"i do Heda. we've become close through your private detail" Indie explained cautiously

"you do know she's in love with Lincoln?" Leoni asked handing him a now full glass which he accepted. Leoni then went to sit on the steps leading to her throne and patted the space beside her signalling for him to sit down. she tried to sit in the commanders chair as little as possible

"yes. another reason why i refuse to kill her" he nodded, sitting down beside his commander

"so what have you guys kissed or more or..." Leoni trailed off sipping at her drink

"no no Heda!" Indie said defensively making Leoni laugh lightly

"it's ok Indie. i'd be happy for her to have someone like you in her life" she nodded and Indie relaxed

"Octavia will win" Indie said changing the subject slightly and Leoni nodded gravely.

"she's the best" Leoni agreed

"of course she is, she was trained by you" Indie winked at Leoni making her smile subtly

"it means i might loose you" Leoni said. her eyes trained on nothing in particular as she took a longer gulp of the alcohol desperate for her feelings to fall down her throat with the burning liquid

"might?"

"there are just over 400 people in Skaikru. there's space for you. if Octavia cares for you which i have no doubt she does you might be invited to join us. i know you'd be my first choice" Leoni shrugged
