Brilliant! At this point I don't think their first interaction is going to end well at all - but it's fine, Ari doesn't hold grudges over petty things, and the Earth skills advice on game day will make up for it, especially if they're having positive little handwavy interactions in the meantime too!

She'd definitely respect Clarke a lot more for the prepping! Ari was told that she didn't need to worry because the ship restocks 'by magic' and her thought process was just omg you're like children who have never been through a shortage. So frustrating for her. Clarke gets all the beef jerky, though - vegetarian Ari's survival instincts don't go quite that far ;)

And yes, let's save the stair interaction! You're right, it would makea fun thread.
