[ For all the fear and the uncertainty about what will happen if she ever finds out what he's hiding, there's no doubt that right now what Clarke wants is to protect him. She seems to need, more than anything, for their little unit to remain close and cohesive. And honestly, Murphy needs that, too. ]
Wasn't sure there was any point in sticking around if you weren't.
[He should have known the reason why, but the truth is, it's one thing to hear about how close he and Murphy had become from Clarke, and another thing entirely to experience it. He knows that's not something Murphy would say lightly, and it's not something Bellamy takes lightly, either.
He lets out a breath, reaching out to squeeze Murphy's shoulder.]
I'm glad you're here, Murphy. No more hiding things from each other. Fair?
[ Murphy does consider it, confessing to all of it. He's already run through it in his head, from a dozen different angles, trying to find a way to explain what he's done without the context of experience to help Bellamy understand.
How could he, though? Murphy himself can barely justify his own thinking. Looking back, he can see every point he should have asked a different question or looked a little closer. When he can't even forgive himself, how can he believe Bellamy will? ]
Fair.
[ He'll come clean eventually, he swears. Just not today. ]

Anything else I missed? Did you and Harper get married while I wasn't looking?

Looks like you and Clarke managed to survive a night together, too.

[ ...He should clarify. ]
Stay, I mean. But she didn't want me to disappear again, so she wouldn't let me leave.

Yeah? And why's that?

She's not my home, Bellamy.
