( palnaga is inconspicuous enough that clarke near trips over him the next time she steps outside the door of cabin 108. and confusing enough that she has to pick him up and stare, utterly confused, for a few seconds afterwards.

but palnaga is, at the very core of his stitching, recognizable. it's in the glasses mostly; then in the rumpled dark hair. the caricature of a necromancers book registers last, a while after the realization has settled. the doll is slightly terrifying to behold at first, but once a strained sort of familiarity registers... she pulls it close to her face. stares into the button eyes. an uncomfortable bubble of grief swells in her chest cavity.

and it's a good thing tear doesn't stick around. she doesn't have to witness the way the corners of clarke's mouth wobble, or the way she parts her lips to breathe out half-words that maybe sound like i'm so sorry... it also would have been terribly anticlimactic for tear, had she waited for a response, because the best clarke can do in this moment is turn on her heel and retreat back into her cabin.

the door slams.

the palnaga is fiercely clutched to her chest. and then eventually finds a home on her couch bed, right alongside jake the jellyfish squishmallow. )
