( clarke can't help it, she rolls her eyes at rita's easy dismissal of guns. yes, they're far from elegant but — )
They get the job done.
( she's reminded briefly of the time spent explaining to natsuno that all that really mattered in a fight was efficiency. go for the tendons to disable, main arteries to kill; shoot a magician halfway through their weirdly wordy evocations. the patience required to express all that again to rita is nonexistent though, and clarke's left just hoping some of it will eventually rub off by association. instead, primly and a little snippy: )
Don't tell me what to do. ( also read as: i'll worry if i want. ) Threats that catch you off guard are the most dangerous ones. I just want you to be better prepared, so we don't have to do this again.
( seriously, wrangling rita while she squirmed like a crocodile to get away from makeshift nose braces was weirdly exhausting. )
