(I fear many outcomes. That he may act on her behalf without her asking. Many of us are suspicious of our roles as Hosts. It hasn't been difficult for me to find who does and doesn't align strongly with the Nest, ready to give themselves to it.)
[This sounds underhanded, but Lexa did want to make sure that she wasn't alone before she began to pursue her suspicions. Besides, Steve knows of her beliefs. She can sense when he doesn't approve of them, but that hasn't rendered their relationship null and void.]
(Should something spark anger within himself with regards to his relationship to her, he may try to make it so that he is the only Host who remains within her purview. I don't believe that to be beyond him, especially after what we have learned of General Hux's actions back in his world.) [Even if they didn't act together, Lexa knows without a doubt that Ren and Hux are allied. It's one of the underlying reasons for why she had try to pry out "personal reasons" for Hux's verbal assault on her.]
(That said, even if I failed in my initial attempt, I do hope that I planted a seed of doubt within his mind that may make him feel less powerful. I do believe it's that this supposed bond that leads him to feeling invincible among us. He is more dependent upon validation than his arrogance initially lets on.) [But the bad part is that he believes he has that validation even when he doesn't. She refuses to believe in the truth of his vision of his relationship with Cathaway. She understands that there's much that she doesn't know, but they had only been mere days into their time as Hosts when he declared his devotion to her. That she was everything to him.]
