Talk:Clarke and Lexa/@comment-31.48.94.206-20150317211632/@comment-26288439-20150407203921

@WarriorPrincess13 Clarke did prove that her people are the most imporant to her, and Lexa did leave them and her to die, but she did not do it just because she felt like it.

She told Clarke she made the choice with her head and not her heart, and that means that if she made it with her heart, she would have chosen differently, she did not want to do this. But at the end of the day, her people are the most important thing to her too. Why would she chose 47 of Clarke's people's lives, over the hundreds of her own, especially since it wasn't even sure if they can get them or not?

And yes, she might be responsible for Clarke having to pull that lever, but let's say she didn't take the deal, just because of Clarke. Clarke would be responsible for every single grounder that died on the battlefield that day, and for the hundreds of grounder prisoners that the MM would have undoubtedly executed, since they had no use of them anymore. They would have all died because Lexa had a strong crush/was falling in love with her. How is that better?

Obviously, it's painful to Clarke, and she won't run to Lexa's arms the next time they meet (if they do), but Clarke is not stupid. She will understand that Lexa's hands were tied the moment she heard the offer, because she couldn't have chose otherwise, and if she could (given the chance and time) forgive Finn for murdering the innocents in that village, and she could forgive Bellamy indirectly causing the death of hundreds up on the Ark, she sure as hell can forgive Lexa for not being an idiot and chosing what is right for her people.
