[There are few who would be so bold as to call Lexa their friend, as she's done well to ensure that everyone experiences some trepidation with it. But there's no point in how she carries herself that indicates that she's inclined to disagree. He is her friend, as well as her student, and someone she means to protect. They're all roles she's taken on with him, one after another.]
(Petre woke not long after the first of our group. I've watched over him since then.) [All facts. Though Lexa is curious about how he'll take the presentation of them. Will their perspective ultimately vary?]
(He was curious about you. It's hard to hide that something's changed given our conditions.) [There's some humor in these words. Lexa is far from the days in which she had a distinct sense of distaste for the mental link. While she still feels tense whenever she thinks too deeply of it, it serves a purpose. For instance: they can have this conversation in public with little worry of being caught.
As it is, Lexa is curious about Petre's impression of Clarke, and even nudges against his mind in wonder. If she learns he thinks she's boring—if, as it's possible he won't reveal that—she'll find it amusing. After all, Clarke is ... capable of the kind of brutality she's certain that Petre would readily respect.]
