(You are welcome.) [Though she says these polite words with some feeling of formality, there is some relief underneath what she says. Lexa doubts that she will ever see eye to eye with Ahsoka, but her willingness to help here had been genuine.]
(When we return, I'd like to check your wounds. I won't have you die.) [It's a selfish concern following what just happened, but one that still is genuine. As the leader of her people, she has never had a warm and strong connection to individuals versus a whole, and she finds it easy to translate it over here. It's easier to seek out that individual connection, yes, but it's still disconcerting and something she regularly struggles with.
But bearing an injury when there are better means of caring for one's self is unwise. Even when Indra did it, Lexa distantly was both aware and frustrated by the fact. She hopes Ahsoka's even slightly less stubborn than one of her generals.]
