There's little animosity between them here and now, but there's still adversity. They've still fought, and they still won't show any kind of weakness, least of all to each other.
For Clove, it's listening to Twelve, knowing she's being listened to, that keeps her strong right now. While the memories she'd forgotten still threaten to overwhelm her, to drown her. Twelve drives her, keeps her going when everything in her wants to stop.
What she really wants is a fight. Someone to go against until she's too sore to move. Or until one or both of them is dead.
But not with Twelve. They have a pact. So it's easier like this, to sit and talk without really talking.]

Haven't heard it.
