(She trains under Indra. In your absence, she'll fight and live on. What you fear most is that she'll be in a grave like Murphy suggested. If she can survive the death of someone she loves, she will keep surviving.) [So long as she still lived when Bellamy left. If her life is dangling in the balance, then Lexa would understand. But her most recent "update" on the situation came when it was about Lincoln. Before that, it was what Lexa herself saw: someone willing to fight to right things no matter what. Maybe she wouldn't give up on Bellamy returning, but time would pass.
Perhaps.
But she doesn't grasp the depth of his relationship with Octavia. Lexa nearly had her killed once. She had seen her as little more than a pawn, and it's difficult to affect any real attachment to her now. She wants to (possibly because of her close proximity to Bellamy for so long), but she can't bring herself to do precisely that. She's too stubborn, too fixed in her ways sometimes.
After all, she needs a foundation in what she builds for herself now. She has a choice of what makes up that foundation.]
(Was it the same with Clarke? Was it a matter of not giving up?)
[Lexa had, but in a different way: she never wanted Clarke to live this life.]
