[ Is that hand gesture supposed to mean something to him? Bellamy frowns in answer, disapproval becoming more pronounced when Rhys suggests Lexa. No, Bellamy wasn't going to ask her for help controlling his thoughts. He'd already revealed too much to her on accident. The vulnerability Bellamy suspects is involved in that sort of training isn't something he could undertake with Lexa. ]
I'm not going to ask Lexa. [ That's probably obvious. ] You don't have to do everything she tells you.
[ It's a very lame follow up, mostly because Bellamy's concerned that if he commiserates meaningfully he'll accidentally reveal too much. And whatever misgivings he has about Lexa, they have a strange, tense truce. Bellamy isn't sure where the boundaries of it lie, but it probably excludes him from complaining too much to semi-strangers. ]
She's not always right.
[ Though Bellamy sounds more tired than anything else when he says that. There's no victory or righteousness to be had here. Lexa was dead and the world was in shambles. None of them had focused on the right enemy. They'd all been wrong. ]
