I doubt this is the first time you've found someone who doesn't want that kind of recognition. [All of Clarke's prior recognition has always been tainted with bad things. Being Wanheda. Being the leader of Skaikru. Making the hard choices. Even leaving Bellamy to die as she stole away with the new Commander of Wonkru. (Her daughter, whose agency she stripped away because she blindly sought to protect her.)

More than that, Clarke feels as if she's been defined by her people.]

But you can keep trying. Ask me some questions and see what you come up with. Maybe we'll both land on something we like. [She'll relent to that degree, especially since he hasn't given up.]
