[For someone supposedly as practical and realistic as Rita, she takes promises pretty seriously--and believes in Clarke, believes this isn't something made lightly. Rita takes the offered hand--squeezes it tightly, but resists going in for another hug (one is becoming weirdly normal, but a second? embarrassing).]
