[There's a sense that while she listened to everything that Rhys just said, that she doesn't entirely care. It's not that he doesn't have a point. Lexa's people are as dubious as they come when it comes to unknown technology, having managed to forage in a land for goods that would keep them from depending upon it. Even when it comes to the radio that Indra had, it was a necessary evil, and a means to communicating with Skaikru so that they could negotiate and pass information.
Still, she would worry if it weren't passed among her people for so long, and if it weren't something that protected them. But since it does protect them, since it's a part of who she is, she doesn't give any weight to his words. She worries more about what it means to have a symbiote inside of her than that the Flame can do to her.
So, she dismisses his concerns.]
You didn't answer my question, [she says, carefully stepping around how he's just shown concern for her. She won't forget. She just hasn't chosen to acknowledge it just yet.]
Can you scout or hunt? It you can bypass technology, that may prove useful for us here. [Lexa recalls how difficult it had been to get into Mount Weather, and how it began to seem ... impossible. It was that sentiment that led her astray, when their final moments of hope were slipping away.
(Of course, that's just an excuse. Even with the door open, she might have still taken the deal.
Well, no, she likely would have. One led to more assurance of her people's lives than the other.)]
